Calculate Best Maintenance Levels for Tasks

Explanation

This activity is used to calculate the maintenance levels which would efficiently cover the tasks included in the work scope. The best ones are chosen in terms of the maintenance levels which will expose fewer parts but still be enough to expose all the components which have tasks connected to them.

This activity can be performed at any level of the maintenance overhaul object structure.

If you choose to retain the current settings after the calculation, the positions with maintenance levels which provide sufficient exposure of parts will be left as they are. The other positions will be assigned to the best maintenance levels. If you choose not to retain the current settings, all the positions included in the calculation will be assigned the best maintenance level without any consideration about their current setting.

Prerequisites

• Disassembly, disposition and assembly structures and routings must be defined for all the position parts in the structure.
• Maintenance level structures and routings have to be defined for all the sub-assemblies.
• Customer maintenance baselines and tasks should be defined in IFS/Vehicle Information Management.

System Effects

• Work scope maintenance records are created for the parts for which this calculation was run and also for their sub-assemblies.

Procedure

1. Open the Define Work Scope window.
2. Select the work order by populating the window or by performing a query.
3. In the graphical object structure on the Define Work Scope tab, select the node for which you want to perform this activity.
4. Right-click and then click Calculate Best Maintenance Levels for Tasks. This option is only enabled if tasks exist within the work scope.
5. The Calculate Best Maintenance Levels for Tasks dialog box opens. Optionally, select the Retain current settings where sufficient check box and then click OK.
6. Verify the results in the graphical structure as well as in the Assign Maintenance Level sub tab. Green icons indicate that there are parts with assigned tasks and they are exposed. Red icons indicate that there are parts with assigned tasks but they are not exposed.
