Maximo Secrets

Maximo for Nuclear Power includes applications to support instrument calibration and the calibration of measurement and test equipment (M&TE). Assets can be calibrated. Locations can be part of a calibration loop, a set of instruments grouped and calibrated together. Tools can be defined as M&TE devices. The Data Sheet Template application is used to define the instrument specification,…

The Inventory and Procurement applications have been extended by Maximo for Nuclear Power. Terms and Conditions can be identified as being quality, technical or commercial terms or conditions. Each term has a status and a revision number.  Companies have a quality status and can have multiple quality terms and conditions. Audit details can be recorded…

A duty station is a role-based function performed on a unit across multiple shifts. It is defined as a combination of a Site, Unit and Function. Examples of a role-based function would be a Shift Supervisor, Control Room Reactor Operator, or Health Physics Technician. A Duty Station Plan defines the role-based functions required during shift operations.…

Clearances is sometimes known as Lock out / Tag out and is associated with the process of isolation of potentially dangerous equipment due to electrical, mechanical, chemical, hydraulic, heat and radiation sources that pose hazards to people and the environment.  A Clearance consists of three principal parts: A protective boundary enforced by administrative control of…

The Job Plans application is a template for the work instructions and estimates of labor, materials, services and tools that are applied to a work order to create a work plan. The Job Plan application has been extended in a small way so that job plans for permits can be distinguished from those for work orders. …

Maximo for Nuclear Power extends the core Preventive Maintenance (PM) application in a number of ways. The PM record is used to generate work orders and surveillances. PMs are normally time or meter based but work orders and surveillances can also be generated on-demand from a PM as would be the case if a particular plant…

In Nuclear environments, on-line and outage work management is operationally focused and requires extensive planning beyond the work itself. Each activity is analysed in respect of the risk assessment, compliance with technical specifications, interdepartmental coordination and the permit processes. Contingency planning will also be performed. The Impact Plans application is used to define the impacts on…

The Permits application supports the creation of many types of work permit for plant operations, engineering activities as well as maintenance. Work permits can be created stand-alone and related to a work order, or they can be generated from a work order, or created automatically when a Preventive Maintenance record with a related Impact Plan generates a…

A Condition Report is used to report on the condition or performance of assets and locations, but to also report on issues that may be related to procedures and processes. The condition reporting and corrective action program is used to improve plant performance.  The Create Condition Report application can be used by anyone on site. A classification…

A commitment is made when a nuclear power plant has to comply with external regulatory requirements, and industry codes and standards. Commitments can also be internal resulting from audits or reviews, used to reinforce policies and procedures or when there is a change to those policies and procedures. The commitment will result in actions performed…

Operating organizations must comply with requirements that are based on external and internal regulations. The records of the Tech Spec application represent the technical specifications or equivalent regulations that apply to your organization. The technical specifications are approved by the relevant regulatory authority and an operating organization must demonstrate compliance in order to be able to…

The Lineup Plans application specifies the approved operational configuration details of plant equipment components and component positions that are required for particular operating or test procedures and maintenance activities. The lineup plan leverages the component positions defined in the Locations and Assets applications. A lineup plan may reference one or more plant modes and it may…

Locations and assets created via the Quick Locations and Quick Assets applications can be included in the Changes and Releases applications so that plant implementations can be planned, necessary engineering approvals sought, and the plant changes executed prior to promoting the new configuration data. Quick Locations and Quick Assets can also be included in Lineup Plans and Clearances of type template,…

The Locations and Assets applications are used for the master equipment list of a nuclear plant. Maximo for Nuclear Power extends these core applications with functionality to support the allowable positions and restoration conditions of components used in Lineups and Clearances. The Locations and Assets applications will also show the results of configuration change events. This creates an audit…
