How many events are there in SKED?

In SKED, which stands for the Shipboard Effective Reporting System, there are specifically three types of events that are integral to the tracking and scheduling of maintenance activities. These events are categorized as Planned, Unplanned, and Emergency.

Planned events are those that are scheduled in advance based on maintenance requirements and timelines, allowing for efficient resource allocation. Unplanned events arise due to unexpected failures or maintenance needs that occur outside of the planned schedule, requiring immediate attention. Emergency events represent critical situations that demand instant action to prevent system failures or accidents.

The clarity of having three distinct events in SKED helps to streamline the maintenance management process, providing a structured approach to prioritizing and executing maintenance work. This structure ensures that all maintenance activities are documented effectively, facilitating better tracking and reporting of the ship's overall material readiness.
