3. Approve Permit (Permit Approver) ✔️: The permit request is reviewed and approved by the permit approver.
4. Issue Permit (Permit Issuer) 📜: Once approved, the permit issuer issues the work permit to the maintenance executor.
5. Execute Maintenance Work (Maintenance Executor) 🛠️: The maintenance executor carries out the maintenance work as per the issued permit.
6. Permit Extension Required? 🔄: After the initial permit period, it is determined whether an extension is required for the maintenance work.
7. Request for Extension (Maintenance Executor) ⏳: If an extension is required, the maintenance executor requests a permit extension. The extension request process mirrors the initial approval steps.
8. Return and Close Permit (Maintenance Executor) 🔒: If no extension is needed, or after the extended period, the permit is returned and closed by the maintenance executor.
9. Confirm Work Order (Maintenance Executor) ✅: The maintenance executor confirms the completion of the work order.
10. Technically Complete Work Order and Close Notification (Maintenance Executor) 📂: The maintenance order is technically completed and the notification is closed by the maintenance executor, signaling the end of the maintenance process.
