Task Types in RCM++/RBI

RCM++ and RBI allow users to define a variety of task types for scheduled maintenance, so that the available task types match their organization's terminology. In order for simulation and cost calculation results in RCM++ and RBI to be accurate, it is necessary to map these task types to the three scheduled task classes used in URDs (i.e., preventive, inspection or on condition). To define the available task types, including their task class association, choose File > Manage Database > Task Types.

(In a secure database, this is available only to users with the "Manage other database settings" permission.)

The table in the window displays a list of the existing task types defined for the database. For each task type, you must specify a name, an abbreviation of up to three characters, and a task class that it corresponds to. Click the cell in the Task Class column to choose one of the three scheduled task classes from the drop-down list. You can have multiple task types that use the same task class. This can be helpful in indicating to users which properties should be defined for a given task. For example, a service task and a failure finding task could both be classified as inspection tasks for the purposes of the simulation; however, for the service task, a user will want to define a restoration factor, whereas for the failure finding task, no restoration occurs.
