Indicators

Automatically calculated from Work Orders

The following Indicators are automatically calculated based on the statuses within linked Work Orders. If the Event has no linked Work Order, the period during which the Event remained Uncorrected will be considered for the Indicators' calculation.

Downtime

By clicking on “Edit,” you can define the statuses that represent your equipment's Downtime. In the example below, “In Progress” and “On Hold” indicate that the Asset is unavailable. Remember that this definition impacts the calculation of your Indicators.

Effective Repair Time

If there are no activity logs of executed tasks, you can define here which Work Order statuses will compose the Effective Repair Time data. Remember that the Effective Repair Time starts when Time to Action ends.

Consider in MTTR

Here, you will select which metric—Effective Repair Time or Time to Repair or Restoration—you want to be considered in the MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) calculation.

  • Effective Repair Time: considers the time during which technicians worked on the equipment’s maintenance.

  • Time til Repair/Restoration: considers the complete Event time, from failure identification to the conclusion of the corrective action.

Considered Events

By clicking on “Edit,” you will select the Event Types to be considered in your indicator calculations.

  • Potential Failure: indicates that a failure occurred but did not affect the asset’s performance or impede processes;

  • Functional Failure: indicates that a failure occurred, impacting the asset’s performance but not preventing processes from continuing normally;

  • Total Failure: indicates that the failure impacted both performance and process, rendering the asset inoperable;

  • Unplanned Stop: equipment operation was interrupted by an unexpected occurrence;

  • Planned Stop: equipment operation was interrupted by a decision previously made by the team;

  • Power Outage: the asset’s operation was interrupted by an unexpected lack of power;

  • Power Restoration: power was restored, and the operation continued normally.

Inspections

Inspections allow you to verify the integrity of your equipment, thereby ensuring the quality of your processes. To enable inspection creation, simply activate it using the toggle next to it.

Failures

In the Failures section, there are three possibilities:

  1. Manage Failures;

  2. Enable or disable "Multiple Failures Identified";

  3. Enable or disable the "Required for corrective measures".

Manage Failures

Here, you will see a table with 5 columns: Failure, Equipment Type, Components, Created by and Actions.

Standard Failure

The default failures are pre-set by TRACTIAN. You cannot delete them, but you can disable them via the selector in the "Actions" column. Once disabled, these failures will still appear in the table.

Important note: deactivating a standard failure will not affect any Work Orders, Requests or Insights associated with it, but it will be displayed as deactivated. In the selection list, it will be removed, so it cannot be selected in new Work Orders, Requests and Insights.

Custom Failure

Adding a custom failure

Custom faults are those that you have added yourself. When you click on the "Add" button, a new row appears in the table to create a new failure, with a limit of 100 characters. By default, all types of equipment and components are selected for this fault. You can remove certain types and components to customize the failure.

Deleting a custom failure

Custom faults can be deleted by clicking on the trash can in the "Actions" column. Once deleted, they will not appear in the list of Identified Failures.

Important note: before deleting a failure, make sure that it is not associated with any Work Order, Request or Insight. If there is a link, you must remove it, otherwise you won't be able to delete the failure.

Failures deleted in Requests already approved or rejected will be displayed as deleted, although you will still be able to see their details.
