MESPAS TSM is more than a planned maintenance system. It allows you to set up any type of activity to be carried out on your vessels. These activities can be planned or ad-hoc and they are not restricted to the typical maintenance context. Every activity is related to the entire fleet, a vessel, a product type, a product or a part.
|
Planned maintenance activities are defined and set up, edited or deleted in the office and executed on the vessel only. |
Planned maintenance activities have a recurring due date based on:
• a calender time interval (e.g. 90 days after last execution).
•a running hour interval (e.g. 5000 running hours after last execution). Running hours are often referred to in a more general way as "state variables", as other units of measurement are theoretically possible.
•fix date (e.g. last day of month).
If an activity is scheduled by calendar time and running hours, the earlier of both dates is used as due date for the job. For more information about the calculation of due dates see "Due date calculation".
The system displays alerts about when to execute an activity. These alerts are controlled by time or running hour intervals.
Activities can be set up generally for the entire fleet (e.g. based on product types) and then individualized for specific vessels (based on the corresponding products).
Activities may include dealing with product parts, i.e. install, exchange or scrap them. MESPAS TSM's part management allows you to track individual parts in terms of whether they are kept on stock as spares and/or where they are or have been installed when and for how long. Thus you have access to every part's complete history, even across vessels in your fleet.
Activities may be based on how their corresponding target (i.e. the entire fleet, a vessel, a product type, a product or a part) is effectively used. This is accounted for by recording running hours. When recording running hours, MESPAS TSM assists you by enforcing plausibility rules. It also allows you to correct wrongly entered running hours in accordance with class regulations. Running hours recordings are not overwritten but the correction is logged (date, user and reason). It is possible to record running hours for any related-device separately from the running hours of the product the device is related to.
Activities may have assigned documents (e.g. service letters, manuals or work instructions issued by the OEM). These documents can be checked anytime. A complete PMS Dossier with all relevant information about a job may be printed before executing a job.
Whenever an activity is executed, there is an overhaul to be recorded and documented. This done by filling in job cards (which may be general or activity-specific) at the time of executing the activity. Further documentation (e.g. photos) can be added to the overhaul later (job history).
The execution of any activity can be rescheduled - either to an earlier point in time, until a later point in time or until the next dry docking. The Superindentent in the office can approve or reject the rescheduling.
Overhaul information can be exported in order to be analyzed further, e.g. as a spreadsheet in MS Excel.
Activity states (Idle, upcoming, rescheduled or overdue) can be monitored by the office as well as by the vessel.
Spare parts used for overhauls can be removed from stock on the vessel directly when entering the overhaul into the software. Missing parts may directly and automatically be requested for the next overhaul.
