Maintenance downtime
Maintenance downtime is used to register when an asset is not available for a specific period of time, for example, in a production environment.
The Maintenance downtime activities page details the maintenance schedule lines and work order jobs on the assets during a specific period. All maintenance jobs have an expected start date with a downtime period, which is useful in adjusting planned maintenance jobs:
- Get an overview of required shut-down periods of production equipment (assets).
- Get an overview of planned maintenance (hours), grouped by competencies (responsible maintenance worker groups or maintenance workers), for example, capacity load on electricians, smiths, or other maintenance work groups that are required to perform the planned maintenance jobs.
- Adjust the maintenance schedule lines or work order maintenance jobs that are related to the assets, for example, change expected start and end times on a line or select other maintenance workers to optimize the workflow for maintenance workers and maintenance worker groups.
When assets are selected on a downtime registration, any open maintenance schedule lines and work order jobs are included in the downtime registration.
