Tool Serials Submenus

You can find tool data in the Tool Serials submenu. Each serialized tool has the following submenu options:

A read-only version of the information you entered when you created the serialized tool.

The PM templates on which this serialized tool is entered.

Tool History provides movement tracking for a specific tool serial number. This view includes all serialized tools for this tool number. When tools are issued to WOs, entered on a CM WO for repair or rebuild, or relocated to another site or location within a site, the To Location and Location Status are updated for the start date and time and the previous From Location and Location Status are updated for the end date and time. EAM also captures the user who moved the serialized tool.

The Work Orders submenu displays the CM and PM WOs on which the serialized tool is entered.

The Tool Readings submenu supports two driving unit of measure (DUOM) types:

Enter calibration readings and view a list of all the readings that have been recorded for a tool. This submenu allows you to:

• Use the Update Tolerance action to set the number and frequency limits for out of tolerance (OOT) readings.

• Optionally select to automatically create CM work orders when readings cause an OOT condition.

• Meter. The tool’s reading is a number of cycles, such as time, miles, or revolutions. The capabilities of the Meter DUOM type include:

• Meter Rollover. Use the meter rollover when entering a meter reading that is less than the previous current reading. If your entry indicates that the meter has rolled over, the system automatically calculates the correct usage based on the upper and lower limits.

• Meter Replacement. Use the Replace action to replace a meter. A new lower and upper limit can be entered as well as a new current reading. When this function is used, no new usage is calculated.

Note: Before the meter is replaced, enter the last reading on the broken meter; otherwise, the last units used are not recorded.

Displays the DUOM for the tool. DUOMs are set up in Maintenance|Codes|DUOM and can be used across the system.

Displays the lower limit for the calibration reading.

Displays the upper limit for the calibration reading.

Defaults to today’s date for the first reading. The field displays the same date for subsequent readings entered, unless you change it.

Used to enter the current calibration reading.

Displays the number of readings that have exceeded the high limit.

Displays the number of readings that have exceeded the low limit.

The lower browse displays the history of DUOM readings entered for the tool.

Displays the DUOM reading number that was entered.

Displays the number of cycles since the last reading was entered. For monitor DUOM types, this field displays 0.

This check box indicates if a meter was replaced.

The system updates this check box, which indicates if there is an OOT condition based on the calibration readings entered. If the check box is clear, the readings have not exceeded the Max or Min Occurrences measured by the Actual High or Low readings recorded. If the check box is selected, an OOT condition exists where the number of readings exceeded the Max or Min Occurrences measured by the Actual High or Low readings recorded.

Displays if the OOT reading exceeded the Actual High or Low.

If the Create CM? setting is activated, this field displays the CM work order that is created automatically when the OOT reading was entered. To activate the Create CM? setting, see Automate CM for OOT Readings.

To set the max high and low occurrences for OOT readings, select Update Tolerances from the Readings Action menu. Enter the necessary information in the Max Low and Max High Occurrences fields. Click OK to save.

Set the number of times that an out of tolerance (OOT) low reading can occur before the system triggers a corrective action. Specify the frequency (days, hours, or minutes) that makes the reading OOT.

Set the number of times that an OOT high reading can occur before the system triggers a corrective action. Specify the frequency (days, hours, or minutes) that makes the reading OOT.

When the OOT readings exceed the Max High or Low Occurrences, EAM can automatically send an alert e-mail. By default, the e-mail is sent to the notify user or group identified on the tool record. In the Notify field next to the Send e-mail? check box, you can use the lookup to select another user or group to receive the e-mail alert.

To set the e-mail alert, select Update Tolerances from the Readings Action menu and select the Send e-mail? check box. Select the user or group to receive the e-mail using the lookup to the right of the Notify check box. Click OK to save.

When the OOT readings exceed the Max High or Low Occurrences, EAM can automatically create a CM Work Order to address the OOT condition for the tool.

When the CM work order is created for the OOT reading, information from the MIL step and the tool record is pulled into the work order. The problem description on the CM work order states that there is an OOT reading and that the reading is entered in a PM WO, which is referenced.

To activate the create CM work order option, select Update Tolerances from the Readings Action menu and select the Create CM? check box. Click OK to save.The out of tolerance limits for the tool and the actual readings, by date, of the DUOM being measured.

This submenu is updated by the Failure Analysis batch job that is used for Equipment. It displays the CM and PM WOs on which this serialized tool is entered.
