Maintenance Activity
Supporting Activity
Describes a maintenance or supporting activity where we are not sure of its classification
Unspecified Activity
p is an adjust activity =
Def p is a process and there exists a material artifact m that has a function f and participates in p at some
time. The following is also true:
- m has state at some time some sub-optimal operating state s1 and optimal operating state s2
- f is impacted by s1
- p occurs at some time tp
- tp finishes s1 and p starts s2
Bringing any out of tolerance condition into tolerance.
A BFO:Process involving a change of state in an item that improves the ability of an item to perform its
function or fulfil its capabilities without requiring restoration of the function/capability

p is a calibrate activity =
Def p is a process and there exists a material artifact m that has a function f and participates in p at some
time. The following is also true:
- m is the bearer of a control and monitoring role ry
- m has state at some time some failed state or degraded state or operating state s and operating state s2
- if s is failed state or degraded state then s disables f
- if s is sub-optimal operating state then s impacts f
- p occurs at some time tp: tp finishes s and tp starts s2
- p is is prescribed by some part of a preventative maintenance strategy ps
A task involving testing and adjustment of instrumentation to assess and restore function
A BFO:Process performed on equipment instrumentation, to estimate the ability of the instrumentation and restore if needed.

p is an diagnose activity =
Def p is a process and there exists a material artifact m that has a function (or capability) f and participates in p at some time. The following is also true:
- m has state at some time some degraded state or failed state state s
- f is disabled by s
- s is observed in some observation process
The cause of failure, or degradation, is investigated but no maintenance action performed, or action is deferred.
A BFO:Process, performed on observation of an equipment failure or degradation, to estimate the ability of an item to perform its required function.

- p is prescribed by some part of a preventative maintenance strategy ps
Periodic, careful scrutiny of an item carried out with or without dismantling.
A BFO:Process, aligned with a preventative maintenance strategy, to estimate the ability of an item to perform its required function.

p is a replace activity =
Def. p is a process and there exists material artifacts a and b such that a and b participate in p at some
time. The following is also true:
- a has a function f and b has a function f2.
- f and f2 are of type F
- a is a continuant part of a system s at time t and b is not
- b is a continuant part of a system s at time t2 and a is not
- p occurs at some time tp
- t precedes t2, p finishes t and p starts t2.
Replacement of an item by a new or refurbished item of the same type and make
