Add Permits to Work Order Operation

This document explains how you edit the permit requirements for a work request to ensure that the equipment is made safe to work on. The document also explains how you add permit lines and additional isolation points. Note that permits are sometimes called "Lock-outs"

Outcome

Permits and locks are connected to the WO operation to identify the safety requirements which must be put in place before work commences on certain types of equipment.

Uses

The permits and locks will ensure that the equipment is made safe and is correctly isolated before work begins.

How the System Is Affected

Information is stored in the following files:

Routing operation activity description (MMOOPS)
Routing operation activity, permit lines (MMOOPP)

Before you start

The starting conditions listed in Stopping, Delaying and Replanning Work Order Operations must be met.
Permits should be defined in 'Permit. Open' (PDS046).
Isolation points can be predefined in 'Isolation Point. Open' (PDS049).
Lock ID's can be predefined in 'Lock ID. Open' (PDS048).

Follow These Steps

Start 'WO Operation. Open Operation Element' (MOS104/B).

The program can be reached either from 'Work Order. Open' (MOS100), option 'Materials and operations' and then option 'Operation element', or from 'Work Schedule. Open Toolbox' (MOS195), option 'Op elements'.
Select panel sequence E and sorting order 1.
Specify an element number and an element type.

The element number is a sequence number, for example 001, 002, 003 etc.

The element type must be 6 for permits.
Enter the ID of the permit and select new to display the E panel.

The permit should be predefined in (PDS046).
Press Enter to save the permit record.

Add an Additional Permit Line

On the (MOS104/E) panel, highlight the permit and select option Permits to display 'Work Request Operation. Connect Permits' (MOS109).

Note that the option is only available when operation element type 6 is used.
On the B panel, specify a sequence number and select Create to display the E panel.
Select an isolation point and/or a lock ID.

Isolation points and locks are predefined in (PDS049) and (PDS048). The name and description will default from these, but may be changed.

The lock ID is usually an identity for a physical lock that is used to prevent danger. An example would be a lock that can be used to block the start button on a boiler to prevent it from being started while work is performed inside it.
Press Enter to save.
