Visual representation on the status monitor for when a down/reduced asset will be back online
Visual representation on the status monitor for when a down/reduced asset will be back online - i.e. the ability to add in manually or via EFP3 the return estimate date & time that the asset will be back online. Both ATS & Customer will be able to view this information and plan/communicate accordingly via the live feed reducing the need to send out manual status overview updates.
The reason why we declined this is for a few reasons.
- Just because the asset is down does not mean it is a priority for all customers. A highly critical asset may need to break the daily or weekly schedule, but that may not be the case for a lower critical asset.
- In order for us to know when the task may be complete, the job would have to be planned. If the job is a reactive task that is Priority 1 or Priority 2, a planner would not be planning that task. We want the planners focused on Priority 3, 4, and 5 tasks for future schedules.
- It is risky to promise a completion time for tasks. Problems regularly come up during reactive jobs that extend the time it tasks to complete. This is why planned maintenance is much safer and efficient that unplanned maintenance.
Thank you for the suggestion and feedback. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our Reliability360 team.

Nice idea Mike. This is something our customer continually asks for. Having this on the ESM would delight them, and reinforce the discipline in our recovery plans.
