Add PM activity equipment group standards

You can identify standard work times and repeat thresholds for program activities on selected equipment groups.

1. At the EMMS main menu, select Maintenance | Preventive Maintenance | Programs. The Work With Programs display screen appears.
2. Right-click on the program and select Activities. The Display Program Activities screen appears.
3. Right-click on the activity and select Equipment Standards. The Activity Equipment Group Standards display screen appears.
4. Type in the Standard Hours and Repeat Threshold for an equipment group you wish to add to the activity.

   Repeat Threshold is the minimum number of days there should be between repairs on the specified component for these types of unit. For instance, if set to 45 and a work order is created to 'change brakes & drums - front' 30 days after the last 'change brakes & drums - front' repair on this unit, a warning message is displayed on the work order screen. This lets the technician know when the frequency of repairs is unusually high for a particular unit. This is optional.

   Standard Hours is the number of hours the operation normally takes to perform, to 2 decimal places. This is optional.

5. Right-click on the equipment group and select Select. An asterisk will appear in front of the group to show it has been selected.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 for each equipment group whose standards are to be added to the activity.
7. You can now add procedures, skills, and check lists for the selected groups.
8. Click Exit to return to the Display Program Activities screen.
