IBM Maximo Manage v9 Work Management Specialty (S2000-026) Practice Exam

A work-management specialist at Boxworth Manufacturing must configure work-order approval routing. Which Maximo Manage v9 approach fits the work-order lifecycle?

1. Approve every work order automatically with no review
2. Skip workflow and approve work orders via email
3. Let any user move a work order to any state with no rules
4. Configure a workflow process for the WORKORDER object with approval-state transitions, approver roles, escalation rules, and completion actions so the work order progresses through approval states predictably

A specialist at Stonebridge Utility wants to prevent actuals reporting before a work order is Approved. Which control fits?

1. Skip status controls and hope users follow process
2. Allow actuals reporting on work orders in any status
3. Configure status-transition rules so actuals (labor, materials, tools) can only be reported on work orders in Approved or higher statuses, blocking premature actuals with a validation message
4. Block actuals reporting entirely to avoid errors

A specialist at Creswick Mining configures work-order completion to roll up costs to the asset. Which configuration fits?

1. Skip cost rollup to save database space
2. Configure the completion action to roll up actual costs (labor, materials, tools) to the parent asset so asset lifecycle cost reflects the completed work, per the documented costing rules
3. Roll up costs only manually per request
4. Hide costs entirely from the asset record

A specialist at Falcondale Refining authors a job plan for a high-risk maintenance task. Which job-plan design fits?

1. Author the job plan with no safety-plan linkage
2. Author the job plan with detailed tasks, labor/materials/tools planned by task, and link a safety plan so safety information flows to generated work orders
3. Skip job plans and let technicians improvise
4. Link every job plan to the same generic safety plan regardless of hazards

A safety-plan administration task at Bristmere Power must ensure permits are obtained before work starts. Which configuration fits?

1. Skip permits to save time
2. Allow work to start without permits and record permits after the fact
3. Configure the safety plan with required permits (hot work, confined space, LOTO as appropriate) and tie the work-order workflow so permit steps are completed and signed before the work status advances to in-progress
4. Record permits verbally with no documentation

A specialist at Salterly Chemicals wants planned hours and materials on job plans to drive default estimates on generated work orders. Which configuration fits?

1. Configure labor, material, tool, and service estimates on the job plan so that when a work order is created from it (manually or via PM), those estimates flow onto the work order as planned values
2. Leave all estimates blank on the job plan
3. Require planners to re-enter estimates on every work order
4. Skip planning and let actuals drive everything

A specialist at Hollowbrook Water creates a PM for a pump that needs inspection every 30 days. Which PM configuration fits?

1. Create a time-based PM with a 30-day frequency, an associated job plan and safety plan, and lead time for work-order generation so the work order is created with enough notice for planners to schedule
2. Set the PM with no frequency and hope it fires
3. Generate work orders only after equipment fails
4. Create a PM without a job plan and let technicians decide the scope

A specialist at Tarnbrook Logistics needs a PM based on vehicle mileage rather than time. Which PM configuration fits?

1. Configure a meter-based PM using the vehicle’s odometer meter, with frequency defined in miles (or km), so work orders generate when meter readings cross the threshold
2. Force time-based PMs for mileage-driven assets
3. Skip meter-based PMs because meters are unreliable
4. Generate PMs at random intervals and hope they align with mileage

A specialist at Meadowview Industries must ensure technicians report actual hours accurately. Which labor-reporting configuration fits?

1. Let anyone enter any hours on any work order
2. Configure labor reporting with craft and hourly rates, require start/stop or hours entry per labor transaction, and validate against work-order status before permitting actuals — enabling accurate cost rollup
3. Skip labor reporting and estimate after the fact
4. Use a single default hourly rate for all crafts

A specialist at Pemlock Pharmaceuticals must reserve materials for a planned work order. Which work-management inventory configuration fits?

1. Reserve every part in stock for every work order just in case
2. Pull materials without reservations and let inventory counts drift
3. Skip inventory integration and track parts in a spreadsheet
4. Plan materials on the work order (via the job plan or manually), let the planned material drive a reservation against inventory, and issue the material when work starts so counts stay accurate and unused items can be returned
