The need was not to replace that system, but to create an additional accountability layer around issues that required escalation. Production supervisors and leadership needed a reliable way to document that a maintenance issue had been escalated, ensure the appropriate teams were aware of it, and maintain a record of the escalation. Without a consistent process, important issues could be missed or lack sufficient visibility across Production and Maintenance. --- ## Solution I designed and developed an iPad-based application that complemented the existing UpKeep maintenance process. Production supervisors and leadership used the application to record maintenance escalations directly from the manufacturing environment. Entries captured operational information such as equipment or location, issue description, urgency, photographs, and information related to the associated UpKeep request. Power Automate workflows documented the escalation and automatically shared it through Microsoft Teams, giving Production and Maintenance immediate visibility that an issue had been raised while preserving a centralized record for future reference. The application was intentionally designed as an escalation and accountability layer rather than a replacement for UpKeep, allowing the existing maintenance system to remain the primary work-management platform. Key Capabilities - Maintenance Escalation Reporting - Equipment & Location Identification - Issue & Urgency Capture - Photo Documentation - UpKeep Process Alignment - Automated Teams Notifications - Persistent Escalation Records - Cross-Functional Visibility --- ## Business Impact The application improved visibility and accountability around maintenance escalations across multiple manufacturing sites. Production leadership and maintenance personnel gained a shared view of issues that had been escalated, reducing the likelihood that important maintenance concerns would be missed or communicated inconsistently. Teams notifications brought escalation activity directly into an existing collaboration channel, while the application maintained a permanent record of each event. By complementing UpKeep with a dedicated escalation layer, the solution strengthened communication between Production and Maintenance without disrupting the established maintenance-management process. --- ## My Contribution I designed and built the complete solution end to end. I developed the Power App used in the manufacturing environment, designed the supporting data structure, created the Power Automate workflows, and implemented the Microsoft Teams integration used to distribute escalation activity. I also designed the overall workflow so the solution complemented the existing UpKeep process while adding the visibility, accountability, and recordkeeping the business needed.
