INTRODUCTION
------------
Have you ever wondered how much output you are getting from
your employees? Does it take an inordinate amount of time to dig
up information on how much was spent on repairs for a particular
piece of equipment? Can you easily document how much was spent
on repairs for a certain department due to the department's
neglect or abuse of equipment? Once set up does your preventive
maintenance system keep an employee occupied pulling cards or
writing up preventive maintenance work orders? Do you know what
your corrective and preventive maintenance backlogs are? Have
you ever had to hunt through file drawers to find a part number
or lubricant type for a piece of equipment? Do you know how many
of the outstanding work requests are 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, or
2 months old? Do you know how much spare parts inventory is
sitting on the shelf? Do you have too many last minute parts
purchases because someone forgot to tell you when the supply got
low? Do you have $3000-$15,000 to spend on a commercial
maintenance software package?

Forms Requirements:
-3.5 inch high continuous feed paper is recommended for
printing of work orders and preventive maintenance work
orders. This is a convenient size as work orders printed
in condensed print easily fit in a maintenance engineer's
shirt pocket. There are probably many possible sources
for this paper, however, 2 that I know of are:
Installation:
1. Turn on your PC and wait until you have the C> prompt,
or whatever hard disk drive you want to use. During
these instructions I will refer to the C> prompt or the
"C" drive for your hard disk. You could be set up with
a different drive letter so substitute yours
accordingly.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
---------------
GETTING STARTED
---------------
Most menus and data entry screens are fairly intuitive as to what
you should type in. When filling in the data entry screens, if a
piece of information is not known, leave the field blank. If you
are ever unsure of an entry or menu option, one of the
enhancements to this version of PC MECHANIC is context sensitive
help. You access this by hitting the F1 function key. Remember,
HELP IS ACCESSED BY HITTING F1. When you complete a field, hit
enter or the down arrow key to position the cursor at the start
of the next field. If you make a mistake and haven't left a
field yet, you have the left & right arrows, backspace, delete,
and insert keys available for editing the data field. Sometimes,
you can move back one field by hitting the up arrowkey. This will
vary due to the usage of dBASE READ commands. Finally, if you
make a mistake, continue entering data in the remaining fields.
When you get to the bottom of the screen, you will be asked if
everything is OK. The normal response is Y for yes or N for no.
By hitting N, or just enter since the default is no, you can step
back through the data fields and make corrections where
necessary. If a field is OK, just hit enter to move on to the
next field.
In these instructions, there will be many instances where
you will be told to type in something. The proper keystroke or
keystrokes will be shown within quotation marks, such as these
"". What you type in should be the keystrokes contained within
the quote marks, but not including the quote marks.

Assuming the vendors database has been set up, you will want
to set up the parts records. Select item #1 at the inventory
system menu. You will then be given the options to enter,
modify, delete, or return to the previous menu. Some notes about
entering parts records are in order. The Item # is a part number
which YOU assign to each part. You may want to start at 1 and
sequentially number every item, or you may want to devise a
letter and number code to describe the part. Mfg., is the
manufacturer. Cat. # is the manufacturer's catalog or ordering
number. Location is described by storeroom (Strm.), row in the
storeroom, shelf in the row, and bin number on the shelf. The
program allows for two storeroom locations. Desc. is for a
description of the part, and can be 2 lines of 40 characters
each. Value is the total opening value of the item stocked. This
will be updated automatically as you issue material or receive
purchases. Qty.on Hand is the quantity on hand. Reorder at is
the level of inventory the part quantity must fall to before it
is reordered. Reorder Qty. is the amount that should be
reordered based on previous experience. Unit price is the quoted
price the last time the item was ordered. This should be updated
each order. In the section for vendors, you only need to enter
the vendor ID# and the system will bring up the company name of
the vendor. There is space to enter 3 vendors who carry the
particular part. At the fields for entering the vendor numbers,
the use of the look-up window function is active. If you don't
have a listing of the vendors by vendor number handy, just hit
the enter key to open up the window, step through the vendors
database until the correct vendor is listed, and hit enter to
select. The look-up window will display the vendor company names
in alphabetical order along with the vendor numbers. At the end,
you will be prompted if everything is OK and if there are more
entries to be made.

displays the part cost. After entering up to 3 parts used, the
system totals the parts cost.
