Downtime by Period Report (extended summary)

The "Downtime by Period (ext. summary)" report shows the downtime of a system in a graph. When multiple parts are available in a system, the downtime is broken down by part. For each part a chart is plotted in which the simulation period is shown against downtime. This report also shows the totals for each part to see the availability rate, the number of maintenance actions and downtime.
In addition, this overview shows the various components of downtime (response time, repair time and buffer time). Also, when maintenance actions consume spare parts which are not marked as "in stock", the supply time of these spare parts is used in the calculation.
To print this simulation report, follow the steps below:
-
Open the module
Simulation -
Select a simulation on the left
-
Right click the model on the right
-
In the context menu, select the desired report:

A report similar to the one below will appear after some time:

Report Downtime per Period - Ext. Summary
Remark.: If an object is selected on a level which is too low, the report function will not be available (greyed out)
On the consecutive pages you find maintenance actions by period that caused downtime in that specific period. Included is the following data, described below.

|
FIELD |
DESCRIPTION |
|
Quantity |
Number of occurrences of failure |
|
Duration |
Duration of failure |
|
Response time |
As configured in the Failure cause |
|
Buffer time |
As configured in the upper part |
|
Maintenance |
As configured in the Maintenance action (Since the Maintenance time can be set by means of a distribution, the logged time of the simulation will be recalculated based on constituent downtime factors). |
|
Delivery time |
The delivery time is retrieved from the Maintenance Action (as supplied at time of creation of Maintenance Action), or through a to the Maintenance Action coupled spare object. Please note for the calculations above: When the effect of the maintenance action is set to "repair", and there is a job loss rate of less than 100% completed, the presented downtime for all components is proportionately adjusted. |
