Advisory-to-Work-Order Closed Loop

The Predictive Maintenance workflow becomes operational when a reviewed advisory turns into maintenance work and the field outcome comes back into the system. This closed loop helps teams measure recommendation quality, reduce repeated false positives, and keep maintenance evidence connected to equipment history.

Closed-Loop Flow

Prerequisites

Requirement	Why it matters
Reviewed advisory	The maintenance action should come from an accepted recommendation.
Work-order owner	A team must own assignment, execution, and closeout.
Shared asset identity	Advisory and work order must refer to the same equipment.
Outcome labels	Field results need a consistent vocabulary for later analysis.
CMMS route	The deployment must define whether FactVerse or a downstream system owns execution.

Source Data Inputs

Input	Use
Advisory record	Source recommendation, evidence, status, and reviewer decision.
Equipment profile	Asset identity, location, and operating context.
Work-order record	Assignment, status, priority, action, completion, and closeout notes.
Field outcome	Confirms issue, false positive, sensor issue, duplicate, or deferred action.
Sync log	Shows whether downstream CMMS handoff or update succeeded.

When to Create a Work Order

Create or link a work order when the advisory has enough evidence for action.

Requirement	Why it matters
Equipment identity	The work order must point to the same equipment as the advisory.
Failure mode or symptom	Field teams need a clear reason for action.
Priority	Maintenance planners need urgency and SLA context.
Recommended action	The work order should describe inspection, repair, replacement, calibration, or monitoring.
Evidence link	Operators should be able to return from the work order to the advisory and source signal.

If evidence is incomplete, snooze the advisory or create a lower-risk inspection task instead of a repair order.

Work-Order Handoff

Predictive Maintenance may work with FactVerse CMMS Operations or a downstream CMMS/EAM provider.

Handoff mode	Use
Native FactVerse work order	FactVerse is the operating workspace for maintenance execution.
Draft request	A supervisor reviews the recommendation before dispatch.
Downstream CMMS handoff	An existing CMMS remains the execution or record system.
Link existing work order	A related work order already exists and should be connected to the advisory.

For multi-provider environments, use Multi-CMMS Consolidation.

Outcome Labels

When the work order closes, record what happened in the field.

Outcome	Meaning
Confirmed issue	Field work confirmed the predicted symptom or likely failure mode.
Prevented failure	Action found a developing issue before service impact.
No fault found	Inspection did not confirm the advisory.
Data or sensor issue	The anomaly came from source data, sensor placement, calibration, or mapping.
Duplicate or already handled	Existing work already covered the recommendation.
Deferred	Work could not be completed in the current window.

Outcome labels should be consistent enough to support monthly reliability review and model tuning.

Expected Output

The closed-loop process should produce:

• a durable link between advisory and work order;
• a clear assignment and response path;
• field evidence and closeout notes;
• an outcome label for the advisory;
• review data for precision, repeated issues, and tuning decisions.

Review Precision and Learning

Use the outcome history to answer:

• Which equipment classes produce useful advisories?
• Which failure modes are repeatedly confirmed?
• Which signals or thresholds create false positives?
• Which advisories produce work orders but no field finding?
• Which maintenance actions reduce future anomaly recurrence?

The goal is to make recommendations traceable, reviewable, and improvable while keeping maintenance ownership clear.

Validation Checklist

• Advisory has a durable ID and source evidence.
• Work order records the advisory link.
• Field team can see equipment, symptom, priority, and recommended action.
• Completion records outcome, root cause, action, and notes.
• Rejected or snoozed advisories still preserve reason and reviewer.
• Outcome statistics are reviewed on a regular cadence.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Check
Work order cannot be created	Permission, CMMS route, required fields, and equipment identity.
Existing work order cannot be linked	Work-order ID, tenant scope, source ownership, and duplicate rules.
Outcome is missing at closeout	Closeout form, required advisory link, and field team process.
Precision metrics look unreliable	Outcome completeness, review window, and repeated unresolved advisories.
