On the General tab enter the Task Name

Enter the Job Details

The Task Name should be a short description, a maximum of 40 characters summarising

the fault. The description should be what the fault is, NOT what is required to fix the fault
or already completed work.

Do NOT include the fleet number in the Task Name as this will be identified elsewhere in
the Notification.

elsewhere in the Notification.

fault.

characters used in the Job Details. The aim should be to provide sufficient information to anticipate
what needs to be done and what resources may be required.

 Work Order Types:

PM01 – Reactive Maintenance: This order type covers all maintenance tasks that have been initiated by
the equipment failing in service and unavailable to perform the designed operation. This is classically
known as breakdown maintenance. This will include items found in prestart inspections that require the
item to be immediately taken off line

PM03 – Proactive Maintenance: Proactive Maintenance Order Type covers all activities that rectify the
condition of equipment before its functionality is lost. This includes all activity work initiated from a
preventative maintenance inspection and also includes all issues identified prior to failure independent of
what initiated the inspection.

PM05 – Non Maintenance Activities: This Order Type captures all work that doesn’t fall into the other
predefined maintenance types.
