Understanding Crew Schedule Revisions
After the schedule has been created, the system must allow for scheduling emergency, unplanned, or minor work that was not originally scheduled. The planner or supervisor is typically responsible for initiating and managing breaks in work. You initiate this process from the Manage Schedule program by reviewing the current schedule and then accessing the link to the Unscheduled Work program, which you use to select additional work to add to the schedule. The work selected is added to the current schedule and appears on the Crew Work Assignments form under the current period for the crew to carry out.
During this process, you can review the work in the current schedule and remove work to allow capacity to take on the new jobs added. When you are removing work from the current schedule, the Maintenance Rescheduling Metrics Revision program appears, enabling you to enter the reason for rescheduling. Work can be removed from the current schedule if you click the Remove from Schedule button or the Move To button. The Remove from Schedule button moves the work back to the unscheduled backlog for rescheduling. Using the Move To options, you can move the work to the next period, the following period, or a specific period in the future.
