Connect Equipment Object Structure

Explanation

Use this activity to connect an equipment object structure with an operational plan. The connection is done by that the top node of the object structure is entered in the connection section in the operational plan window. The manual plan lines in an operational plan corresponds to operational events ongoing on the object structure that is connected. This can for example be oil drilling activities that are ongoing on a connected object structure which represent an oil rig.

If IFS/Maintenance Planning Board (MPB) is used, by connecting an object structure to an operational plan, the operational plan is used to derive the object accessibility when scheduling tasks/operations inside MPB, that are planned on the objects in this connected structure. Through operational modes that are connected to objects in the connected structure and operational modes connected to manual plan lines in the operational plan the system can derive what is called the object accessibility (times when a certain object is available/accessible for maintenance). The object accessibility is used in scheduling tasks/operations with MPB if applicable.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity:

• There must be a functional or serial object created in the system.
• There must be an operational plan created in the system.

System Effects

• As a result of this activity, equipment object structure is connected to the operational plan.
• If IFS/Maintenance Planning Board (MPB) is used, you will be able to schedule tasks/operations in maintenance planning board with object accessibility if applicable.

Procedure

1. Open the Operational Plan window.
2. Query (F3) for your operational plan ID or create a new operational plan (F5).
3. In the Object Structure Connection section in the Site field use the List of Values (F8) to select the site for the object structure.
4. In the Object Structure Connection section in the Object ID field use the List of Values (F8) to select the top node of the object structure.
5. Save the information (F12).
