PM & WO MODULES
Individual PMs can be assigned into a PM
module which is ideal for certain types of work
such as shutdowns or walk about inspection
checks. Defect work can be added into
modules to ensure all relevant work is planned
and executed. In addition, work modules offer
efficient methods to batch job cards with
efficient reporting across groups of work.
WORK REPORTING
Efficient methods are offered to report
individual job progress, resource usage,
WO handover, closure as well as multi-job
batch processing.
CMMS: Integrated Asset, Work, Safety and Logistic Management | www.engica.com12
ANALYSIS & REPORTING
All work activities (work detail, time, spares,
resource, safety, calibration etc.) are recorded
in History and can be analysed using Q4
reporting facilities or by external report tools.
• Life cycle status fully recorded for audit
• Record inspection information for
predictive analysis and statutory
regulations
• Complete Work Order reporting
individually or in a mobile group
• Create follow-on Work Orders
• View the actual Work Order cost elements
9. INTEGRATED SAFETY
Using the Q4 Safety module WO tasks can be
risk-assessed and safety documents can be
requested, created and processed.
PERMITS
Q4 Permit module is dedicated to the
management of Permit to Work documents
and Certificates.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Q4 Risk Assessment supports the
identification of hazards relating to each step
of a work task and assists in the nomination of

INTERACTIVE AND INTUITIVE TOOLS
Q4 LOTO contains features to manage the
entire isolation process with controls and
checks to support logical process flow
The software guides users through the process
of creating an Isolation Certificate, (Classified
Isolation Certificates or Isolations on a Permit)
by selecting the isolations required while
checking if they are already being shared
by other work.
Q4 Isolation Manager controls the sequence
of status changes that an Isolation Certificate
is moved through during its life cycle. The
workflow engine ensures that all necessary
procedures and authorizations are
completed before moving to the next stage
in the sequence.
If required, the IC can be configured to work
with a Sanction to Test or Equipment Testing
Certificate to control the release of isolations
for testing in a safe manner.
The isolation and de-isolation process can be
managed with Lock or Tag control and also
features a mechanism for cross locking to
assist in situations where complex cross lock
procedures are required.
• Build Isolation
• Analyze
• Document
• Apply Isolations
• Lock & Tag
• Issue & Proceed
• Test Management
• De-Isolate
VISUALLY TRACK YOUR ACTIVE WORK
The Q4 Dashboard is the ideal application
if you need to visually track active work
orders and safety documents to their physical
location. The configurable digital map and
site plot display offers zoom, pan and layer
views to navigate effectively around the site.
It also offers alerts and potential conflict
management.
Please refer to Q4 Safety for more details.

OPTIMISATION
Multi-location spares, tools and material
stores are fully managed to support work and
equipment to optimise their critical role while
assisting logistics staff to tightly manage stock,
vendors, contracts and transactions.
POLICIES
A single screen for each inventory record
and its policy can be used to determine how
the item is reordered, with ROQ & ROL level
computations along with other details.
A series of processing and forecasting
algorithms facilitates optimum stock holdings,
taking account of lead times to match your
maintenance strategy.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
A core design goal of all Q4 solutions is
to provide you with a system that adapts
to your processes and required outputs,
rather than forcing procedural change to
match the software. The Q4 architecture
allows the system to be configured to precise
requirements using instruction sets that are
utilised by the Q4 Engine.
WORK FLOW
The Q4 system includes the ability to operate
client-specific outputs for key document types
that closely represent the paper Job cards, POs
and RFQs.
The system supports any number of WO and
PO types, each of which can have its own
layout, logic and data to provide users with
immediate familiarity and rule base.
Configuration
CMMS: Integrated Asset, Work, Safety and Logistic Management | www.engica.com 25
REQUISITION/RFQ AND PO LAYOUTS
The format of printed RFQ and POs is
also client-specific. Engica has implemented
different sizes, colours, styles, watermarks,
single/double sided and continuation
sheet handling on many printer types.
OUR APPROACH
Q4 systems are not just items of software,
they are business solutions and we treat each
implementation of our products as a complete
business project.
Based on our experiences of implementing
our Q4 solutions through a wide variety
of industries, we have developed an
implementation methodology which has now
become a fundamental part of our solution.
Central to this methodology is the partnership
we build with our client during the project
allowing the team to combine our in-depth
knowledge of the product and past usage with
the client’s understanding of their own work
practices and requirements.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
Integration is a key aspect of Q4 and each
module offers seamless integration with
each other when connected. Q4 integration
to third party applications is also designed
at its core with the system’s multi-tier object
orientated architecture.
The Q4 API can be fully exposed to
communicate with such systems as DMS,
Finance, ERP, Mobile devices and many more.
A number of leading systems have been
integrated to date with applets and
web services.
CMMS: Integrated Asset, Work, Safety and Logistic Management | www.engica.com26
Integration Technology
LANGUAGE
Q4 systems are designed to work and switch
instantly to multiple languages. New languages
can also be added as required. Q4 is currently
available in over 16 languages.
DATA SEGREGATED MODELS
Q4 is capable of using a segregated data model
(on MS SQL Server / Oracle) to hold data from
multiple sites and/or specific disciplines with
restricted access based on login name. This
allows multiple sites to use a single database
and server to service all users.
SECURITY
Q4 systems offer advanced configurable
security features including authentication
extending to single sign-on, security switching,
role and skill matching.
