CMMS Condition Monitoring Specification

Question 1

Name the six sections in the condition monitoring screen.

Answer 1

Point - Rounds/reading
Upper Limits (Gauge Meters)
Lower Limits (Gauge Meters)
Characteristic Action Values (Characteristic meters)
Measurements
History

Question 2

Define Meter

Answer 2

Generic descriptor defining the type of parameter or condition of the asset

Question 3

Define Point

Answer 3

– Specific measurement record associated to an asset defining a particular condition.

Question 4

Define Round

Answer 4

A group of points performed in a sequence

Question 5

Define Reading

Answer 5

Specific value or condition logged to a point

Question 6

Define Gauge

Answer 6

Numeric value used to log an asset parameter

Question 7

Define Characteristic

Answer 7

Descriptive value use to describe a condition of an asset.

Question 8

What is condition monitoring used for?

Answer 8

To define measurement points for assets and to specify warning and action limits and associated Job Plan to be performed when reaching or exceeding action limits.

Question 9

What is a measurement point?

Answer 9

A measurement point record defines limits of acceptable reading for a characteristic or gauge-type meter on an asset or location.

Maximo will automatically generate user-designated work order type with the associated Job Plans for assets or locations whose meter readings are outside action limits.

Question 10

Who assigns the point number?

Answer 10

An auto-numbered field. Maximo assigns the next available record number.

Question 11

What should be included in the Point Description?

Answer 11

Observation or action: Typically in the form of a question

EXAMPLE: Are leaks present? Vibration analysis taken?

Question 12

What should the meter name begin with if it’s being tracked by the EHS department?

Answer 12

EHS Code: Any point that is to be tracked by EHS department shall have the following codes for different systems. These codes are the data points the Maximo EHS reports use to query environmental readings data.

EHS-SW: ALL ROUNDS AND READINGS RELATED TO STORM WATER

Question 13

Can rounds be created against locations instead of assets?

Answer 13

No

Question 14

Does an asset have to exist in the asset table to be added to a round point?

Answer 14

Yes

Question 15

Will a measurement point generate against an asset in Decommission or inactive status?

Answer 15

NO: Asset must be in operating status.

Question 16

What meter types can be used against a measurement point?

Answer 16

Characteristic and Guage

Characteristic - describe conditions
Gauge: Direct the user to populate numeric data. Which is compared to the action limits.

Question 17

Give an example of a gauge meter?

Answer 17

Gauge meters: Fuel Level, temperature, pressure, noise level, or oil level

Question 18

Give an example of a Characteristics meter?

Answer 18

Observational in nature and have a list of possible values; OK/NOT OK

Question 19

The round name should mirror what number?

Answer 19

The PM record number

Question 20

What defines the order a round must be performed?

Answer 20

Sequence: This defines the order in which the round point id performed. The sequence numbers for any round should be in increments of 10.

Question 21

What do upper warning limits tell us and which meter type is it necessary to have an upper warning limit?

Answer 21

The Upper limit of normal measurements. Measurements at or above this level alert the user to monitor this point carefully. This value is a warning and should always be lower than the upper action limit. If the meter type is gauge then this field is mandatory. If the meter type is characteristic then the field is read-only.

Question 22

Measurements at or above the designated numerical value are referred to as?

Answer 22

Upper limits of warning level measurements. Measurements at or above this level indicate corrective or preventive action is needed.

Question 23

What field is used to indicate if the value is met a PM work order will automatically be generated?

Answer 23

Upper Limit PM: This is where the PM record is referenced if the engineer desires a PM work order to be automatically generated when the Upper Action Limit is met or exceeded.

Question 24

Can we reference a job plan for a CM work order to be generated if an upper limit is met and if so where?

Answer 24

Yes - Upper Limit Job Plan: This is where a job plan is referenced if the engineer desires a CM work order to be automatically generated with specific job plans when the upper action limit is met or exceeded.

Question 25

If a system engineer wants a CM work order to generate for a characteristic meter where would that be indicated?

Answer 25

Characteristics Action Values Section = This is where corrective or preventive follow up work is defined for Characteristic meter points

Question 26

What information will the measurement section tell us?

Answer 26

Measurement Date: The calendar date and time the round was entered.
Measurement: The numeric value if the round point meter type domain is Gauge point
Observation: The value if the round point meter type domain is Characteristic
Tech Comments: Any Comments captured by the user performing the round
Technician: Labor ID of End User entering the point reading.

Question 27

Within a condition monitoring point, where can we find all the work order that exceed a gauge action?

Answer 27

The history section displays all work orders generated from a measurement that either exceeded a gauge action or a defined characteristic action value.

Question 28

What is the process for removing a round?

Answer 28

Remove a round point : the process to remove a point that is no longer needed is to delete all associated sequence numbers from sequence 1 through 3 feilds and values from round 1 through 3 feilds

Question 29

What is a reading?

Answer 29

Specific value or condition logged to a point
