What are “Measurement Points”?
Measurement Points are objects which collect numerical,
time-stamped information about equipment or functional
locations.
 They may record quantitative information (temperature,
pressure, load factor, etc.) for historical records and
subsequent processing from the Business Warehouse.
 They may record counter information (odometer reading,
operating hours meter, etc.) for use in scheduling
Preventive Maintenance, based on equipment usage
rather than calendar-based scheduling
What are “Measurement Points”?
An equipment or functional location may have none, one, or
many measurement points.
 A vehicle might have a single measurement point – the
odometer
 A generator might have measurement points for
temperature and load on each of three phases.
 A boiler could have measurement points for steam outlet
temperature and pressure.
 Most equipment and functional locations will have no
measurement points.
How are the readings recorded?
A “measurement document” is created.
 This is frequently done as part of preventive maintenance.
 It may be done at any time.
 The system time stamps the document.
 If it is a counter for counter-based preventive
maintenance, it may affect the generation of the next work
order for that object.
 A number of measurement points may be recorded at one
time via a Measurement Reading Entry List.
Creating a Measurement Point
The measurement point may be created for either an
equipment or functional location.
If it is to be a counter, this is specified here.
Creating a Measurement Point
The measurement position is an arbitrary number which might help locate
the meter or gauge.
The characteristic determines the format of the number.
Creating a Measurement Point
The “Target Value” is an ideal reading for this point.
Creating a Measurement Point
Lower and upper range values may also be set for this measurement point.
The system will not allow readings which fall outside of this range.
Entering a Measurement Document
The initial screen has the measuring point number , as well as a place to
record the date, time, and person associated with this measurement.
Entering a Measurement Document
There is a space to record the reading as well as any comment.
What is a “Permit”?
A permit is an indicator on a Work Order that a special approval
is required and/or has been given.
A permit may have printed output associated with it.
A permit may (or may not) be required in order to release the
work order.
A work order may have multiple permits.
What is a “Permit”?
Some examples are:
Hot Work Permit
Confined Spaces Permit
Welding Permit
State or City required permits
How is a Permit used in an order?
The “Permits” icon (to the right of the envelope) is selected:
How is a Permit used in an order?
A list of permits is displayed. Others may be added.

How is a Permit used in an order?
The Lockout/Tagout Permit is added. The permit is issued.
How is a Permit used in an order?
Note that the ID of the issuer is inserted.
How is a Permit used in an order?
This is the order print preview. Note the Permit information.
What does this group need to determine?
Will permits be used?
If so, determine Permit Categories
Some suggestions:
Hot Work
Lockout/Tagout
Confined Spaces
