Work Order Prioritization (page 2)

The coding system listed below is an example of how to go about setting a “future proof” prioritization system for work order coding. Although this can appear complex at first, once the required training, documentation and guidance are in place it becomes an integrated part of daily business processes.

The following criteria could be used to judge equipment criticality and effect of the works:

Equipment Criticality	Description
1	Critical safety protective devices
2	Critical to entire plant operation
3	Critical to continued production of Main Product
4	Ancillary System to main production process
5	Critical to continued Production of Secondary Products
6	Ancillary System to secondary production process
7	Stand by unit in a critical system
8	Stand by unit in a non critical system
9	Ancillary Equipment
Task Effect	Description
A	Immediate threat to safety of people
B	Immediate threat to the safety of the plant
C	Limiting Operations ability to meet primary targets
D	Limiting Operations ability to meet secondary targets
E	Hazardous situation, people or machinery, not immediate
F	Will effect operations after time
G	Improve the efficiency of the production process
H	Restoration of the plant technical integrity
I	General improvement to further operability, safety or maintainability goals
