Execute a job

 Top  Previous  Next

Executing jobs involves filling in PDF Job Cards to document the job execution. This is done in an integrated Java based PDF viewer.

1.Open Jobs to do or Job overview and load a list of records as per your selection.

2.If you want to have a look at the job card for this job without actually executing the job (e.g. in order to print the job card), select the job an click "Show job card".

3.Select an activity and click "Execute activity" or a colored button within the list in column "Activity".

4.Enter overhaul date and - if applicable - total running hours at the overhaul date. ball_A_t
 

warning

If entering running hours for a product or part, then these newly entered running hours are automatically accounted for installed parts and products respectively as well.

5.If the job has to be executed for any reason but not because it is due, you may tick "Unplanned job".

6.Click "OK". This will open the MESPAS PDF Reader displaying the corresponding job card for this activity.

7.Fill in maintenance card. Blue fields are mandatory. ball_B_t
 

8.Now you have 2 options:

Click "Temporary Save"

ball_C_m

or

click "Final Save"

ball_D_t

•Form data is saved and can be edited again, but the job is not completed.

•SLO remains unchanged.

 

•Form data is saved and CANNOT be edited anymore, job is completed.

 

9.Close MESPAS PDF Reader.
 

10.Depending on the date and running hours you entered, a new due date will be calculated and the job will change its color as follows:
 
If the latest execution + Interval (interval between activities in Years, Months, Days or Running hours) is earlier than today (actual date), the job stays red.
 
If the latest execution + Interval is later than today but within the alarm value, the job becomes yellow.
 
If the latest execution + Interval is later than today and outside the alarm value, the job becomes green.
 
Here's a formal presentation:
 
if (last Execution + Interval) < (today) → job stays red
 
if (last Execution + Interval) > (today + Alarm Value) → job green
 
if (last Execution + Interval) > (today) > (last Execution + Interval - Alarm Value) → job yellow

 

Best Practice

Before executing a maintenance activity print a dossier ball_E_t that gives you all relevant information about the job and take it with you.
