Associating inspection points with work orders

Associate inspection points with a particular work order. Use this feature only when the work order has a system status of Released or Completed and when the inspection route has a status of Unfinished. Finally, enter the results of the inspection into the system after the employee performs the inspection.

To associate inspection points with work orders:

  1. Select Work > Work Orders.
  2. Select the work order with which to associate inspection points, and then click the Inspections tab.
  3. Click Add Point.
  4. Specify this Point Details information:
    Point
    Specify the point to associate with the work order. The system automatically populates Equipment, equipment description, Equipment Type, Equipment Org., point description, Point Type, Aspect, Method, and the Value unit of measure.
    Sequence Number
    Specify the sequence number of the inspection point.
    Method
    Specify the inspection method.
    Comments

    Note: The system automatically selects New WO Required if Value exceeds the upper or lower critical value specified for the aspect point.
  5. Specify this Result Details information:
    Date
    Specify the date of the inspection.
    Result
    Specify the reliability code for the inspection (this code is also used in regression analysis). Choose one of the following options:
    • The measurement is acceptable
      Select Valid.
    • The measurement is wrong
      Select Invalid.
    • The inspection point has been changed so drastically that all previous inspection results for this point must be deactivated
      Select Discontinuity.
    Note:  If you are entering result details for the work order, you must enter both Date and Result.

  7. If necessary, click Create New WO to generate the work order immediately. However, if the system status of the route is Approved, you cannot create a new work order.

The system creates a new work order based on the details of the work order inspection point and inserts the work order number for Work Order.
    Note: If you do not create a new work order by clicking Create New WO, the system automatically creates a work order after the inspection results are approved.
