Use this activity to enter a code for the operational status. The operational status indicates in what position the equipment or linear asset object has to be while the preventive maintenance task is being performed. Examples of operational statuses are 'Full operation', ''Reduced speed' and 'Total shutdown'.
An operational status is either 'Obstructive' or 'Non Obstructive'. Obstructive means that the object will not be available for production while the maintenance work is being carried out.
If an equipment object (on which obstructive work orders are planned) is also defined as a work center in IFS Manufacturing, obstructive work orders will appear as resource load on the work center, since no shop orders can be executed while the maintenance work is being done.
Before information on the operational status is entered, the following must have been completed:
As a result of this activity, the operational status code can be used throughout IFS/Preventive and Corrective Maintenance.
