This activity allows you to select calibration schedules and view the dates on which calibration orders are due during a specified period. Tell me more.
Select the “Generate Calibration Forecast” link from the left pane.
The “Generate Calibration Forecast” page appears.
Enter the following fields in the “Forecast Criteria” group box:
|
Calib. Sch. No. |
The calibration schedule number for which the due dates must be viewed (Alphanumeric, 18). You can enter the calibration schedule number in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all calibration schedules with numbers similar to the number entered here. |
|
Desc. |
The description of the calibration schedule (Alphanumeric, 150). You can enter the description in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all calibration schedules whose descriptions are similar to the description entered here. |
|
Calib. Type |
Use the drop-down list box to specify the type of the calibration for which you wish to retrieve the details. The system fills in all calibration types that have been defined in the “Define Calibration Types” activity and h are in the “Active” and “Inactive” statuses. Leave the field blank to retrieve calibration schedules irrespective of the type. The system leaves the field blank, by default. |
|
Eqp. |
The equipment for which calibration must be done (Alphanumeric, 30). You can enter the code in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all calibration schedules that have been raised on equipment similar to the equipment entered here. |
|
Work Group |
The work group that is responsible for carrying out the calibration (Alphanumeric, 30). You can enter the work group in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all calibration schedules, which must be carried out by, work groups similar to the work group entered here. |
|
Location |
The location of the equipment for which calibration must be done (Alphanumeric, 30). You can enter the location in full or specify it partially. The system retrieves all calibration schedules that can be carried out on equipment whose locations are similar to the location entered here. |
|
Task/Proc. |
Use the drop-down list box to specify the task or procedure, which must be performed as a part of the calibration. The system provides the options: “Task” or “SP”. Leave the field blank to retrieve calibration schedules on which tasks and procedures must be performed. The system displays “SP”, by default. |

|
Desc. |
The description of the calibration. |
|
Next Due Date |
The date on which the calibration is next due on the equipment. |
Refer to the “Working of the system” section if you wish to know more details about how the due dates are calculated for the calibration schedules.
Enter the following field:
|
Forecast Review No. |
A unique identifier of the forecast that must be saved for future reference (Alphanumeric, 18). Data entry in this field is mandatory if you wish to save the details of the forecast that is done. |
|
Enter the description of the forecast alongside (Alphanumeric, 150). | |
|
Zoom facility available |
The system displays the following field:
|
Forecast Review Date |
The date on which the forecast is done. The system displays the current system date in this field. |
Click the “Save Forecast” pushbutton to save the details of the forecast that is done.
This section explains with the help of an example the mode of calculation of the due dates of the calibration schedules.
Assumption: The current date is 03/31/2002 and forecast period is from 04/01/2002 to 04/30/2002.

Calendar-based fixed schedule
In this schedule one calibration order is generated for every date that is mentioned in the fixed schedule. For example, if you have specified the dates on which calibration must be carried out as 04/01/2002, 04/13/2002, 04/22/2002 and 04/30/2002 the next due dates for calibration order will be 04/01/2002, 04/13/2002, 04/22/2002 and 04/30/2002.
Usage-based fixed schedule
In this schedule one calibration order is generated for every parameter value that is specified. For example, if you have specified the values at which calibration must be carried out as 2000 km, 5000 km and 7000 km, three calibration orders are due when the parameter reaches the three values.
Off-Seasonal
Calibration orders are not generated for the period that is defined as the Off-Seasonal. A period can be a date range or a range of specific days of a month, which will be recurring in nature. For example, if off-season for a calibration is defined from July 10 2001 to September 9 2001, then the calibration schedule would not generate the calibration order between July 10 2001 and September 9 2001. Off-Season can be defined as from April 1 to t May 31 and as annual recurring, then calibration schedule would not generate the calibration order between April 1and May 31every year.
