What are the three types of events in SKED?

The three types of events in SKED are categorized as State, Trigger, and Metered.

Understanding these categories is essential for effective scheduling within the Navy Maintenance and Material Management framework.

State events represent a condition or status of maintenance activities. For instance, they might indicate whether a piece of equipment is operational or non-operational, which assists in making informed decisions on scheduling maintenance based on its current state.

Trigger events are specific occurrences that launch certain actions or notifications within the scheduling system. These could include milestones like the completion of a task or a predetermined date that signifies when maintenance should be initiated, thus helping to streamline processes and improve overall efficiency.

Metered events, on the other hand, relate to specific usage metrics or time intervals that dictate when maintenance should occur based on actual operational data. This ensures that maintenance actions are not only planned but are also responsive to the unique usage patterns and needs of the equipment.

Together, these three types of events help in creating a comprehensive and responsive maintenance schedule, allowing for the effective management of resources and enhancing equipment readiness.
