From 22R2 onwards Event functionality capabilities enhanced.

Add date intervals per site for the Event, with status to decide how each occurrence is used.

Possible to edit date intervals.

Example:

Once the event added to PM action,

Event lines are created in the maintenance plan based on the Event settings.

Example:

Hi Shaflk.

Thanks for the quick response, but our issue is that we would like to use it unplanned, and multiple times in one period.

Example: The mashine is having issues twice a day. Then we would have to have two periods correct? Since the event can only be created once with the Event trigger, we would need it to be able to be called unlimited in one period . Is that possible?

After the first triggered event generation job we get this message:

Hi,

With new solution, for one period can have only one maintence Plan line and therefore one WO.

For the above scenario -Machine has issues twice a day...Can’t this work be handled with in one WO?

Hi Shaflk.

Sadly no. This is a typical scenario in shift-operated manufacturing industries. The first shift has an issue/issues and the second shift as well. For qulity reasons and due to legal obligations, they complete every incident on the mashine. So eevery incident is reported and completed.

And using an event is the most fastest and safest way for a mashine operator to create an emergency work order.

Thanks, we will take this into further discussions with our product managers. But with current solution then need to have separate event periods for each shift.

Thanks Shaflk.

We try to work something out. However that is a lot more complicated than the old ways .
