Scenarios

Purpose

Scenarios determine whether tactical maintenance Tasks that are linked to an Asset are executed (or not) as they describe the operational conditions in a factory or facility that affect the Asset’s availability for maintenance.

How to… View Scenarios

1. Click Asset Care Plans - Scheduling Configuration - Scenarios then .
The Scenarios browse window opens.

Best practice

Scenarios can be based on the following.

Production demand (High Demand, Medium Demand, Low Demand), in which case availability for maintenance is minimal when production is high, and more maintenance can be done when production is low.
Changes in the operating environment or the conditions under which the Asset is used (Dry Conditions, Wet Conditions or Humid Conditions).
Reliability of the Asset - if the Asset is very reliable then maintenance is “LOW', and if the Asset is not reliable then the need for maintenance is “HIGH”.
Probability of Asset failure (80%, 70%, 60%).

Business rules

A Scenario cannot be deleted if it is linked to an Asset.
When a Scenario is deleted it is also deleted from Asset Type Tasks and Standard Tasks.

Please note!

Manually change (or batch update) an Asset's Scenario value when the relevant operational conditions apply. The selected Asset Tasks for this Asset are updated with the new Scenario.
An Asset’s active Scenario determines whether tactical maintenance Tasks that are linked to the Asset are included in Proposed Work Orders for the Asset.
A Scenario must be added to all Asset Type Tasks, Asset Tasks and Standard Tasks in the system.
Use existing functionality such as Seasons, Task Importance and Events in preference to setting up Scenarios.
