====Adding a New Machine Condition====

Both the [[module_oee|OEE]] and [[module_outage|Outage Reporting]] [[analytic_modules|analytics]] classify your machine state.

By default, the include four main states - **Stopped**, **Running**, **Idle** and **Blocking**.

However, you can add more to your logic whenever you wish.

In this case, we're going to add the //Maintenance// condition, which should appear whenever there's scheduled maintenance on the system.

We get the maintenance schedule from an ARDI event source.

===Updating OEE===

When adding a new machine condition to an OEE analytic, remember to consider if the condition should be part of your OEE percentage.

//Scheduled// maintenance is important, and your crews shouldn't be penalised for it. If your OEE figures are targeted at **people, shifts or crews**, you should mark scheduled maintenance as //good//.

If you're figures are targeted at **equipment reliability**, it might be worth marking these as //bad//.
