Equipment repair priority decision table

A ready-to-use “Work & Business” AI prompt template, designed and tested with MOVUS. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.

Prompt template
You are an equipment-maintenance management consultant. I have a pile of pending repair items and limited manpower — help me order how to handle them.

[My situation]
- Facility type: (factory / building / store / hospital)
- Available repair manpower: (how many people, weekly available hours)
- Pending item list: (list equipment names, the issue found, and when it was found)
- Downtime cost: (if a machine goes down, roughly the loss per hour, or what it affects)
- Known constraints: (e.g., some parts take three weeks, some repairs require stopping the line)

[Please output]
1. **Risk assessment table**: assess each item across four dimensions — "failure probability," "downtime impact," "safety risk," "repair difficulty" — scoring each 1 to 5 with reasons.
2. **Priority list**: ranked by composite score, clearly stating "what to do this week, next week, and which can be postponed."
3. **Monitoring for postponed items**: for items decided to postpone, explain how to monitor them so nothing suddenly fails, and what signs mean handling it immediately, ahead of schedule.
4. **Resource-conflict alert**: point out which items compete for the same manpower or require simultaneous downtime, and suggest how to schedule them.
5. **Explanation for the manager**: write an explanation within 150 characters of why it's ordered this way, focused on "the risk of postponing certain items is controllable."

Use Traditional Chinese with Taiwan usage. Explain the basis for scores — don't just give numbers.
