Work set standards
Use a work set standard to group related standards and actions into a single procedure that operators can execute as one guided flow on the shop floor.
Complex shop floor processes such as Clean-Inspect-Lubricate (CIL), changeover, and line startup involve multiple sub-activities that have different schedules, dependencies, and triggers. A work set standard organizes these sub-activities into one standard so process engineers can plan the whole process once and operators can execute it as a single flow.
Components of a work set standard
A work set standard has three components.
Work set standard
The grouped standard record that defines scope, ownership, location, and the sub-activities that are part of the procedure.
Sub-activity
An individual step in the work set standard. A sub-activity can be of type Standard (links to a published Industrial Guided Task standard) or Action (creates an industrial action when the work set runs).
Work set task
The execution record that is created when a work set standard runs. When the work set task is created, the system generates a standard task or action for each sub-activity.
Roles for work set standards
The following roles control who can author, supervise, and execute a work set standard.
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
sn_icw_std.work_set_standard_author | Assigned to process engineers. Can create, update, and publish work set standards and sub-activities. |
sn_icw_std.work_set_expert | Assigned to line leaders. Can cancel work set tasks and perform user actions. |
sn_icw_std.work_set_user | Assigned to operators. Can execute work set tasks and the child tasks that they generate. |
Note: The standard author role inherits the expert role, and the expert role inherits the user role.
When to use a work set standard
Use a work set standard when a single shop floor procedure includes several related activities that share scope, schedule, or location. Common examples include daily maintenance routines, line startups, and product changeovers.
Do not use a work set standard for a single, standalone task. For those cases, use an Industrial Guided Task standard.
