Task - Planning tab

Data fields

These data fields are captured or displayed on the Asset Type Task - Planning tab or the Asset Task - Planning tab.

Field	Description/Setting
Responsibility
Section	Defaults to “UNKNOWN”. Select the responsible Section from the lookup list of all Sections.
Trade	Defaults to “UNKNOWN”. Select the responsible Trade from the lookup list of all Trades. If a Trade is not selected and a Labour record is added for or linked to an Asset Task then Trade defaults to the Trade that is specified for the Labour record.
Staff Member	Defaults to “UNKNOWN”. Select the responsible Staff Member from the lookup list of all Staff Members.
Durations (in Hours:Minutes)
Motion Type	Identifies whether the Asset must be moving or stationary when the Asset Task is executed. Possible values are “Stationary', “In Motion” or “Irrespective”. Select a Motion Type that minimises downtime, always bearing in mind safety.
Component Count	The number of Component units is displayed. Defaults to the Quantity specified for the Component, or defaults to “0” of the Task is added to an Asset Type or Asset.
Duration per Unit	The time required for each Trade to complete this Task on one Component unit. Calculated as å[Labour Duration required for each Trade] if Labour is specified for the Task. For example, 00:30 to replace one gear.
Total Calculated Duration	Calculated as [Component Count x Duration per Unit]. The system assumes that the Component Count is “1” when the default value is “0”.
Downtime per Unit	The planned time that the Component unit will not operate while work is performed. For example, 00:15 standing time is allowed to prepare the Component unit for maintenance. If the Component unit can operate while the Task is executed then Downtime is 00:00.
Total Calculated Downtime	Calculated as [Component Count x Downtime per Unit]
Total Downtime	Total Calculated Downtime plus the planned time that the Asset will not be running before and/or after work is performed. For example, 00:15 standing time is allowed to prepare the Asset for maintenance. If the Asset can be running while the Task is performed then Downtime is 00:00.

Please note!

Trade, Section and Staff Member are independent.
The Downtime per Unit value will default to specific values depending on the Motion Type value. If Motion Type is:
- Only when Stationary, then the Downtime per Unit value will default to the Duration per Unit value. The Total Downtime will be calculated based on the Component Count.
- Only when in Motion, then the Downtime per Unit will default to “0”.
- Stationary or In Motion, then the current functionality will remain. The user then needs to maintain the Downtime per Unit field and no defaults will be applied.
Depending on the System Options, Task Labour Sections will be automatically populated with Section specified in the Section field.
