Recording usage-based schedule information for work package

This page allows you to enter the usage-based schedules for the work package. Tell me more.

Select the “Edit Usage Based Schedule” link at the bottom of the ”Create Work Package” or “Edit Work Package” page.

The “Edit Usage Based Schedule Information” page appears.

The system displays the following in the “Work Package Details” group box:

Work Package #	The number identifying the work package selected in the main page for which the usage-based schedule details have to be specified.
Work Package Description	The textual description of the work package.
Primary Work Center #	The number identifying the work center where the work package has to be performed.
Work Center Desc	The textual description of the work center.

Note: On launching the page, the system displays the usage-based schedule details that have already been specified for the work package.

Enter the following in the “Usage Based Schedule Details” multiline:

Parameter	A number that identifies the consumption parameter in the aircraft or its component (Alphanumeric, 40). Mandatory. This parameter must be of the “Consumption” type defined in the “Create Parameters” activity of the “Aircraft” business component. The periodicity of the task will be decided based on the values of the consumption parameters.
	Help facility available.

The system displays the following field on clicking the “Edit Usage Based Schedule” pushbutton:

UOM

The unit of measurement of the parameter.

Enter the following:

Schedule Type	Use the drop-down list box to specify whether the work package has to be performed on a “One-Time” or “Recurring” basis.
Threshold	The maximum number of days, weeks, months or years within which the work package for the consumption parameter is to be carried out (Decimal). Data entry in this field is mandatory if the “Schedule Type” is set as “One-Time”. Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive.
Interval	The interval in which the work package for the consumption parameter has to be repeated (Decimal). Data entry in this field is mandatory if the “Schedule Type” is set as “Recurring”. Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive.
Alert Value	The value after which an alert needs to be given on the impending work unit execution (Decimal). Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive.
Positive Tolerance	The upper limit within which the work unit is to be performed (Decimal). Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive.
Negative Tolerance	The lower limit within which the work unit is to be performed (Decimal). Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive.
Terminating value	The value after which the maintenance activity cannot be performed on the component (Decimal). This value should be less than the value entered in the “Threshold” field.

Note: The terminating value should be less than the “Ultimate Value” defined for the parameter of the component or part in the “Aircraft” business component. Ensure that at least one schedule detail is entered in the multiline.

Note: The system displays the parameter values in the multiline based on the option “Decimal Format” or “HHMM Format” selected for the parameter in “Time Display Option” drop-down list box in the “Aircraft” business component while parameter creation. For e.g. If the Time Display Option is selected as “HHMM Format” and the value stored is 2.50 in the data base, the system displays 2.30 in the multiline.

Click the “Edit Usage Based Schedule” pushbutton to update the usage-based schedule information.

Note: The system updates the “Last Modified By” and “Last Modified Date” of the Work Package # with the login User and the current server date respectively.

Recording usage-based schedule information for work package – An overview

This page allows you to enter the usage-based schedules for the work package. These schedules are dependent on the usage of the component and are based on the consumption parameters of the component. The schedule for the next performance of a work unit will be specified in terms of the value for the consumption parameter.

Usage-based schedules can be one-time or recurring. One time means that the schedule will be performed only once, when the corresponding parameter reaches the value specified. In the case of recurring schedule, the work unit will be performed every time the parameter crosses the interval mentioned.

Alert value or date specifies the value or date after which the corresponding work unit is considered in the component maintenance forecast. You can also specify the positive and negative tolerance, which indicate the upper and lower limits for the parameter value within which the work units are to be performed.

The system updates the usage-based schedule details and stores the name of the currently logged in user and the current server date.

What you can do in this page

Indicate work unit schedule type for parameter

Usage-based schedules can be of one-time or recurring type. In case of one time schedule, the work package will be performed only once, when the corresponding parameter reaches the value specified. In the case of recurring schedule, the work package will be performed every time the parameter crosses the interval mentioned.

Set the “Schedule Type” field as “One-Time” to indicate that the work package has to be performed only once.
Set the “Schedule Type” field as “Recurring” to indicate that the work package has to be performed in repeated intervals.
