Prerequisites

This lab requires the following:

  • A working MAS environment with Maximo Manage, or another Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system, Maximo Health, Maximo Health and Predict, IBM Maximo Models for Electrical Distribution and Maximo Optimizer installed.
  • Sufficient asset data to run the analysis and get insights
  • User id with application access to Health application.
  • User id with access to a site. Otherwise you will get a warning This user doesn't have access to any site. Site access is required to access ASSET object

Login to MAS Applications

Launch Health on the Applications tab. If Health tile is not present on applications tab, ask your MAS admin has to enable it.

  1. After you login using the credentials provided by your instructor, navigate to the
  2. From the main MAS page, select the Applications tab navigate_to_health
  3. Click the Launch link on the Manage, Health or Predict tile. To setup permissions in the next exercise you will go to Manage.
  4. This displays the assets grid page with a table of assets and their health scores for the user's currently assigned site. assets_page

**Note if the user isn't assigned to a site they will not see any assets. **

Setup Health Asset Permissions in Manage

In order to allow users to edit source record on Action button on the Health asset details page you must first configure the Health application security groups in Manage using the steps below.

  1. Go to Manage Application. assets_page
  2. Choose the Security group application. assets_page
  3. Search on the HEALTH group and click enter key. assets_page
  4. Click the Applications tab.
  5. Select Assets assets_page
  6. Click the Grant listed options for the application
  7. Enable options for asset actions assets_page
  8. Click Save Group. assets_page
  9. Go back to Healthapplication and login using the user to ensure the operation is now possible.

Setup Default Health Asset Condition Scores

Maximo Health v9 includes the ability to automatically active Asset Condition scoring for all assets that don't belong to a score group. After you activate the default asset condition scores, any new asset you create will also use the out of the box default score group to calculate asset condition for Health Risk and Criticality. Asset that are already part of score group will be skipped.

Watch the video on Default Asset Condition Scores

Activate the Default Score

In this exercise you enable the Default Score.

  1. After you Log into IBM Maximo for the first time you will be reminded to enable the Default Score.
  2. Press the Activate Button to enable the Default Scores. default_scores_form
  3. Make sure you have create assets and they have the required dependencies set. An Asset Priority, Work orders or Service Requests set against the asset. Asset installation date and asset expected life based on Manufacture.
  4. Optionally you can choose to activate the scores later. Go to Setting Group and Groups tab to find the Default_Score group to enable it.
  5. Check the group to see if the default scores have been activated. You will see Health, Risk and Criticality calculated for all your assets. default_scores_group

Asset scores will begin to be calculated using the Default_Score group. You can also verify if the scoring is working by viewing assets using the Asset Table List page. If the Health, Risk ad Criticality score don't apper it likely because there data missing for it to be calculated. You can bulk update missing data for Installation Date in the Asset Table List page simply by clicking on the column and row asset value and entering the information in the pop up dialog.
You can also view the Asset Condition Scores for Health, Risk and Criticality on the Asset Details page.

Create an Asset

In this exercise you create an asset in IBM Maximo Manage. You will use this asset later to measure it's Meantime Between Failure and see how it's value performs versus other assets using a Chart.

Meantime Between Failure

To calculate the count of how many assets are achieving or not achieving the meantime to failure requires that you specify threshold goal to achieve. For example what is the number of hours an asset needs to go to achieve the meantime of failure goal. Assets who have a meantime between failure less than the number of hours means they are failing earlier than required and therefore aren't meeting the meantime between failure. Meantime between failures is calculated using the amount of time an asset goes before it has an unscheduled work order. Where the work order is either a corrective maintenance or emergency maintenance. The meantime between failure is calculated by summing the total amount of time between installation and the first and subsequent unscheduled work order divided by the total number of unscheduled worker order occurrences.

Create Threshold on Charts Page

To create a meantime between failure threshold consider the group of assets that you are measuring performance for. Consider creating separate thresholds for a groups of similar expected performance assets within an asset class like pumps and other thresholds for assets that are part of a system and require similar performance considerations like an HVAC system.

For this exercise you will create a MTBF performance threshold for an asset class. You can use pumps that have a similar asset class, type, manufacture and model. There are two ways to create Thresholds. One is on the Asset Charts page,

If you haven't previously created any Thresholds. The other way to create them by going to the Score Settings page.

  1. Navigate to the Asset Charts page. setup_settings menu
  2. Click Create threshold button.
  3. Fill in the form values and click the Save button. setup_settings menu
  4. Select the box at the top of the page to select all of the assets on the table. setup_assets
  5. Select Create investment project. setup_assets

Create Threshold on Score Settings Page

Create a Threshold anytime by navigating to the Score Settings After you create the threshold it will be made available as an option on MTBF chart on the Charts page.

  1. Navigate to the Score Setting page. setup_settings menu
  2. Click Funnel button.
  3. Select the previously created Threshold you want to use for the current View and click the Save button. setup_settings menu

The other way to create them by going to the Score Settings page.

  1. Navigate to the Asset Charts page. setup_settings menu
  2. Click Create threshold button.
  3. Fill in the form values and click the Save button. setup_settings menu
  4. Select the box at the top of the page to select all of the assets on the table. setup_assets
  5. Select Create investment project. setup_assets

Add Required Data on Asset Details

To calculate an asset's meantime between failure (MTBF), the asset's installation date must be known. Assets that are unable to display their MTBF value will show an i icon in the MTBF column and asset row in Asset Table Page or on the value card of the Asset Details Page. By clicking on the i icon, a dialog will open where you can set the installation date. Suggested values for the installation date are also provided.

  1. Navigate to an Asset Details Page change_asset_status
  2. Click the an i icon on the MTBF value card.
  3. Choose the installation date using the Calendar control inf the dialog. If you don't know the installation date consider using the suggested value of when the asset was first added to Maximo.
  4. Click save to save the installation date.
  5. The MTBF value card will be updated when the MTBF calculation is recalculated in the crontask.

Add Required Data on Asset Table

  1. Navigate to an Asset Table Page change_asset_status
  2. Click the an i icon on the MTBF value card.
  3. Choose the installation date using the Calendar control inf the dialog. If you don't know the installation date consider using the suggested value of when the asset was first added to Maximo.

  5. The MTBF value card will be updated when the MTBF calculation is recalculated in the crontask. You will see a status message letting you know the value will be calculated. change_asset_status

Troubleshoot MTBF

If an asset's MTBF value doesn't appear in the Asset Details page or Asset Table page after you have entered and the asset's installation date and the crontask has run then check to see if there are any filters applied to the crontask that remove your asset from the list of assets to be calculated for MTBF.

  1. Navigate to the crontask in Manage. change_asset_status
  2. Search on MTBF and click on the MTBF crontask. change_asset_status
  3. Review the crontask parameters to see if the value would descope your asset from being calculated. change_asset_status
  4. Remove or correct any filters that my descope your asset from being included in the MTBF score calculation task. and click the save button to save the crontask settings.
