Defining equipment inspection aspects

Associate aspects with equipment or categories. For example, specify a category of vans or a particular van, and then associate it with the inspection aspect of measuring tire tread.

To define equipment inspection aspects:

  1. Select Work > Inspections > Monitored Data.
  2. Select the equipment, equipment class, or equipment category for which to enter inspection aspect information, and then click the Aspects tab.
  3. Click Add Aspect. Origin is automatically populated.
  4. Specify this information:
    Aspect
    Specify the inspection aspect with which to associate the monitored data object.
    Method
    Specify the inspection method for the aspect as necessary.
    Nominal Value
    Specify the starting value or normal value and unit of measure for measurements on this aspect. For example, if a new pipe’s wall thickness is 3 mm, the nominal value is 3 and the unit of measure is mm.
    Min. Extreme
    Specify the minimum extreme value beyond the operating specifications for the aspect.
    Min. Critical
    Specify the lowest possible value for the aspect.
    Min. Tolerance
    Specify the minimum percentage of critical value for the aspect.
    Min. Std. WO
    Specify a standard work order to restore normal operating conditions when the minimum critical value is reached.
    Min. PM
    Specify a preventive maintenance work order to restore normal operating conditions when the minimum critical value is reached.
    Max. Extreme
    Specify the maximum extreme value beyond the operating specifications for the aspect.
    Max. Critical
    Specify the highest possible value for the aspect.
    Max. Tolerance
    Specify the maximum percentage of critical value for the aspect.
    Max. Std. WO
    Specify a standard work order to restore normal operating conditions when the maximum critical value is reached.
    Max. PM
    Specify a preventive maintenance work order to restore normal operating conditions when the maximum critical value is reached.
  5. Click Submit.
    Note: You cannot remove aspect records that are indirectly associated with the monitored data object.
