Service Inspection

Preventive maintenance scenarios are used as the basis to generate planned activities. A maintenance scenario has scenario lines based on which planned activities can be generated; based on time), based on time according to a predefined pattern, and usage based.

The book that contains rules that define which maintenance scenarios must be used when a maintenance plan is generated.

You can plan maintenance activity for the installation group and serialized item that the service organization manages. The maintenance planning provides the maintenance activities that must be carried out in the long term. A maintenance plan can be generated only if maintenance scenario is defined for the serialized item.

An inspection is a specific activity that is carried out to determine the condition and the status of a (part of a) configuration or process. Inspection activities can be based on inspection norms that are specified in documents. The inspection activities and inspection intervals are specified in the maintenance program.

Maintenance notifications are generated based on maintenance triggers that are applicable when registering measurements for serialized items during inspection. Based on the measurement type and position of the measurement, the associated maintenance trigger set is determined.

Maintenance notifications can have a follow-up activity defined indicating the next maintenance task that must be performed on the specific serialized item. These maintenance notifications can be transferred to various objects, such as, service orders, internal work orders, service order quotations and maintenance sales quotations.

You can plan required material resources for a planned activity, once the planned activity is transferred to a Service Order or a Work Order and that order is subsequently planned. If the lead time for the required items is long, an option is available to plan and purchase the required materials further in advance without having to create the Service Order or Work Order

For a counter reading, that is linked to a serialized item you can specify a trigger set manually, although not mandatory. For this counter reading, if a usage based maintenance scenario line exists, defining a trigger set is mandatory when you generate a maintenance plan using the Generate Maintenance Plan (tsspc2200m000) session.
