Who Should Attend:
Engineering and operations employees who want a better understanding of the work order process.
Webinar Overview:
Whether your utility uses a traditional special equipment system, has inventoried special equipment, or has a combination thereof, this session will provide a clear explanation of the installation and maintenance of these items on the distribution system. You will learn what special equipment information needs to be tracked, how it is used in the billing system, and why there may be questions asked on the paperwork/data input side of things.
(Note that the Understanding the Work Order System Series is comprised of eight webinars from March through October 2023. Webinars can be taken individually or as an entire series; by registering for the full series, you will receive all eight webinars at a discounted price.)
Webinar Objectives:
Understand the original process set in the REA program.
Create adaptations for special equipment as inventory.
Create adaptations for special equipment being charged to jobs/work orders.
Analyze timesheets and charge out processes.
Retire and refurbish special equipment.
Webinar Recordings:
Webinar recordings can be made available to registrants who are unable to attend live.
