So, What Does This Mean To You?

IF

You are a user all parts pertaining to Brakes = 013

All 013-Front Brakes = 013-001

All 013-001-Brake Shoe = 014

Therefore all parts that are VMRS code 013-001-014 will be a Front Brake Shoe.

You are a parts provider tracking 013-001-014 will make it easy to;

Manage your Front Brake Shoe inventory

Track usage/ sales

Compare pricing by manufacture

If you are a manager using VMRS will allow you understand all

your usage, cost and evaluations.

Here is the Bottom Line

Using VMRS Codes

Where did I spend the most money? Run the report that shows all System Codes.

Include the Assembly and Component codes to be precise.

Why did I have to make repairs? Run the Repair Reason report

What did I have to do to repair my assets?

Run the Work Accomplish Code report

Why did the part fail? Run the Failure report to understand why the parts failed.

By using VMRS codes all maintenance and parts

tracking can be reduced to simplified numeric codes.
