Anomaly Actions

An anomaly may have one or more anomaly actions associated with it. Anomaly actions can be assigned to individuals or teams or departments and may have a “due by” date.

Anomaly actions are not necessarily inspection type actions (eg. Confirm WT reading). The Anomaly actions functionality can be used as a reminder to initiate a study with a vendor, or to have a discussion with an OIE about access.

Properties of an Anomaly Action

1. Anomaly - Is the name of the anomaly that this action belongs to. To change the anomaly that the action is assigned to, click on the button to the right.
2. Name - A short (50 character limit) name for the anomaly action.
3. Reference No. - Used to reference (or cross reference) number. The number may relate to a Work Order number in your Planned Maintenance System.
4. Action Type - Choose from a list of pre-defined action types. Typical action types may include “[EVENT] - UT Reading”, “[ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT]”, or “[TEMPORARY REPAIR]”, however this list is user-definable and action types can be added or edited by clicking on the ellipses button on the right hand side of the action type input control.
5. Created At - Enter the date that the anomaly action is created. This will default to todays date, but is editable thereafter.
6. Created By - Enter the name of the person creating the anomaly action. This will default to the currently logged in user, but is editable thereafter.
7. Action Before - Enter a date that the anomaly action should be completed by.
8. Assigned To - Enter the name of an individual or department that is responsible for progressing or completing the Anomaly Action.
9. Completed At - Enter the date that the anomaly action was completed. Please note that an anomaly action is not deemed “completed” until there is a valid date entered in this field.
10. Percent Complete - Enter a value between 0 and 100. This is for reporting and information purposes only.
11. Comments - A large free text field to retain additional information about the Anomaly Action which may not already be captured in the properties of the anomaly action.
12. Is Tasked? - This field is indicative of whether this action has been assigned with a task or not.
