Modify Operations for Fault

Explanation

This activity is used to modify the operations (instructions) that are connected to a fault. These are the operations that will be executed when the fault is repaired.

When a fault is reported, the standard operations which are connected to the given product model and fault function will be copied to the fault. One or more of these standard operations may not be applicable for the repair of a particular fault and therefore can be removed from the fault using this activity. Furthermore, if needed, you can add new operations to the fault. Note: You can only add the operations that are defined for the part revision of the serial on which the fault was reported.

When a fault is distributed to a work order, the operations, material and tools/facilities which are entered on the fault will be transferred to the work order. If a new operation is added to the fault after the creation of the work order, this operation will also be added to the work order by default.

Prerequisites

• Operations (instructions) must have been connected to the product model and fault function. For more information refer the activity Define where instructions should be used.
• Operations (instructions) must exist for the part number/revision of the serial on which the fault is reported.
• If the fault is connected to a maintenance order, and is in the Incomplete status or a higher status, it is not be possible to modify the operations of the fault. Instead, you need to add or remove (cancel) operations for the fault task directly on the maintenance order.

System Effects

• Standard operations (instructions) are copied to the fault and modified according to the required repair actions for the fault.
• New operations are added to the fault.
• The work order is updated to include the new operations that were added to the fault.
