TABLE OF CONTENTS Practically, workers manage many tasks on a single equipment work order. Planners organize equipment work into coherent, organized packages to facilitate craft's work. In evaluating prepared packages, well-developed WOs perform many different equipment failure mode PM tasks at one time. Multiple-task performance on a WO job establishes the utility of workscope ( see Fig. 6-1).
The term workscope is borrowed from project management terminology that describes the scope of work in a project activity or an activity schedule. Scope is the scheduled activity's details specifically broken out specific for cost, completion criteria, and resources. A workscope assembles PM tasks for concurrent performance. Organizing tasks into workscopes eases implementation. Tasks consolidated into workscopes for work orders present fewer station work-order system demands ( see Fig. 6-2).
Many plants assign senior personnel familiar with work practices to develop (or block) PM tasks into organized, easy-to-implement workscope packages. Performing groups of PM tasks more or less at the same time conserves resources and improves maintenance operating efficiency. One tagout boundary, WO, and scope define the WO like a complete project.
Planners organize maintenance work into efficient, performable packages. Workscopes allow planners to develop scoped work packages, based upon engineering-analyzed equipment failures. Engineers evaluate likely failures (dominant failure modes) and develop their mitigation strategy as part of the PM development process. This action defines work establishing scope. Planners determine how best to...
