Specify Tools and Facilities for Instruction and Subtask

Explanation

This activity is used to specify the tools and facilities that will be utilized per instruction or subtask.

For each instruction or subtask, you must enter the tools and facilities that you anticipate will be used during the operation. A tool can, for instance, be an x-ray machine to discover cracks on the vehicle body. An example of a facility would be a hangar required to perform the maintenance. Tools and facilities can be defined for both the instruction and connected subtasks. An exception is that the same tool/facility ID cannot be reserved for both the instruction and a connected subtask.

The tools and facilities specified for an instruction or subtask are not connected to a site because at this point you may not know which workshop will perform each operation. You will connect the tools and facilities to a site when they are actually used for a maintenance task.

Prerequisites

An instruction or subtask must be defined for the part revision.
Basic data for tools and facilities must be defined.

System Effects

The planned tools and facilities for an instruction or subtask is defined.
When pending maintenance tasks are distributed to work orders, the planned tools and facilities for that specific task will also be copied and connected to the work order.
