Move Operation within Execution Logic Structure

Explanation

This activity is used to move an operation within the execution logic structure (ELS). Both the operations that are already grouped as well as ungrouped operations can be moved from one execution logic order (ELO) to another in the ELS. Ungrouped operations refer to the operations that did not fit into any of the ELOs that were created when the ELS was generated. These ungrouped operations are automatically grouped into the Ungrouped Operations node in the ELS. You need to manually move these operations into the correct ELO nodes in the structure.

If dependencies exist for the operation in the ELO from which it is being moved, these dependencies will be removed when the operation is moved.

Note: When the operation is moved, it will be placed at the starting point of the new ELO and you must sequence it as per your requirements.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, an ELS must exist for the maintenance order and this maintenance order must be in the Under Preparation status.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, both grouped and ungrouped operations will be moved and placed into correct ELOs.

Procedure

  1. Open the Maintenance Order window and search for the necessary maintenance order.
  2. Click the Exec. Logic tab.
  3. In the graphical ELS structure, select the ELO node that contains the operation which is to be moved. Note that ungrouped operations are included in the Ungrouped Operations node.
  4. Click the Gantt tab. If operations are not displayed, right-click on the Gantt chart, and then click Show Operations.
  5. Select the activity bar for the operation that is to be moved, right-click, and then click Move Operation. The Move Operation dialog box opens.
  6. In the ELO Number field that is found in the Move To area, enter the ELO node into which the ungrouped operation is to be moved. Click List to select a valid value.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Refresh the order and verify that the operation has now being moved from the Ungrouped Operations node into the correct ELO node.

Note: This activity can also be performed by right-clicking on the operation node (grouped or ungrouped) in the graphical ELS structure, and then clicking Move Operation. Furthermore, ungrouped operations can also be moved by using the relevant right mouse button option in the Exec. Logic/Exec. Logic Structure/Ungrouped Operations sub tab.
