Tasks

Tasks identify what work can be done to:

Resolve an Asset's failure and ensure that the Asset is operational as soon as possible, or
Prevent an Asset from breaking down, or
Ensure that health and safety standards are maintained
Ensure that best practices are enforced.

Work Orders for an Asset include a list of Tasks that are executed at specific intervals or on an ad hoc basis.

Original Tasks

An original or custom Task is added to a specific Asset Type Component or Asset Component.

Standard Tasks

A Standard Task is selected and linked to applicable Components.

Sub Tasks

Sub Tasks give structure to the Task that they are added to; they specify the step-by-step procedure to complete the Task.
For example, the steps that must be followed for the Task “Replace Bearing” are captured as Sub Tasks and listed in sequence on the Sub Tasks for Asset Type Task window.

Synchronisation

Different Task settings on the Task - Rule Evaluation tab specify the Task’s dependency on its sub items (Spares, Special Resources, Follow-Up Tasks and Task Labour Records) when Asset Type Tasks are inherited as Asset Tasks during synchronisation.

Settings are defined for each sub item, and the default setting is “True”.

To exclude the Task when all Rules for Task Spares are evaluated to “false”, if Spares exist for the Task.
To exclude the Task when all Rules for Special Resources are evaluated to “false’, if Special Resources exist for the Task.
To exclude the Task when all Rules for Follow-Up Tasks are evaluated to “false’, if Follow-Up Tasks exist on the Task.
To exclude the Task when all Rules for Task Labour Records are evaluated to “false’, if Task Labour Records exist on the Task.
