Supply Operational Parameter Information

Explanation

This activity is used to register operational parameters per serial part and maintenance group. When you enter a new operational parameter, this parameter is automatically assigned to all serials belonging to the selected maintenance group. Likewise, when you delete an operational parameter, this parameter is automatically removed from all serials belonging to the selected maintenance group. An operational parameter for a maintenance group can be removed if the serials that are defined for the part number and maintenance group do not have operational loggings. 

All operational parameters defined for a maintenance group with associated serials can be measured with operational data. The sorting code/sequence number given for the operational parameter determines in which order the operational parameters are measured when operational log entries are given. If parameters are to be calculated, their sequence becomes important. The parameters to be calculated must have a higher sequence than the parameters on which the calculations are based.

Prerequisites

• A maintenance group must be defined for the serial part. 
• Valid operational parameters must be defined. 
• A primary operational parameter must be entered for the serial part before a new maintenance group can be entered. 
• The parameters to be calculated must be defined with a higher sequence number than the parameters on which the calculation is based.

System Effects

• You can register operational log data for all serials belonging to a registered part number and maintenance group.
• Maintenance groups defined after the operational parameters have been defined for the serial part, automatically get all defined operational parameters. 
• An operational parameter for a maintenance group cannot be removed if serials defined for the part number and maintenance group have operational loggings.
• The operational parameter sequence decides in which order the operational parameters are measured when operational log data is entered.

Procedure

Select from the following options to register/update operational parameters per serial part and maintenance group.

Option 01

1. Open the Operational Parameters per Maintenance Group window and create a new record (F5).
2. Enter a sequence number in the Sorting Code field, to identify the the order of the parameters when operational loggings are recorded. 
3. Enter values in the Part Number and Maint Group fields. Use the List of Values to select a value for the respective fields.
4. In the Operational Parameter field enter the operational parameter that is to be measured. Use the List of Values to select a value. The value in this field cannot be changed or deleted after a serial has undergone operational logging.
5. Select the Calculated check box if the operational parameter is to be calculated.
6. In the Max Value field, enter the maximum value that can be entered when measuring the operational parameter for the serial. The maximum value for each operational parameter must be updated from a default value 0 to enable operational loggings for serials defined for a serial part and a maintenance group to be performed.
7. Optionally, if you want due calculation done on the selected serial part you must enter a value in either the Historical Average Value, Planned Average Value or Manual Average Value fields, depending on the average value rule defined for the maintenance group of the serial in the Serial Part/Maint Group tab. 

• If the average value rule for the selected maintenance group is Historical Average Value or Planned Average Value, select the right mouse button option Calc Average Value to automatically enter the calculated value in this field provided, values have been entered for the serial.
• If the average value rule for the selected maintenance group is Manual Average Value, enter a value in the Manual Avg Value field.

8. Save the record. 

Option 02

1. Open the Serial Part window.
2. In the Part Number field query (F3) for the part number you want to enter an operational parameters for.
3. Click the Oper. Param. per Maint. Group tab and create a new record (F5).
4. Continue with steps 2 to 8 detailed in option 01. Note: The Part Number field does not appear in this tab as it is in the header of the Serial Part window.

The Operational Parameters per Maintenance Group window can also be viewed as a tab in the Maintenance Plan window. The Maintenance Plan/Oper. Param. per Maint Group tab is read-only. To update/enter operational parameters in this tab, select the right mouse button option Operational Parameters per Maintenance Group to open the Operational Parameters per Maintenance Group window.
