Dear All,
I was working with Work Orders, Permits and Isolation orders. The whole idea was to create Work Task Templates and Pm actions involving Permits and Isolation orders so that 1 Work Order would suffice.
I want to create 1 Work Order where 2 Work Tasks need to be done (with a dependency Start after Finish).
- The 1st Work Task involves welding so the machine has to be 100% electrically isolated - and will be performed by a Welder.
- The 2nd Work Task is a calibaration mode, so the machine must have power, but still be isolated from the normal production. Conveyor belts (that are powered separately) are not allowed to be running. So different kind of permit
The thing is, apparently to be able to start the 1st Work Task, both permits need to be released. Despite the fact that the Work Task are 2 completely separate things that are performed after each other, by different people, maybe even with a day in between due to scheduling conflicts.
So this does not seem to making sense to me.
In theory off course it could be solved by 2 different Work Orders, but the customer does not want this. The 2 tasks are connected and it should always be clear that they are part of the same job cycle. He would not like to have different Work Orders for this. He wants 1 Work Task template with 2 Work Tasks and 2 permits, one for each Work Task and the permit should only be applicable when the connected Work Task starts. The other Work Task should not be influenced by the permit of the 2nd Work Task.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Best Regards
