Define Workshop
Explanation
This activity is used to define the workshops at which
maintenance will be performed. Workshops are also used when forecasting
the workload on personnel and material.
A workshop is connected to a specific site. The workshops defined in
IFS/Vehicle Information Management are created automatically as maintenance
organizations in IFS/Basic Data for Maintenance. These maintenance organizations can be viewed
in the Organization Basic Data/Maintenance
Organizations tab.
When defining workshops, it is possible to select a
certain workshop as your preferred workshop and to connect valid locations to a
workshop. When locations are connected, and when you are working on a work order
(in IFS/Work Order Management) leading to a serial structure change, values for
Workshop and Location will appear automatically.
Prerequisites
- To define a workshop, the site must be connected
to the current user's ID.
- To connect a location(s) to a workshop, the
workshop code and location code must be defined.
System Effects
- The workshop is automatically created as a maintenance organization.
- The workshop can be connected to modifications and tasks.
- A valid location code is connected to a workshop. When performing a
structure change on a work order, the location code and workshop will
receive their values by default.
