Define Subtasks

Explanation

This activity is used to define subtasks. Instructions are commonly broken down into more detailed activities often referred to as subtasks. In this activity, subtasks can be defined and used on task types such as interval maintenance, modifications, LLPs, condition limits and faults.

The subtask will contain similar information as the instruction. Examples of information common to subtasks and instructions: Type of operation and the location at which it is to be performed, functional breakdown, execution phase, competence requirements, material list, tools and facilities, zones and access panels, and signature requirements.

Note that it is possible to remove an existing subtask if it is not used by any instructions.

Prerequisites

• Valid serial part revisions must exist.
• Instruction types and instruction locations must be defined.
• Execution phases must be defined.
• Competencies or roles must be defined.

System Effects

• Subtasks are defined and materials, tools or facilities, zones and sign off requirements can be entered on the subtask.
• Subtasks of the same part number and revision can be connected to instructions.
