Verify Resource Availability

Explanation

This activity is used to verify the resource availability for the defined work scope. Resource demands specified on the events included on a maintenance order will be transferred to the corresponding work tasks when distributing the maintenance order to IFS/Work Order Management. You can then verify resource availability and allocate the resources (i.e., person or tool/eqipment) required to execute the work task.

This activity describes the procedure for manually allocating resources. It is also possible to allocate resources and monitor resource availability via the Allocate Resource page and the Resource Monitoring Gantt page. For more information on the allocation and monitoring process, refer the help file Resource Allocation and Monitoring.

To manually allocate a resource to the work tasks planned on a work order,

• Use the Allocations on Demands on Assign Work assistant from Work Task or Prepare Work Order page.

For  instances where additional resources are required to execute the work,

• Use Direct Allocation on Assign Work assistant to directly allocate a person, tool or equipment to the work task without specifying a resource demand line.

Note: For maintenance orders distributed as simplified work orders, the verification of resource availability will be a manual process. This information is registered in the system when finishing the relevant maintenance event.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, a maintenance order must have been distributed to IFS/Work Order Management.

System Effects

• The resource availability for the defined work scope can be verified for maintenance orders that are distributed and followed up in IFS/Work Order Management.
• A work assignment will be created for the resource and the work task will be considered as allocated. The work assignment will be set to the Assigned status.
