Case |
Example |
Result |
|
Extended Date – Not Entered Adjust Next Due Date – Not Applicable Interval Type – Fixed |
Interval – 10 days Initial Date – 4/11/2002 Interval Type – Fixed |
Inspection orders would be generated for 4/11/2002 and 4/21/2002. |
|
Extended Date – Not Entered Adjust Next Due Date – Not Applicable Interval Type – Actual |
Interval – 10 days Initial Date – 4/11/2002 Interval Type – Actual |
Inspection orders would be generated for 4/11/2002. Subsequent inspection orders would be generated based on the completion of the inspection order generated on 4/11/2002. |
Note: If the last inspection order were completed on 04/13/2002, then the next inspection order would be generated for 04/23/2002 (Completion Date + Interval).
If the last inspection order is not completed even after the lapse of one interval period, the next inspection order will be generated based on the last inspection order generation date.
Note: If the Interval Type is “Actual”, the next due date is computed and updated only on the completion of the last inspection order.

Note: If the previous inspection order is completed on 04/07/2002, the next inspection order will be generated for 04/17/2002 (Completion Date + Interval). If the previous inspection order was not completed within the lapse of the interval period, the next inspection order will be generated for 04/11/2002 (Initial Date +Interval).

Inspection order would be generated for 04/05/2002. Subsequent inspection orders would be generated based on the completion of the inspection order generated for 04/05/2002. |
Note: If the previous inspection order is completed on 04/07/2002, the next inspection order will be generated for 04/17/2002. If the next inspection order is not completed even after the lapse of one interval period, the next inspection order will be generated for 04/15/2002 (Extended Date + Interval).
Usage-based Interval Schedule
The manner in which the system calculates the inspection orders that are due on the equipment is explained below with the help of an example:
|
Daily run hours of equipment |
10 hours |
|
Hourly usage of the parameter |
50 km |
|
Daily usage is calculated as Daily run hours * Hourly usage of the parameter |
500 km per day |
|
Present value of the parameter as on 03/31/2002 |
5000 km |
|
Interval for inspection |
2000 km |
|
Parameter value at which inspection is first due |
6000 km |
The first inspection order will be raised at 6000 km and the date on which the inspection order is raised is calculated as follows:
(Next Due Value – Present Value)/ Daily Usage
Applying the example we get,
(6000 – 5000)/500 = 2 days
The first inspection order is raised on 03/31/2002 + 2 Days = 04/02/2002.
Subsequent inspection orders will be raised on the equipment based on the date of completion of the previous inspection order. Assuming that the inspection order raised on 04/02/2002 was completed on 04/04/2002 and the parameter value as on 04/04/2002 is 6200 km. The next due value at which inspection must be carried out is 6200 + 2000 = 8200 km. The date on which the next inspection order is raised is calculated as follows:
(8200 – 6200)/500 = 4 days.
The next inspection order will be raised on 04/04/2002 + 4 Days = 04/08/2002
|
Case |
Example |
Result |
|
Extended Value – Not Entered Adjust Next Due Value – Not Applicable |
Initial Value – 1000 kms Interval Value – 2000 kms |
Inspection orders would be generated for 1000 kms. |
|
Extended Value – Entered Adjust Next Due Value – No |
Initial Value – 1000 kms Extended Value – 1200 kms Interval Value – 2000 kms |
Inspection order would be generated for 1200 kms. |
Note: When the next inspection order generation process is run, the system checks if the previous inspection order is completed within one interval range. If it is completed at say 1600 kms, the next inspection order would be generated for 3600 kms (1600 kms + Interval). If it is not completed, the system generates the next inspection order for 3000 kms (Initial Value + Interval Value).
|
Extended Value – Entered Adjust Next Due Value – Yes |
Interval Value – 1000 kms Extended Value – 1200 kms Interval Value – 2000 kms |
Inspection order would be generated for 1200 kms. |
Note: When the next inspection order generation process is run, the system checks if the previous inspection order is completed within one interval range. If it is completed at say, 1600 kms, the system generates the next inspection order for 3600 kms (1600 kms + Interval). If it is not completed, the system generates the next inspection order for 3200 kms (Extended Value + Interval Value).
Execution option for the generation of inspection orders
The number of inspection orders that are generated for inspection depend on the option that the user has selected in the “Interval Schedules” page in the “Create Inspection Schedule” and “Edit Inspection Schedule” activities.
Calendar and Usage Schedule independently
If you have selected this option one inspection order for every schedule is generated.
Calendar or Usage Schedule whichever is earlier
If you have selected this option, only one inspection order is generated for either of the calendar-based or usage-based schedules whichever is earlier.
Calendar and whichever earlier in Usage
If you have selected this option, one inspection order for the calendar-based schedule and one inspection order for the earliest of the usage-based schedules are generated.
Calendar-based fixed schedules
In this schedule one inspection order is generated for every date that is mentioned in the fixed schedule. For example, if you have specified the dates on which inspection must be carried out as 04/01/2002, 04/13/2002, 04/22/2002 and 04/30/2002, four inspection orders will be raised for all the specified dates.
Usage-based fixed schedule
In this schedule one inspection order is generated for every parameter value that is specified. For example, if you have specified the values at which inspection must be carried out as 2000 km, 5000 km, 7000 km, three inspection orders will be raised when the parameter reaches the three values.
Off-Season Inspection
Inspection orders are not generated for the period that is defined as the Off-Season. 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 inspection schedule is defined from July 10 2001 to September 9 2001, then inspection schedule would not generate the inspection order between July 10 2001 and September 9 2001. Off-Season can be defined as from April 1 to May 31also as annual recurring, then the inspection schedule would not generate the inspection order between April 1 and May 31 every year.
Inspection Order generation option
If you have set the option “Combine Inspection Orders for the same Group” in the “Set Options” activity, the system combines the inspection jobs that must be performed by a single work group into a single inspection order.
Generating inspection orders – An overview
|
|
You can select an inspection schedule for which inspection orders must be generated by carrying out a search based on the following fields:
The inspection schedule and its description
The type, priority and category of the inspection schedule
The equipment or location on which inspection must be carried out
The work group that is responsible for carrying out the inspection
The location of the equipment on which inspection must be done
The inspection schedule template based on which the inspection schedule is raised
Based on the filter criteria entered, the system retrieves the details of the inspection schedules that are in the “Active” status for the purpose of generating inspection orders. You can specify the date till which inspection orders must be generated. The system generates inspection orders for carrying out inspection till the date that is specified.
