Package psdi.app.failure Description

The Failure package includes Mbos related to Failures. A Failure Hierarchy is used to report a Failure on a workorder in the equipment or operating location. You can use Failure Hierarchy to define where things can go wrong, what is the problem, what causes this problem and how to remedy that.

Package Specification

The Mbos included in the Failure package are:

  • FailureCode -- This MboSet provides descriptions for failure codes. The failurecodes defined in this MboSet can be used in failure hierarchies.
  • FailureList -- This MboSet organizes the failure codes defined in FailureCode into failure hierarchies. The failure codes from the FailureCode table can be used in multiple failure hierarchies and even in the same hierarchy at different levels. A top-level failure list, where the parent attribute is null, defines a "Failure Class". The failure code type name of the other levels is defined by the user. As an example, in the MaxDemo database, Failure Classes are where things can go wrong - Package Line, Pumps, Boilers, etc. The first level under the Failure Class is called "Problem". Under problem there's the "Cause" level and under that is the "Remedy" level.

Other classes included in the Failure package are:

  • FailureService -- Service class for the failure package. It has related methods and definitions of criterions for failure package.

  • Main Work Order object -- Attribute FailureCode is the "Failure Class" (top level of the failure hierarchy) for the failure report related to the work order. Attribute ProblemCode failure code that indicates the malfunction. The ProblemCode is also the first level of the FailureReport (see below) related to the work order.
  • Failure Report object -- This set uses a hierarchy from FailureList to describe the failure conditions related to a work order. For example, the first level will be the problemcode - what is the problem, the second level will be the cause - what cause the problem, and the third level will be the remedy - how to fix the problem.
  • Main Equipment object -- Attribute FailureCode indicates "Failure Class" (top level of the failure hierarchy) for the failure report related to this equipment.
  • LocOper object -- Attribute FailureCode indicates "Failure Class" (top level of the failure hierarchy) for the failure report related to this operating location.
