Production Losses Records

A Production Losses record stores information about a loss of production and the cost associated with it. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Production Losses family, which appear by default on the Production Losses datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Field Caption Data Type Description Behavior and Usage
Area End Number The end of the area measured for losses. This field depends on the value identified in the Losses Type field. This field is applicable only to Sub-Reliability Losses.
Area Start Number The value of the datapoint that marks the beginning of the area measured for losses. The value in this field depends on the value identified in the Losses Type field. This field is applicable only to Reliability and Sub-Reliability Losses.
Losses Cost Number The total monetary amount that was lost as a result of the production loss. This field is populated with the cost of the production loss, which is calculated by multiplying the production loss in the defined region with the Margin Value. This value also appears in the Cost column of the Production Loss Regions window for the corresponding loss.
Losses Type Character A description of the type of production loss calculated by the Production Analysis.

The value in this field is populated with one of the following values:

  • Efficiency/Utilization Loss
  • Reliability Loss
  • Sub Reliability Loss
  • Total Loss

The value in this field will also serve as the Record ID for the Production Loss record.

Production Losses Number The amount of production that was lost as a result of the reliability of the production process. This field is populated with the amount of production output that was lost in the defined region. This value also appears in the Quantity column in Production Loss Regions window for the corresponding loss.
Unit of Cost Character The unit, or currency, of the cost associated with the production loss. This value is populated with $ by default. Alternatively, you can change the margin units via the Set Currency window.
Unit Of Measure Character The units of production output (e.g., barrels). This value will be populated with the value you define in the Set Unit Of Measure window.
