The Activities tab allows a user to create activities associated with the Tactics of the component that is currently being edited. These activities will be used throughout Orien to assign costs, operations, tasks, etc.
Pre and post activities can also be added in this tab (i.e. equipment isolation prior to work taking place, and de-isolation after work is complete).
Note
If you are connected to an external system you will have the ability to link and upload to that external system.
Important
Activities 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.
Create Tactic Activities
Creating an activity 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 the activity for, and then select the View Strategies button. Afterwards, select the Activities tab.
- Select the Create New button, and you will be presented with an input card allowing you to enter the required information. When you are finished creating your new Activity, click Save and the Activity will become available to use.
Note
If you indicate the Activity is a Critical Activity, this will mark the Activity. These marks will be used to generate any data or reports which are designed to present the critical activities.
Note
You can setup a Review Period in which you will receive an email notification informing you that the Activity is indicated to be reviewed.
The process of creating tactic activities is also demonstrated in the video tutorial below:
Replacement Activities
The replacement activity function allows for budgeting the replacement of a component within a structure. To assign a replacement activity for a component:
- 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 the replacement activity for. Afterwards, click on the View Strategies button. You will be presented with an input card allowing you to enter the required information. When you are finished creating the replacement activity, click the Save icon.
- You can now choose how the replacement activity will be budgeted by selecting the appropriate radio button - Opex Cost, Capital Cost or Not Budgeted. Select Save when complete.
Note
You can only assign one replacement activity per component. For example, if the component is the engine, the replacement activity is about replacing the entire engine itself. All other maintenance activities associated with the engine must be created in the Activities tab.
Follow Up Activities
A Follow Up Activity is a secondary Activity to address the event of a failure occurring, or an Activity that needs to be performed after a specific Activity. For example, the Activity "Inspect axle seals for leaks" would occur after the Activity "Replace axle seal".
Follow Up Activities are created when allocating functions and associated failure modes of a specified component. Refer to the article on Function-Failure & Failure Modes for more information.
Preparation Activities
A Preparation Activity allows you to schedule an Activity to be performed before a specific Activity can be undertaken. For example, the Activity "Remove brake rotor or drum" would before the Activity "Replace axle seal".
Preparation Activities are created when allocating functions and associated failure modes of a specified component. Refer to the article on Function-Failure & Failure Modes for more information.
