Concepts Tasks Settings Defining an Asset Reliability Program An asset reliability program is a set of pre-planned work for an asset (work standards). In APM, this includes standard tasks, standard jobs, and preventive maintenance routes. You can include triggering rules that define when the work is to be done. Using APM, you can define, implement, and manage effective, proactive reliability programs. In your asset reliability programs, you can have standard jobs that are set to trigger work orders at certain times or when the system receives certain indicator readings. Most of these jobs contain preventive maintenance (PM) tasks for your assets. Using APM, you can create PM work orders from these jobs before they are actually triggered. This gives you time to plan and schedule them. You can generate future-dated work orders from time-based standard jobs. If you use different PM generation criteria regularly, you can create PM generation profiles that define the rules and filtering criteria. You can then select the appropriate profile to generate the work orders you need. You can also view standard jobs that will be triggered soon based on indicator readings and generate work orders from them. Using these features, you can create, manage, and schedule a backlog of work orders. This topic outlines the general steps for creating an asset reliability program that uses triggering rules. To see more detailed instructions, follow the link to the topic that explains that step. To Create an Asset Reliability Program that Uses Triggering Rules 1. Create standard tasks for an asset. See Creating a Standard Task from Scratch. 2. Create standard jobs and preventive maintenance routes. See Creating a Standard Job from Scratch or Creating a Preventive Maintenance Route. 3. Add standard tasks to the standard jobs or PM routes. See Adding Standard Tasks to a Standard Job or a PM Route. 4. Plan the assets and work involved in shutdown periods. Shutdowns can be included in triggering rules for standard jobs or PM routes so that, when PM work is generated, work orders are created for the shutdown. See Defining Shutdowns. 5. Create triggering rules on each standard job or PM route. See Creating Triggering Rules for a Standard Job or PM Route.
