Define Critical Work

Use this activity to create a definition for critical work. Critical work is a definition of how different combinations of the parameters work type, object criticality and work order priority should mark work orders or PM actions as critical work or not. If IFS/Maintenance Planning Board (MPB) is used, the critical work value on the work order can then be used as a parameter when scheduling work orders/PM action occurrences with maintenance planning board. When creating a line for critical work, at least one of the three parameters (work type, object criticality and work order priority) needs to be set. A check box on each line called "critical work" needs to be checked for the combination of parameters to be considered as critical work.

N/A

• The check box for critical work on work orders and PM actions will be set according to the definitions in the critical work basic data.
• If IFS/Maintenance Planning Board (MPB) is used ,when scheduling work orders and PM action occurrences in MPB the critical work check-box value can be taken into consideration when scheduling. Hence, work orders/PM actions marked as critical will be prioritized by the scheduling logic when allocating resources.
