Identify Maintenance Opportunity and Scope

Explanation

This activity is used to identify maintenance opportunity and scope. You will need to prioritize pending tasks from the pool of maintenance actions maturing within the horizon defined in the maintenance plan and modifications along with all pending faults, life limited parts (LLPs) and condition limits. Mandatory modifications and critical faults are typical examples of tasks that must be prioritized. How much time you have available to perform the maintenance must also be considered when you plan your tasks.

As a basis for decisions concerning task distribution, use query windows and reports to summarize:

• The operational and maintenance schedule for the selected serial.
• The latest maintenance actions for the serial.
• Scheduled maintenance for the selected workshop.
• Due dates for serials attached to the vehicle in question.
• Outline of other serials with the same part number.
• All running tasks for the selected workshop.
• The availability of vehicle parts of a selected type.
• Time available to perform maintenance compared to the assumed hour consumption of the tasks.

When this activity is finished, you can generate a work order to a selected workshop.

Prerequisites

Pending tasks must exist.

System Effects

Pending tasks are prioritized, and as a result, a work order can be created.

Procedure

Maintenance opportunity and scope can be identified from the Task Distribution window, the Serial Maintenance window, the Due Information per Task window and the Maintenance Order/Assign Tasks/Pending Tasks tab. The following procedure is performed within the Task Distribution window, although the procedure begins from the Pending Tasks window. 

1. Open the Pending Tasks window. 
2. Query (F3) for the pending tasks and select the serial for which you will identify maintenance opportunity and scope.
3. Right-click and click Task Distribution to open the Task Distribution window.
4. Prioritize the pending tasks. Consider which task should be performed first and how much time you have to perform the maintenance. Right-click a task and select an option to view details for that task.
5. Once your tasks are prioritized, you can create a work order.
