Other modules - Conflict manager and graphical planner

The WorkSafe® conflict manager module provides a user-friendly overview of planned and ongoing work activities to allow users to avoid conflicting work activities.

User-friendly
The WorkSafe® conflict manager module is designed to look and feel like a Microsoft Outlook calendar to enhance system familiarity for users.

Benefit: A familiar system view will help users understand the system and enable them to feel comfortable with applying the system functionality.

Simple conflict management
Conflict manager allows privileged system users to move work to avoid conflicting work activities at every stage of the planning process up to ‘Issued’.

Benefit: The flexibility of the system ensures work can be scheduled in the most effective way to minimise the risks of conflicting work.

Operational security
Users can only utilise the capabilities of the WorkSafe® conflict manager module if they have been granted the appropriate system permissions.

Benefit: Utilising security management of user roles ensures that only those users who have the appropriate level of system knowledge and site responsibility can reschedule work to be completed.

The WorkSafe® graphical planner module provides a multi-level visual overview of permit and non-permit maintenance work to assist with planning work to be undertaken and to minimise conflicts.

User-friendly
The WorkSafe® graphical planner module provides a user-friendly tool that gives clients the ability to inspect visually planned and ongoing work across their facility.

Benefit: A visual overview allows for work planning to be conducted more effectively as users can see at a glance where work is being performed or is scheduled to be performed.

Multi-level overview
Graphical planner includes both top view and side view plans, which allows users to ‘drill-down’ through a site.

Benefit: Multi-level plans allow users to locate work on a site visually and understand exactly where it is being performed.

Filter views
Graphical planner allows a user to filter which information is displayed on screen. Some examples of the filters that can be employed are:

• Types of work, e.g. permits only
• Status of work, e.g. live work only
• When the work will be performed, e.g. now, next week, during the planned shutdown in the future.

Benefit: Filtering the view on Graphical Planner to show only the information pertinent to the users ensures that visual clutter is reduced, and that users can focus on the key information they require.
