The work is typically one of the following tasks: • Inspection task for collecting readings for condition-based or failure-finding indicators with similar search criteria (for example, trade, frequency, or operating condition) • Corrective task to identify the work required to restore an asset’s alarm condition to a normal state. These tasks are candidates when users acknowledge alarms • Scheduled restoration or discard task to repair, replacement, or clean an asset at a defined frequency When the work needs to be performed, a work order task is generated from the standard task. The standard task contains all of the information required to create a work order task. This includes the asset to work on, the resources required to perform the task, the manually collected indicators to be read, and the procedures and documents appropriate to the performance of the task. In some situations, for example, when AssetWise Enterprise Interoperability (AWEIS) is being used to exchange data with a CMMS, checksheets and mobile activities can be generated from standard tasks on a regular basis, without the need for work orders. This is useful in integrated environments where it is not convenient to generate work orders in the CMMS. A standard task can be based on a task template or created from scratch. When based on a task template, the bulk of the task’s definition originates from the task template. Changes to its task template are applied to the standard task. This provides an easy method of maintaining common task definitions across similar assets. Standard tasks are independent of each other, and each standard task can be included on one or more standard jobs. The topics in this section explain how to create standard tasks.
