Registering Asset Downtime is about creating downtimes in EAM that appear as scheduled downtime in Manufacturing. The purpose is to get better organization of Manufacturing and Maintenance.
The high-level concept is to create an empty Production Order that will be visible for manufacturing team to inform Manufacturing that Maintenance needs a service window ("don't plan any production on these dates", "consider changing Production Orders in this period"). Downtime functions as a kind of connector between Manufacturing and EAM. Maintenance can now organize maintenance jobs that are connected to Production Orders.
The common flow begins on an Asset or Work Order in EAM where Asset Downtime is created. The Asset Downtime will now trigger a Production Order in Manufacturing to reserve a service window ("Production on-hold"). The scheduled service window can only be reschedule from EAM / Asset Downtime.
Register downtime FROM the manufacturing module is not supported.
You have already set up some parameters in Asset Management Setup.
Performing maintenance often requires coordination with Production.
EAM can create a Production Order that blocks a timeslot on the Work or Machine Center.
The Manufacturing module for Dynaway EAM allows tighter integration between the maintenance and production functions and processes.
Creating downtime for an asset allows the Asset Manager to track the availability of the Work Center and Machine Center. The manufacturing planner will be notified that the machine is down and can use this as a service window to perform awaiting work orders during the downtime period.
On the maintenance side, it is possible to book an asset for maintenance - and on the manufacturing side, the production planner and operators are informed about the scheduled maintenance work.
Asset Downtime puts Work Center or Machine Center in Out Of Service
Put production on-hold
Downtime can be used to put production on-hold.
Downtime Entries list
