Information sources are a combination of facts and dimensions which are
structured and holds information about a specific transaction table in IFS
Applications. Currently there are 6 information sources based on IFS
Maintenance. One or many of these information sources can be used when
creating an IFS Business Reporter report.
An overview of each information source which is
mainly based on IFS
Maintenance, is given
below:
General Description
Work Order Information Source is based on work orders. This information
source carries work orders in all statuses, i.e both active and historical
work orders as well as work requests and fault reports.
Reports/Analysis
- Follow up on the count of work orders based on different dimensions,
for instance status, maintenance organization and time period
- Execution time on work orders
- Waiting time before work actually started
- How many work orders originated as fault reports
- Comparison between actual start dates/actual finish dates versus
other dates on the work order
Access Types
- DataMart
- Online
Specific Attributes
- Work Order Count
Counter used to count work orders.
This is always set to 1 (one).
- Elapsed Execution Time
The difference between Actual
Finish Date and Actual Start Date, expressed in hours.
The work time calendar associated with the
maintenance organization on the work order is used to get working hours,
i.e this measure counts real working hours, not calendar time.
This can be used to calculate for instance MTTR (Mean Time To Repair).

The difference between Actual Start
Date and Date Created on the work order, expressed in hours.
The work time calendar associated with the
maintenance organization on the work order is used to get working hours,
i.e this measure counts real working hours, not calendar time.'

This is set to 1 (one) if the work
order was registered as a Fault Report or Work Request, otherwise it is
set to 0 (zero).

that are faults to get a fault ratio.

General Description
Work Task Information Source is based on
Work Task.
A work order can have one or more work tasks connected to it. Work task is an
entity which executes the work initiated through a
Fault Report or
Service request.
You can use this window to update information about the faulty equipment if it
differs from the reported one. Performed maintenance activities are reported,
monitored and invoiced to customer if IFS/Service Management is used, through
the work task.
Reports/Analysis
Following are some report examples that might be created based on this Information Source:
- Division of maintenance costs on corrective maintenance and preventive
maintenance respectively
