Refit Planner is a mobile data collection App that allows vessel captains, owners and operators to gather information relating to maintenance, refit and repair work specification compilation. The mobile nature of the App allows members of the crew to utilise a tablet to answer questions about the various tasks at their location anywhere in the vessel. Pictures can be taken of the work site and related systems/equipment and edited in the App. All collated data will be simultaneously synchronised with the RefitPlanner.com website when connected.
The App has 2 stages; the first being a registration process, addition of vessel and contact details and the submission of a categorised worklist containing all known tasks for the upcoming refit, repair or maintenance work package. This work list is then submitted to MML for review of categorisation and allocation of a unique numbering system. Stage 2 follows this review where the work list tasks can be accessed individually within the App and a questionnaire completed to allow additional information and pictures relating to each task to be captured and uploaded, via the App, to the website. Further tasks can be added within the App at any time and anything new added will be synched with the website and will therefore allow dynamic update and review. The App, and website, also contains a messaging facility to allow direct communication with MML’s engineering project managers in relation to their vessel’s work list data compilation and management.
