Set Primary Operational Parameter

Explanation

This activity is used to define an operational parameter as the primary operational parameter for a serial part. There can only be one primary operational parameter per serial part.

If maintenance groups are not defined for the serial part or if maintenance groups are defined but serials with operational loggings do not exist for these maintenance groups, it is possible to change the primary operational parameter of the serial part.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, operational parameters must be defined for the serial part.

System Effects

• The primary operational parameter is set for the serial part.

• This primary operational parameter is the same for all maintenance groups of the serial part.

• The primary operational parameter is used for calculating interval based maintenance tasks.  

• If maintenance plans are registered for other operational parameters in addition to the primary operational parameter, the task calculation considers all the operational parameters and calculates which operational parameter that is due first. When several operational parameters have a maintenance plan, any of the operational parameters, and not just the one defined as primary, can be the triggering operational parameter for the interval based maintenance.

• If any of the other operational parameters have a maintenance plan, the primary operational parameter is not required to have a maintenance plan.

• When registering a fault, the value after overhaul and the total value are logged for the primary operational parameter at the time that the fault occurred.

Procedure

1. Open the Serial Part window.
2. Populate (F2) or query (F3) for the serial part for which you will register or change the primary operational parameter.
3. Click the Operational Parameters tab.
4. To define a primary operational parameter for the serial part, create a new record (F5) and enter the required operational parameter by using the List of Values in the Operational Parameter field. Next, select the Primary Operational Parameter check box and save the record (F12).
5. To change the primary operational parameter for the serial part, select the operational parameter you want to set as the new primary parameter, right-click and then click Set as Primary Parameter. Save the information (F12).

Note: You can also enter or change the primary operational parameter for a part in the Operational Parameters per Part window.
