Planned Downtime – Company Site
When you begin to establish your company’s Planned Downtime, we recommend you start at the Company
Site level and work down to the Welding Power Source level. Any site-wide downtime (e.g., a holiday like
Christmas Day) trickles down to the Containers and Welding Power Sources. This makes it easier for you to
maintain if you only need to change this type of downtime in one place. See page 9.10 for details on how
to add Planned Downtime.
For example, John at Advanced Manufacturing added the following Planned Downtimes at the Company
Site level. These downtimes trickle down to the Welding Power Source so he doesn’t have to edit each
machine. He can just edit a single entry to change them all. See page 9.11 for a breakdown of the example
company. Table 9.5 explains the details of each entry.
