March 29, 2021 4.0 Bei uns im Unternehmen werden die Wartungschecklisten der Produktion und der Instandhaltung in Cioplenu dargestellt, außerdem Rüstanleitung / Reparaturanleitungen / Checklisten zu einzelnen Arbeitsabläufen. Außerdem wird Cioplenu auch in der Logistik und der QM (z.B. Fehlerrückverfolgung) verwendet. Es werden immer neue Bereiche integriert. Zu Beginn ist es natürlich, wie bei jeder neuen Software ein enormer Pflegeaufwand, dieser minimiert sich aber, dann sobald das System gefüllt ist. Grundsätzlich finden sich die Nutzer sehr schnell zurecht. Pros Die Funktionalität der Bilder/Links/Verpflichtende Angaben/Modulen/Aufträge/Regeln werden bei uns am häufigsten genutzt. Es werden aber inzwischen auch immer mehr die weiteren Interaktionen + Funktionen (z.B. Tasks) genutzt. Die Software entwickelt sich immer weiter, im letzten Jahr hat sich sehr viel getan. Es kann an immer neuen Lösungen/Verbesserungsvorschlägen mit Cioplenu gearbeitet werden und die Software auf die Bedürfnisse des jeweiligen Kunden angepasst/optimiert werden. Cons Die Funktion der Regel / Tasks und Analytics könnten/sollten noch verbessert werden. Außerdem muss noch am Berechtigungsmanagement gearbeitet werden. Die Performance muss sich noch verbessern. Die Kundennähe ist nicht mehr so, wie zu Anfangszeiten. Review Source Response from Operations1 April 12, 2021 Many thanks for your in-depth review.
