The Tactics module allows users to access the structure of a functional location/asset (i.e. a haul truck). Users can access components within the functional location, to attach associated failure modes and activities.
Functions within the tactics module include:
- Replacement activities
- Component function and functional failure
- Failure modes
- Component criticality
- Activities
- Material allocation
- Labour allocation
- Custom Costs
- Task images
- Task symbols
- Data Capture Points
Multiple activities can be allocated to a single failure mode, for example:
- In the component library, a component can be built with many allocated activities to a specific failure mode.
- When copied out of the component library and work-shopped, the non-applicable activities can be easily deleted.
Pre and post activities can also be added in the activities section (i.e. equipment isolation prior to work taking place, and de-isolation after work is complete). This is covered in more detail in the article on Tactic Activities.
Note
Your access level/permissions, along with where on the Hierarchy your user profile is located, will determine the functionality of the Tactics Module on the selected entity.
Creating Asset Tactics
Tactics are created in the order as indicated in the flow chart below:
Important
Tactics can only be created (or edited) in the working version of component or structure. For more information on creating a new revision of an item to enable editing, please refer to the article on Versioning & Revisions.
Creating an asset tactic in Orien involves several steps. Let's review these in some more detail.
- Choose the appropriate item in your hierarchy, select the Tactics module and then the Tactics tab (if required). You can now see the structure of the selected item.
- Select the component you want to create a new tactic for, and you will be presented with an input card.
- From here you can assign your Function, the category, type, and Failure. Once the Tactic framework has been created, you are able to assign Activities, the frequency of the activity and how the activity is budgeted directly towards the Tactic.
Note
These drop-down options can be edited in the Tactics Configuration Menu (refer to the article on Module Configuration) by users with the appropriately assigned permissions. You are not required to input these values at the creation of this Tactic.
The process of creating an asset/component tactic is also demonstrated in the video tutorial below:
Revisions
Revisions allow you to view the history of the Tactics. This records all the changes that have been made against the Tactic, who created the changes and if the Tactic is currently in development.
