Managing operator tasks
You use operator tasks to manage routine maintenance activities that are assigned to personnel by planning engineers. A typical operator task might be to test a standby diesel generator. The generator is controlled by operations personnel, but its test frequency is determined by maintenance personnel.
Operator tasks that are created in the Work Order Tracking application display as task records in the Operator Tasks application. Operator tasks that are created in the Incidents and Investigations applications display as activities.
You can do the following tasks in the Operator Tasks application:
- Assign ownership to operator tasks.
- Change the status of operator tasks.
- Update operator tasks.
- Review related preventive maintenance and scheduling information.
- Classify operator tasks.
- Review or assign the permit or certificate type, the area authority, the issuing authority, or the performing authority for the permit or certificate type that is associated with the corresponding task.
- Review and update job tasks and the labor, material, services, and tool requirements for work plans.
- Review and update tickets and work orders that are related to operator tasks.
- Review and update communications and work log entries.
- Review the permits to work that are related to an operator task to ensure that the essential permits are included.
If an operator task requires follow-up tickets or work orders,
you can generate the following types of records from this application:
- Change
- Communication
- Incident
- Problem
- Release
- Service request
- Work order
