Perform Condition Measurements

Explanation

This activity is used to record condition measurements on a work order operation. During execution of a scheduled maintenance it is possible to find abnormalities, such as, measurements that are outside the defined condition limits. When such measurements are found, you can use the functionality described in this activity to record the new measurements and initiate corrective action. When a measure value that is outside any of the defined condition limits is recorded, a maintenance task is created and added automatically to the work package (maintenance order) for the ongoing work scope. 

Note: If condition measurement requirements exist on an operation these measurements must be performed before the operation can be completed.

Prerequisites

• The work order operation must exist in either the Released or Started status.
• Condition measurement requirements must be defined on the operation, i.e., the Condition Measurement Required check box must be selected on the operation line.
• Condition limits must have been defined for the serial connected to the work order operation.

System Effects

• Condition measurements are recorded on the work order operation. This information can be viewed in the Condition Meas. subtab.
• The Condition Measurement Performed check box will be selected on the operation line.
• If the measurement is outside the defined limits, a maintenance task is generated for it. The task will be added automatically to the maintenance order for the ongoing work scope.
• The condition measurements reported on the operation will be transferred automatically to IFS/Vehicle Information Management and a history record will be generated.
