This course covers the functionality for managing equipment assets. All equipment that will need to be maintained should be entered as equipment objects in IFS/Equipment. Departments, locations, systems, functions and groups of object can also be entered as equipment objects. The wide definition of an object allows you to describe your facility in both geographical/physical and functional terms.
Equipment objects in a facility can be of two different types, functional or serial. A functional equipment object is often viewed as a location or a function. Once a functional object has been created, it should not be moved to another place in the facility. Objects that must be mobile within the facility, for example an electrical motor, should be established as serial objects. Serial objects can be moved between different locations within the facility, and can also be moved into inventory.
To all types of object you can connect technical data, documents and drawings and spare part information.
The estimated time to complete this course is 6h 30 min.
This course was designed primarily for application consultants in Maintenance or employees working with handling equipment objects.
This chapter covers the following functionality: creating functional objects and connecting them to structures, basic principles of creating object structures, handling functional objects and object structures, and using the object status.
