General Reference

PLA Data Model

The following diagram shows how the families used in a Production Loss Analysis are related to one another.

Note: In the diagram, boxes represent entity families and arrows represent relationship families that are configured in the baseline database. You can determine the direction of each relationship definition from the direction of the arrow head: the box from which the arrow originates is the predecessor, and the box to which the arrow head points is the successor.

PLA Security Groups

The following table lists the baseline Security Groups available for users within this module, as well as the baseline Roles to which those Security Groups are assigned.

Important: Assigning a Security User to a Role grants that user the privileges associated with all of the Security Groups that are assigned to that Role. To avoid granting a Security User unintended privileges, before assigning a Security User to a Role, be sure to review all of the privileges associated with the Security Groups assigned to that Role. Also, be aware that additional Roles, as well as Security Groups assigned to existing Roles, can be added via Security Manager.

PLA System Code Tables

The following table provides a list of the System Code Tables that are used by PLA:

Table IDTable DescriptionFunction
MI_IMPACT_CODE_COLOR Impact Code Color Populates the Color list in Impact Code records.
MI_PLA_DATA_FREQ PLA Data Entry Frequency Populates the Data Entry Frequency list in Production Plan records.
MI_PLA_PLAN_BASIS PLA Plan Basis Populates the Plan Basis list in Production Plan records.
MI_PLA_PRODUCTION_MODEL PLA Production Model Populates the Production Model list in Production Plan records.
MI_PLA_RATE_UOM PLA Production Rate UOM Populates the Production Rate UOM list in Production Profile records.
MI_RCA_NeededOptions to indicate whether an RCA is required for the Production EventPopulates the RCA Needed list in Production Event records.
PESTProduction Event Status Populates the Status list in Production Event records.

PLA State Management

PLA uses the standard State Management functionality to manage Production Events and Production Plans. The following baseline states are configured for records in the Production Event and Production Plan family:
  • New/Planning: State of a Production Event and Production Plan that is new, rejected, or reopened.
  • Pending/Approval: State of a Production Event and Production Plan that is submitted for review or resubmitted for review. You cannot modify such a Production Event and Production Plan.
  • Approved: State of a Production Event and Production Plan that is approved. You cannot modify such a Production Event and Production Plan.
  • Complete: State of a Production Plan that is closed. You cannot modify such a Production Plan.
Important:
  • Only a user who is assigned to the following Security Roles can change the status of a Production Event and Production Plan from New/Planning to Pending/Approval:
    • Production Loss Accounting Administrator
    • Production Loss Accounting Service
    • Production Loss Accounting User
  • Only a user who is assigned to the following Security Roles can change the status of a Production Event and Production Plan from Pending/Approval to Approved or New/Planning:
    • Production Loss Accounting Administrator
    • Production Loss Accounting Service
  • Only a user who is assigned to the Production Loss Accounting Administrator Security Role can change the status of a Production Event and Production Plan from Approved to New/Planning.
  • Only a user who is assigned to the Production Loss Accounting Administrator Security Role can change the status of a Production Plan from Approved to Complete.
The following diagram shows the workflow of the baseline PLA State Management process for the Production Event family.

The following diagram shows the workflow of the baseline PLA State Management process for the Production Plan family.

PLA Site Filtering

In PLA, the site for the production data is assigned at the unit level (that is, the Production Unit family) and then spread to all related records, such as Production Plan records, Production Loss records, and Production Event records.

Tip: For more information, refer to the Site Filtering section of the documentation.

In PLA, users will see only production data that is assigned to their site(s) or production data that is designated as a global record.

Note:

Site filtering is not enabled for the following families:

  • Product (MI_PRODUCT)
  • Production Event Code
  • OEE Code
  • Impact OEE Codes

Consider an organization that has three sites, Site X, Site Y, and Site Z. The following Production Unit records exist:

  • Production Unit A: Assigned to Site X
  • Production Unit B: Assigned to Site Y
  • Production Unit C: Assigned to Site Z
  • Production Unit D: No site assigned (global record)
    Tip: For more information, refer to the Site Filtering section of the documentation.

Scenario 1: User assigned to only Site X

This user will see Production Unit A and Production Unit D.

Scenario 2: User assigned to both Site X and Site Y

This user will see Production Units A, B, and D.

Scenario 3: Super User

This user will see Production Units A, B, C, and D.

Important: If a multi-site user, or a Super User, links child records from multiple sites to a parent record designated as Global, another user who does not have access to all sites may only see a portion of the data associated with that record. In the example above, if a child record assigned to Site X and a child record assigned to Site Y are linked to Production Unit D, the Site X user will not be able to see all the records related to Production Unit D.
