20030130820, Jul 10, 2003

Filed:

Jan 7, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/041936

Inventors:

George Lane - Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:

G06F015/00

US Classification:

702/184000

Abstract:

A data based work order system for maintaining and analyzing maintenance records, including work orders, technicians assigned, data from the maintenance performed, including the time required to perform the maintenance and any other desired information related to each work order. The system can analyze the data entered to perform various desired functions, such as comparing the time taken to perform a specific type of work order with a standard benchmark time for a comparable work order. The system can electronically interactively interact with the service technician as the work order progresses. The service technician can enter the actions taken into a system database, such as the start time, pauses, parts replaced or ordered, completion or non-completion. The system can provide the technician with an electronic decision hierarchy from an inventoried set of pre-identified work order problem solutions, which the technician can utilize to select solutions to the problems identified by the technician as the maintenance is completed. The data can be analyzed to update, develop or compare benchmarks for a specific type of work order; to provide information specific to the skills of each specific technician and to indicate where training is warranted for specific types of work orders, such as from a comparison with the relevant work order benchmark; the data can be analyzed to spot trends and problems associated with specific types of equipment or specific sites or apartment units; and the database can be utilized to generate reports.

International Classification:

G06F015/00

US Classification:

702/184000

Abstract:

A method for processing maintenance work orders includes: identifying a plurality of maintenance problems; generating a work order for each maintenance problem in a computer, including at least the location of each problem and the type of each problem; assigning each of the work orders to one of a plurality of technicians to fix each of the problems; entering data from each technician in the computer relating to the technician completing each work order, including at least the action taken to fix the problem and the elapsed time to complete the work order; and collecting the data from each of the work orders and analyzing the collected data with respect to at least one of the characteristics of similar types of problems stored in the computer.

Appl. No.:

7/550646

Inventors:

George R. Lane - Hurst TX
Frank M. McDuff - Fort Worth TX

International Classification:

E04B 700

US Classification:

52 23

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for anchoring a mobile home utilizes an extender strap. The extender strap connects between a conventional anchor buried in the ground and an overhead tie that has ends that have been cut off too short. The extender strap secures to an extender plate by a loop that passes through a slot in the extender plate. The loop is crimped. The shortened end of the overhead tie loops through another slot in the extender plate. This end is also crimped. Reinforcing plates will be bent and located in the loops prior to crimping. The lower end of the extender strap connects to an anchor in a conventional manner.
