- 2 minute read
FBM is short for Failure-Based Maintenance, which is done in response to the failure of a component. Depending on the exact cause of a failure event, the proper maintenance action is triggered and executed (repair or replacement). The properties of the FBM action determine how maintenance is to be done.
Creating an FBM action
Creating an FBM object is similar to the steps in Adding FBM actions (repair duration and costs).
|
FIELD |
DESCRIPTION |
|
Number |
A maintenance action can be numbered. When configured, the number will be listed in the tree with the description of the FBM. |
|
Description |
Users are free to enter any description for the object. The logical option is to describe the action performed when repairing or replacing the component, for instance "Repair spray head", where the component is the spray head. |
|
Maintenance time (including time unit) |
Duration of the maintenance action. |
|
Mandatory |
This field can be set to indicate that the modeled maintenance is mandatory, for instance
because of legislation. Marking it as mandatory is a signal that the maintenance should
not be changed or removed without careful consideration. This is highlighted by the
object icon |
|
Maintenance category |
Select here from Minor maintenance, Major maintenance, and Renewal. |
|
Total costs (single total or total of specified costs) |
This field has a dual function: If cost categories are not used, the user may enter a total cost value directly in the Total costs field. If costs have been specified using the individual cost category fields, then the Total costs field will automatically show the sum of these values; in this case the field will be read-only; only when all the values in the cost categories have been reset to 0, will the field Total costs become editable again. |
|
Environmental Impact |
Based on the categories configured in System Options, the impact categories appear. In the field, enter the category value to calculate the Total CO2e. To know about this option, see the topic Environmental Impact. |
|
Free fields |
When configured, the defined free fields that are relevant to the maintenance object can be filled in here. |
|
Maintenance instruction |
This is an editor field that can be used to describe specific instructions for executing the defined maintenance action. |
