Codes

Codes can be used for many purposes in iMaint. Codes can be used to identify characteristics of work orders such as reasons for failure or delays. If you established a Code Type Solution, you may create Codes such as Replaced Part, Added Lubrication, and Trained Operator to explain what we did when we performed the work requested on a work order. You can also create codes to gather specified information such as vibration analysis results, valve conditions, and temperature readings.

The Code Process Flow:

  1. Establish a Code Type - Reading, or Failure or even Solution

  2. Create Codes

    • Failure (ex. drop in pressure, temperature too hot, excess moisture, calibration problem)

    • Readings (ex. temperature, pressure, moisture, calibration)

    • Solutions (ex. added fluids, reset gauge, set breakers)

  1. On the Asset record, define the code.  Set up a code to include either a range of values, or a set value/state.

  2. When this asset is on the WO, and the employee enters a code that is NOT within normal range or matches to the normal state or normal value (and a procedure is associated) it will trigger a work request.  

  3. Go to Review Work Request. You may either approve the work request so that corrections can be made to fix the codes values or cancel it.

Field

Description

Code ID

A unique identifier for a code that can be associated with work orders. Code ID accepts numbers or letters (alphanumeric) up to 25 characters, including spaces.

Code Description

Description of the code that can be associated with work orders. Each code belongs to a code type. For example, for a code type of 'downtime' you might enter a code description of no production needed, natural disaster or equipment failure. For a code type of 'solution code' you might enter replace part, added lubrication, or trained operator. Code Description accepts numbers or letters (alphanumeric) up to 255 characters, including spaces.

Code Type

A unique identifier for a group of similar codes. You enter a Code Type directly into this field or click the Standard Lookup icon to search for a Code Type already existing in the iMaint system. Code Type accepts numbers or letters (alphanumeric) up to 25 characters, including spaces.

Code Type Description

Description of the Code Type for a group of similar codes. This field is populated by the system, and is read-only.
