• Description
  Description:

  The current Utilization functionality available in the MU module is not sufficient to permit recording engine hours against boat assets. The current functionality only permits recording a single metered history for an asset, and only allows consecutively higher readings for each recording instance. This limitation does not permit NSW users to record engine meter readings for boats that have two engines, or to record a lower meter reading or "reset" the record when boat engines are replaced on an asset.

   

  Recommended:

  Maintain the current Utilization functionality within the MU work order/Utilization tab to record craft hull hours, but add the ability to assign engines to craft by engine serial number (or pull the components from PA if they are associated with the asset's record as serialized components) and to record engine hour meter readings in a work order for each assigned engine. Add this functionality similar to the way the Sub Work Order/Labor tab records labor hours for specific technicians (select engine by serial number from drop-down, enter current hour meter reading, click "Save", adds record as a row with current meter reading or updates existing record for a specified engine to current meter reading). When engines are replaced, record of previous engines that have been removed should remain associated with the parent asset's history, and a new engine should be added as a new row.

   

  Mission Critical:

  Yes. In order to record all required data elements of maritime asset maintenance and repair actions, MU work orders need to have the ability to record engine hours for each assigned engine in order to associate maintenance events appropriately to engine and craft age/run time.

   

  Benefits:

  The proposed solution would improve the accuracy and completeness of maintenance data elements that are collected for NSW maritime assets using the MU work order process.

   

  Users:

  This problem affects all current NSW DPAS MU users.
