Add parts

To record the parts of the maintenance plan press tool Add within the section “Parts” of the window Parties and activities.
The system uses a structure brandishing to define the parts of the computer. As are registering the parties, it provided a tool with which you can position in the party or desired level of the tree.

Edit parts

To make changes to the selected part, press the tool To edit within the section “Parts” of the window Parties and activities.

Remove parts

To delete the selected part, press the tool Delete within the section “Parts” of the window Parties and activities. When you perform this action, you will lose all the sub-parts, and related activities at the removed part.

Copy and paste parts

The System allows copy and paste them including their sub-parts, and related activities. This function is very useful when a computer has multiple equal parts with sub-parts, and/or similar activities. We can even perform this action from one plan to another.

Insert a maintenance plan within another

The tool Insert or replace plan allows you to insert a given plan high above in a selected part of the plan of routine maintenance that is being edited, or replaced.

To use select the part you want to replace, subsequently click on the tool Insert or replace planopens a window in which you should select the desired plan and choose the action to perform, either insert or replace.

For example:

Add activities

As mentioned above, the activities are related to a part of the team or the entire team. Before you add an activity, we must select the part of the computer-related activity. If there is a specific part, then we can relate the activity at the root level, to refer to the entire team.

To register for an activity, press the tool Add within the “Activities” section of the window Parties and activities.

Edit activities

To modify the information of an activity, press the tool Edit within the “Activities” section of the window Parties and activities.

The first thing we need to do is assign a name to the activity and to establish the frequency with which it should be done. Below, we describe each of the fields and options that are provided in the system to document the activities.

Frequency of activities

You can set the frequency of the activities of the following form:

• Rate based on dates
  In a maintenance activity controlled based on dates, the frequency with which it should be done the activity is set in function of the elapsed time. (For example, every day, every week, every 15 days, every 3 months, every 2 years, etc)
• Frequency based on readings
  In a maintenance activity is controlled on the basis of reading, the frequency with which it should be done the activity is based on the use of the equipment. (Example, kilometers traveled, hours of use, units produced, number of ignitions, cycles, etc)

  Option not to skew the readings and force multiples (Often on the basis of reading)

  When there is a delay or an advance in the realization of a controlled activity for reading, the MP will adjust or will automatically run the reading for the next maintenance.

  For example:

  Suppose an activity that is performed with a frequency of 5,000 Km, and the work is physically made up to 5,700 Km with a backlog of 700 KM. By default, the MARKER will schedule your next maintenance for the 10,700 Km away, next to the 15,700 Km and so on, keeping a gap as a result of the delay.

  When you activate the check-box Do not delay [ ], indicates to the MARKER that you must keep exact multiples of the frequency. For example, 5,000 Km, 10,000 Km, 15,000 Km, and so on, regardless of the delays that may occur.

• Mixed frequency
  In a maintenance activity mixed, the frequency with which it should be done the activity is based on the use of the equipment or time, whichever comes first. (Example, every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever occurs first)

Priority activities

Indicates the importance of the activity. At the time of generating work orders, we will be able to set filters to issue in the first instance, for example, the activities of higher priority.

It is possible to set the priority level of the activities such as low, medium or high.

Duration of the activities

In the duration field is set to the estimated time that is required to perform the activity. We will be very helpful to distribute the workload among the maintenance personnel.

As you are assigning work orders to each person, the MP presented to us in a graph the sum of the estimated time of the activities assigned to each worker, and help us to optimize the distribution of the workload.

Shutdown the computer

Check this box when a maintenance activity required to stop the production in order to do it, indicating the number of days estimated that the equipment will be out of service due to maintenance activity. Activities that require the arrest will be reflected on the board of major shutdowns, helping to plan for the arrest of the equipment in advance.

Classification of activities

The system allows you to assign two classifications are independent of the maintenance activities.
An example of classification is recommended based on the specialty required to perform the activity.

For example Classification 1:

• Tecnico Electromecanico
• Instrumentalist
• Lubricator
• Technical maintenance to cooling

For example Rank 2:

• Painting
• Mechanical
• Electric
• Instrumentation

In this case, at the time of generating work orders, you can group the activities and issue work orders separated by specialties, or type of work.
At the time of editing an activity, the rankings are selected from a list of catalog auxiliary classifications. If the desired rating is not yet registered, it is possible to register on line by clicking on the icon To add to the catalog located to the right of the fields of Classification 1 and 2.

You can also add and edit the catalog of classifications from the module Catalogs auxiliary the Main menu.

The activity requires monitoring of a measurement or condition of the equipment (predictive Maintenance)

There are maintenance activities that involve the taking of a measurement, such as, for example, to measure temperature, vibration, thickness, insulation resistance, amperage, etc. Or simply, review activities in which they want to monitor the condition of the equipment or any of its parts, leaving a record on whether the equipment or a part of the team are found in good, fair or poor condition at the time of the review.

Procedure to perform the activity

The procedure is a text field that allows you to describe the way of carrying out the work.

Since the procedures are often used in a repetitive way, the system allows you to save them within a Catalog auxiliary proceduresthat will allow us to select them without having to re-type it each time.

To edit the information of the procedures, this can be done from the screen capture of the activity and if you wanted to modify the content of a procedure previously saved in the catalog, you must do so from the module Catalogs auxiliary the Main menu.

Safety notes, images, and attachments of the activity

• Notes
  In addition to the description of the activity, the user can document notes for each activity.
• Images
  The system also allows for document images illustrating for example a procedure, lubrication points, etc, related to the activity, which may be printed with the work order.
• Attachments
  To complement the documentation of the activity, it is possible to append to the activity attachments of the type-PDF, DOC, CAD, etc, as they could be manuals, technical specifications, drawings, etc

Requirements to close or to include the activity in an OT

At the time of editing an activity, the system allows the user to optionally indicate in your case the following requirements, by ticking the appropriate box:

• Requires prior authorization before generating the OT [ ]
  The activities that have the appropriate box checked, may only be included in a work order through an authorization. The authorization consists of typing a key of a supervisor authorized at the time of generating the OT.
• Requires Vo. Bo. to close the OT [ ]
  Once an activity, the user must indicate that the work has been done so that the system re-schedule the next date for when you need to be performed again.
• The activities that have the check box “Require Vo. Bo. to close the OT “ may only be closed or to be marked as done prior authorization from a supervisor authorized to do so. The authorization consists of typing a key of a supervisor authorized at the time of mark as done the activity.
• Other requirements [ ]
  In the case of other requirements, there is a catalogue auxiliary requirements. In the catalog, the user will be able to document other requirements, which will be printed at the time of printing the work order. For example, permission to work at height, need special equipment, security, etc

Delete activity

To delete the selected activity, press the tool Delete within the section “Parts” of the window Parties and activities. Will not eliminate the activity if it is included in a work order.

Copy, cut and paste activity

The System allows copy, cut and paste activities of one part to another. This function is useful when an activity has to be performed to different parts of the computer, it is even possible to copy activities from one plan to another.
