eAM Preventive Maintenance

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Maintenance activities are carried out on the assets in an organization, the details of which are captured through work orders. The work orders can be generated either manually or automatically. Maintenance activities can be scheduled periodically based on time interval or based on the readings of meters associated to the asset or based on predefined calendar dates. Enterprise Asset Management makes periodic scheduling possible through Preventive Maintenance.
INTRODUCTION

Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) enables users to optimally plan and schedule maintenance activities with minimal disruption to an organizations operations or production. By effectively monitoring an assets operating condition, effective preventive maintenance strategies can be implemented. Preventive maintenance activities reduce the probability of failure or degradation of the assets physical conditions. Preventive maintenance helps to establish a maintenance strategy that ensures minimal downtime. It is possible to forecast the frequency at which preventive maintenance should be performed. The frequency is decided based on meter readings, runtime intervals or calendar dates. Meters are entered to measure any maintained number that needs to be measured and periodically serviced, based on the measurement. Preventive Maintenance Schedules(PM schedules) are defined for asset -activity combinations. Multiple schedules can be defined for experimenting with different maintenance strategies (simulation and what-if scenarios) but it is the default schedule which is used for generating work orders. The work orders are generated from the PM schedules either by running the Generate Preventive Maintenance Work Orders concurrent program or from the Forecast Work Orders form. This paper covers the basic setup and functionality of preventive maintenance. Runtime Rules, Day Interval rules and List dates are covered in this paper . Readers with an understanding of basic concepts of enterprise Asset management would be in a position to appreciate the entire gamut of this paper. Note: The paper has been written with Oracle Application Release 11.5.9 in mind The screen shots indicated pertain to 11.5.9 only.

1 eAM Preventive Maintenance

DESCRIPTION OF THE INITIAL SETUP

The maintenance organization used in this paper is EM1. Cabs is the Asset group defined. The Asset numbers under this asset group are CAB001 to CAB006. There are two maintenance activities carried out on each of the above mentioned assets :

Cab Maintenance this activity involves all the maintenance activities carried out on the cab Cab Engine Overhaul this activity is carried out only on the cabs engine.

The routing for both the activities are the same. The first operation involves department Contract. This department has one resource OSP Res and the usage defined for this resource is 12 hours . The second operation is done in FMaint department and uses resource Cab-Mech for 12 hours. The total duration for completing the activity is 24 hours. SEQ 10 20 Department Contract F-Maint Resource OSP Res Cab-Mech Assigned units 1 1 Usage 12 12 UOM HR HR

The resources OSP Res and Cab-Mech are available 24 hours. The calendar for the organization is defined as all seven days in the week as working days and does not include any exceptions.

SET NAME

"Preventive Maintenance Set Name" gives users the option of creating multiple PM schedules for one asset-activity association and provides ways of experimenting with different maintenance strategies. A PM schedule for an Activity and a Maintained Number or Maintained Group must uniquely belong to a Set Name. Set names are defined in the "Set Name" window (Navigation : Preventive Maintenance Set Name Definition). The set names used in this paper are Cab_Main and Cab_Simulation. Some important points to note : Main is a seeded set

PM schedule for the same Maintenance Number and activity combination can be created across sets Each PM schedule will have a set name field. It is a mandatory field Every PM set has an end date. Every PM schedule that belongs to the set must have its effective-to date before the end date of the PM set. There can only be one default PM schedule per asset-activity association.

2 eAM Preventive Maintenance

Users will be able to set and unset a default PM schedule.

Default PM schedules will be automatically picked up by the PM engine to generate work orders. Non-default PM schedules will be mainly used for simulation and What-If scenarios and they will never generate work orders

In the Set Name window, choose Templates to view or modify the PM schedule templates or choose Schedules to view or modify the PM schedules associated with the set name.
METER

Meters are associated with maintained numbers to measure a variable of the asset or rebuildable item. Meters are entered to measure any Maintained Number that needs to be measured and periodically serviced, based on the measurement. Meters are defined using the meter definition screen.

Enter a meter name ,description and a unit of measure (UOM) for the meter. The meter defined here is OMCAB004_01 with a UOM of Hours. Choose whether the meter readings are ascending, descending or fluctuating. If the meter has to be used in scheduling, then mark the Used In Scheduling check box. As soon as this is check marked, the Rate (per day) and the Number of Past Readings fields are enabled. Enter the usage rate and the number of past readings (if Used in Scheduling is marked) . The number of past readings designates how many

3 eAM Preventive Maintenance

readings prior the scheduler should go to for calculating the usage rate. If there are an insufficient number of readings, then the usage rate defined here is used. A usage rate of 20 and a number of past readings of 5 is entered for the meter OMCAB004-01

The initial meter reading and the effective dates are optional. For meter OMCAB004-01 , an initial reading of 0 was entered on 15th Nov, 2004

The Meter defined can be associated with the asset number (Navigation : Meter Meter Association) . Meter OMCAB004-01 is associated with Asset number CAB004. Another way to define meters is through the Meter Template . In the Meter Template definition, meter templates are associated with maintained groups .After the association, whenever a new asset number is created under the maintained group, a meter is created and attached to the new asset number automatically.
LAST SERVICE INFORMATION

The last service information captures details of the date and the reading when the last maintenance activity is done on an asset. Last service reading captures the meter reading when the activity was performed most recently on the asset. The last service reading cannot be greater than the last meter reading (in case of ascending meter) or less than the last meter reading (for descending meters) Similarly, last service date captures the date when the activity was performed most recently on the asset . Last service start date captures the date when the activity started and last service end date captures the date when the activity ended. Last service start/end date serves as a starting point for rule based scheduling. The last service information is usually updated from the work order completion. When a work order is completed, the last service start & end date will be updated with the work orders actual start & end date and the last service meter readings will be entered. The last service information can be modified from the Last Service Information screen (Navigation : Preventive maintenance Last Service Info)

There is no meter associated with the asset number CAB001 so no meter details are seen in the screenshot provided above
PREVENTIVE MAINTENACE SCHEDULE

Preventive maintenance schedules are defined to create or forecast work orders based on rules or based on a list of specific date. A preventive maintenance schedule can be created on asset number activity or asset route-activity combination. The PM schedule is defined in the Preventive Maintenance (Schedule Definition) window ( Navigation : Preventive Maintenance Schedule definition). In the PM schedule definition window, enter the following details :

Enter a unique Schedule name Choose the Item type. You could choose between Asset and rebuildable. Enter a valid set name. The set name must be defined in the Set name definition window. Every Set Name has an end date. Every PM schedule that belongs to the Set Name must have its effective-to date before the end date of the PM Set Name. Select a Maintained Number . If the Item Type chosen is Asset, then this field refers to the Asset number else it refers to the rebuildable number. In the case of Non serialized rebuildable item, then this field is not required The maintained group is populated automatically as soon as a value is entered for the maintained number field. Select the Activity. Only the activities associated with the asset number / rebuildable is available in the list of values. Choose the Schedule type. The options available are Rule Based and List Dates. The Day Interval Rules tab and the Runtime Rules tab are enabled if you choose Rule Based schedule type . The List dates tab becomes enabled when the schedule type chosen is List dates The Effective date defaults from the activity chosen. The Effective from and Effective To dates can be updated Run to failure items are those whose items costs are cheaper than the maintenance cost of the item. If the Run To Failure check box is selected, the PM Scheduler will not automatically schedule the maintained number and Activity association, however manual Work Orders can still be created. The Default check box, if marked, indicates that the PM schedule is the default schedule for the maintained numberactivity combination. Work orders will be generated only based on the default PM schedules

5 eAM Preventive Maintenance

Day Interval Rules

The day interval rule specifies the time span in days, between the creation of each work order . This is based on the last service information. For information on the last service start date & end date, pls refer to the Last Service Information described above

The above PM schedule will be used to explain the Scheduling options

Scheduling Options

The Scheduling Options controls the way the work order dates are calculated by the PM scheduler. This decided whether forward scheduling or backward scheduling must be used by the PM Process.
Start to Start

This is a Forward Scheduling Method. The PM scheduler uses the base point as the Last Service START date and calculates the START dates for the scheduled work orders.
Forecast Work Order

In the Maintenance Workbench (Navigation : Work Order planning Maintenance Workbench), choose the Asset number CAB001. In the work order form, Press on the Forecast Work button to get the Forecast Work Order form. In the Forecast Work Order form : The Start date would default to current date

Enter the cutoff date. The Cutoff Date decides the date till which you would like the Work Orders to be created from the suggested dates.

6 eAM Preventive Maintenance

The horizon is the difference between the start and cutoff date. If the horizon is changed, then the cut off date gets recalculated Optionally enter a Set name. If a set name is entered then the Simulate button gets enabled and the Run and Implement button grays out. On the other hand if no set name is chosen, then the Simulate button is grayed out and the Run and Implement buttons are enabled. . No PM schedule will be picked up for the asset/activity association if there is no simulation PM schedule with the set name existing. When Combine with Default is checked, the default PM schedules gets picked up in the cases where no PM schedules with the specified set name exist. When Combine with Default is not checked, only PM schedules with the set name specified will be picked up by the PM engine.

For the asset CAB001 (schedule attached to this asset number is CAB001_CM), when the Forecast Work Order is run from the Maintenance Workbench, the following work orders are suggested .

The last service start date was 24th Nov, 2004. With a day interval of 30, the first work orders START date is suggested on 24th Dec, 2004 and the consecutive work orders are created with a difference of 30 days. The Implement button could be chosen to convert the forecasted schedules into work orders. Implementing the third line in the above schedule, would create work order with the start date as 22-Feb-2005 and completion date as 23-Feb-2005.

7 eAM Preventive Maintenance

Start to End

This is a Backward Scheduling Method. The base point here is the Last Service START date and using the base point, the PM process calculates the END dates for the scheduled work orders. For the PM schedule, CAB001_CM, change the Scheduling option to Start to End.. The screenshot below shows the forecasted schedule for the asset number CAB001 for the Start to End option

The last service START date was 24th Nov, 2004. With a day interval of 30, the first work orders END date is suggested on 24th Dec, 2004 and the consecutive work orders are created with a difference of 30 days. Implementing the third line in the above schedule, would create work order with the start date as 21-Feb-2005 and completion date as 22-Feb-2005.

End to Start

This is a forward scheduling method . Here the PM scheduler uses the last service END date to calculate the START dates for the scheduled work orders. Changed the Scheduling option to End to Start for the schedule CAB001_CM and forecasted the work orders. The last service end date was 26th Nov, 2004. With a day interval of 30, the first work orders START date is suggested on 26-Dec-2004 and the consecutive work orders are created with a difference of 30 days. The suggested work orders are shown in the next screen shot.

8 eAM Preventive Maintenance

Lead Time In Days

The Preventive Maintenance process suggests work orders to be created or scheduled in the horizon between the forecast start date to the cut-off date specified while running the process. Lead Time In Days specifies the work orders for those extra days beyond the cut-off date mentioned. To illustrate this example, for the schedule CAB001_CM, a value of 25 is entered against the Lead Time In Days field.

The PM process was run with a cutoff date as 01st May, 2005. The lead time of 25 days was taken into the picture while running the PM process so a work order was also forecasted for 25th May 2005.

9 eAM Preventive Maintenance

End to End

The PM scheduler uses the base point as the Last Service END date and calculates the END dates for the scheduled work orders. This is a Backward Scheduling Method.

Note : The Lead Time In Days is set to zero for the following simulations
Reschedule Manual Work Orders

In the PM schedule, mark the Reschedule Manual Work Orders check box. If the box is checked, the unreleased manual work orders will be taken into account during PM rescheduling, else not. PM engine will not reschedule firmed or released work orders. Another change introduced in the PM schedule, CAM001_CM, is the Multiple Rules defined for the day interval rule. The interval between the scheduled work orders is 30 days between 24-Nov- 2004 and 28-Feb-2005 . From 01-Mar-2005 to 15-Aug-2005 , the day interval specified is 45 days.

The details of the 3 work orders already existing for the asset CAB001 is shown below Sl 1 2 3 Work Order Number EM182073 EM182074 EM181973 Scheduled Start date 14-Jan-2005 05:31:00 10-Feb-2005 13:17:00 23-Jun-2005 00:00:00 Scheduled Completion date 15-Jan-2005 05:31:00 11-Feb-2005 13:17:00 24-jun-2005 00:00:00 Status Unreleased Unreleased Released

10 eAM Preventive Maintenance

When the PM engine is run, the schedule shown below is proposed

Line 1, 2 ,4 and 5 in the above forecast corresponds to the interval rule of 30 days. After 26th Mar, 2005, the interval rule of 45 days is added to get the next effective date of 10th May ,2005. The next expected schedule must be with the schedule end date of 24th Jun, 2005 but as there is already a work order on the 24th June, no work order is suggested by the PM engine. Also note that for the released work order EM181973, the action column contains a value of No Action. For work order EM182073, the check box is marked meaning that the work order will be rescheduled to the expected end date. For

11 eAM Preventive Maintenance

work order EM182074, the check box is not marked so the work order will not be rescheduled. Implementing the forecasted work orders would provide the following work orders

The work orders forecasted for this schedule is shown below

Runtime Rules

Runtime rules are based on meters. The interval between the work orders is calculated based on the interval divided by the usage rate. Ensure that the following setup is complete before defining a runtime PM schedule Activity Definition Maintained Number or maintained Group - Activity Association Meter Definition Meter/Asset Association Maintained Group (Non-Serialized Rebuildable) or Asset or Maintained Number/Activity Association

The Runtime rule will be explained using asset number CAB004. Meter OMCAB004-01 is defined and attached to the asset CAB004 (refer Meter definition explained before). Schedule CAB004_CM is defined for the asset CAB004 as shown in the next screen shot:

12 eAM Preventive Maintenance

The interval defined for the meter OMCAB004-01 in schedule CAB004_CM is 300 KM. Usage rate defined for the meter is 20 KM The last service information can be entered from the PM Schedule screen by pressing on the Last Service Info button. The service start and end date is on 15th November , 2004 and the last service reading is 0 KM

13 eAM Preventive Maintenance

No Meter Readings

No meter readings are entered. When running the PM engine from the Forecast Work Order screen, the following work orders are forecasted :

The usage rate is 20 KM and the interval is 300 Km so the work orders are scheduled at a gap of 15 days. The current meter reading date is 15th Nov,2004 so the first work order is created on 30th Nov, 2004 and thereafter a work order is created every 15th day.
Usage Rate Not Recalculated

Meter readings are now entered in the meter reading screen(Meters Reading). The reading history shows the following :

Meter

The number of past readings is 5 whereas only two entries have been made so the usage rate is 20 (defined in the meter definition form). The system uses the Life To Date meter reading to calculate the Usage Rate.

14 eAM Preventive Maintenance

The PM schedule forecasts the following schedules

The first Scheduled date is not 30th Nov, 2004 00:00:00 but it is 28th Nov, 2004 15:36:00. This is calculated using the following logic : Current Meter reading = 67 For the PM Schedule, Last Service Date = 15-Nov-2004 Target Meter Reading = 300 Current Meter reading Date = 17-Nov-2004

Due date for next service = Current Meter reading date + (target meter reading Current reading)/rate = 17-Nov-2004 + (300 - 67)/20 = 17-Nov-2004 + 11.65 28-Nov-2004 15:36:00

The work orders after 28-Nov-2004 15:36:00 are spaced at an interval of 15 days
Usage Rate Recalculated

A few more meter readings are entered as shown below

15 eAM Preventive Maintenance

The number of past readings defined for the meter is 5. The number of readings available for the meter OMCAB004-01 is more than the required number so the usage rate is recalculated using the last 4 meter readings. The readings seen in the above screen shot is Life to date reading. The actual readings entered is given below DATE Actual Value Life to date Nov, 2004 0 0 16th Nov, 2004 35 35 17th Nov, 2004 32 67 th 18 Nov, 2004 33 100 19th Nov, 2004 30 130 20th Nov, 2004 25 155 The usage rate is calculated as the total of the meter readings value changes, divided by the total of the meter reading date intervals 15th = (Total of meter Reading value changes)/ (Total of reading date intervals) = (155-35)/(20th Nov- 16th Nov) = 120/ 4 30 The first date is calculated using the logic : Current Meter reading = 155 Current Meter reading Date = 20-Nov-2004

For the PM Schedule, Usage Rate = 30 Last Service Date = 15-Nov-2004 Target Meter Reading = 300

Due date for next service = Current Meter reading date + (target meter reading Current reading)/rate = 20-Nov-2004 + (300 - 155)/30 = 20-Nov-2004 + 4.833 24-Nov-2004 20:00:00

The work orders after 20-Nov-2004 20:00:00 are spaced at an interval of 10 days (interval/usage rate 300/30). Now when the PM engine is run, the following work orders are forecasted

16 eAM Preventive Maintenance

Work Order Completion Change in Last service Information

A work order is created for asset CAB004 for activity cab maintenance. The scheduled start date is 20-Nov-2004 00:00:00 and completion date is 21-Nov-2004 00:00:00. The work order was completed and the actual start and end dates of the work orders are the same as the scheduled dates. While completing the work order , a meter reading of 179 was entered. The last service information of the CAB004cab maintenance is shown below :

One more reading is entered on the 22nd November ,2004. the meter readings history is shown in the table below :

DATE 15th Nov, 2004 16th Nov, 2004 17th Nov, 2004 18th 19th 20th Nov, 2004 Nov, 2004 Nov, 2004

Actual Value 0 35 32 33 30 25 24 21

Life to date 0 35 67 100 130 155 179 200

21st Nov, 2004 22nd Nov, 2004

The usage rate now recalculates to 25 ( (200-100)/4 are forecasted, the following schedule is proposed

25). When the work orders

17 eAM Preventive Maintenance

The logic behind this : Current Meter reading = 200 Usage Rate = 25 For the PM Schedule, Last Service Date = 20-Nov-2004 Current Meter reading Date = 22-Nov-2004

Target Meter Reading = 479 (last service reading of 179 +interval of 300) Due date for next service = Current Meter reading date + (target meter reading Current reading)/rate = 22-Nov-2004 + (479 - 200)/25 = 22-Nov-2004 + 11.16 03-Dec-2004 03:50:24

The work orders after 03-Dec-2004 03:50:24 are spaced at an interval of 12 days (interval/usage rate 300/25)
Meter Reading Reset

The meter OMCAB001-04 is reset to zero on 24th Nov, 2004 00:00:00. The value before Reset was 200. The forecasted orders are shown below :

18 eAM Preventive Maintenance

The usage rate remains at 25 and the logic of calculation remains the same as shown under work order completion except that now the last meter reading is on 24th Nov, 2004 (for the work order completion calculation it was 22nd Nov, 2004) so the first work order is suggested on 05th Dec, 2004 03:50:24. Disabled meter readings are not considered by the PM schedule.

Schedule Based On

PM Schedule CAB005_CM will be used to understand the functionality of the schedule based on option. The screenshot of the schedule definition is posted below:

The schedule, CAB005_CM, is based on Runtime Rules and has two meters OMCAB005-01 and OMCAB005-02 attached to it. The usage rate for meter OMCAB005-01 is 25 KM /day and the interval defined for this meter is 100 KM. The second meter OMCAB005-02 has a usage rate of 50 KMs and an interval of 250 KM. Common information about meter OMCAB005-01 and OMCAB005-02 :

Number of past reading is 3. Last service start and end date is 30-Nov-2004 and the last service reading is Zero.

19 eAM Preventive Maintenance

With a start date of 30-Nov-2004 and a cutoff date of 01st Jan, 2005, the work orders created for meters independently are shown below. OMCAB005-01 04th Dec, 2004 08th Dec, 2004 12th Dec, 2004 16th Dec, 2004 20th Dec, 2004 24th Dec, 2004 28h Dec, 2004 OMCAB005-02 05h Dec, 2004 10th Dec, 2004 15th Dec, 2004 20th Dec, 2004 25th Dec, 2004 30th Dec, 2004

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

1 2 3 4 5 6

For OMCAB005-01, the work order will be scheduled every fourth day (interval = 100, usage rate =25) and for meter OMCAB005-02, work orders will be scheduled on every fifth day (interval =250, usage rate =50). When the Schedule Based on is set to First Due Date, then the due date is set to the due date of the first due date of all the rules. The work orders forecasted for CAB005_CM for the First due date option is shown below :

When the schedule based on is the Last Due date , then the due date is set to the last due date of all rules. The scheduled work orders for schedule CAB005_CM is shown in the next screenshot

20 eAM Preventive Maintenance

List Dates

The list dates provides users the flexibility to define a PM schedule by listing all the specific due dates on which the work orders should occur, instead of defining rules in the PM schedule. The PM engine then generates work orders on these list dates. List dates and day/runtime interval are mutually exclusive. PM Schedule CAB003_CM is defined for asset CAB003. The Schedule type is List dates and under the List Dates tab , the dates on which the work orders are required are listed out.

Generate Preventive Maintenance Work Orders program

In the previous simulations, the Forecast Work order form was used to forecast and implement the work orders. The advantage in the Forecast Work order form is the possibility of viewing the scheduled orders before implementing them. Another way to create work orders using the PM schedule is to launch the Generate Preventive Maintenance Work Orders concurrent program ( Navigation : Preventive Maintenance Generate Work orders). This program considers only the Default PM schedule for generating the work orders and does not consider any other PM schedule. The mandatory parameter passed to this program is the cutoff date. Area, asset Category, item type (Asset or Rebuildable), maintained group and Maintained number are other filters that could be passed here.

21 eAM Preventive Maintenance

After the Generate Preventive Maintenance Work Orders concurrent request completes, the WIP Mass Load program is launched to generate the work orders forecast by the Generate Preventive Maintenance Work Orders request. The work orders generated for the Asset CAB003 is shown below :

SUPPRESSION

Other Activities can be suppressed with the current Activity in the scheduling definition. You can enter suppression activities for a Maintained Number/Activity combination. To illustrate this functionality, asset CAB006 and activities Cab maintenance and Cab Engine Overhaul is used. Here the simulation set is Cab_Simulation and the Default check box is not marked. The schedule definitions are shown below :

22 eAM Preventive Maintenance

Schedule CAB006_CS is defined for the CAB006- Cab maintenance combination. The Day interval defined for this schedule is 5 days.

Schedule CAB006_CEO_CS is defined for the CAB006-Cab Engine Overhaul combination. The Day interval defined for this schedule is 4 days.

23 eAM Preventive Maintenance

CASE I : No Suppression defined When no suppression is defined, the work orders forecasted for the asset CAB006 are : Cab maintenance Activity Schedule Start Date 1 2 3 4 5 06-DEC-2004 11-DEC-2004 16-DEC-2004 21-DEC-2004 26-DEC-2004 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Cab Engine Overhaul Activity Schedule Start Date 05-DEC-2004 09-DEC-2004 13-DEC-2004 17-DEC-2004 21-DEC-2004 25-DEC-2004 29-DEC-2004

CASE II: Suppression Defined Suppression is defined to suppress Cab Engine Overhaul Activity by Cab maintenance activity (Navigation : Preventive Maintenance Suppression)

When the forecast Work order is run , the following work orders are forecasted: Cab Engine Overhaul Activity Cab maintenance Activity Schedule Start Date Schedule Start Date 1 2 3 4 5 06-DEC-2004 11-DEC-2004 16-DEC-2004 21-DEC-2004 26-DEC-2004 1 2 3 4 5 6 05-DEC-2004 10-DEC-2004 15-DEC-2004 20-DEC-2004 25-DEC-2004 30-DEC-2004

24 eAM Preventive Maintenance

The second work order forecasted under the Cab Engine Overhaul activity is on 10th Dec, 2004 and not on 9th December. This is because when a parent activity suppresses a child activity, it means that the child activity will be performed when the parent activity is done, i.e., the cab Maintenance activity performed on the cab also includes Cab engine Overhaul activity.

Keeping the above in mind, the Cab Engine Overhaul activity is done on the 05th Dec, 2004 but a Cab Maintenance activity is done on 6th Dec, 2004 which also includes the Cab Engine Overhaul activity. The next work order for Cab Engine Overhaul is scheduled 4 days from 06th Dec, 2004 , i.e., 10th Dec, 2004. The same logic holds good for the other work orders forecasted under the cab Engine Overhaul activity.
Tolerance In Days

Tolerance In Days is mentioned in the scheduling window to define the minimum interval in days that suggested Work Orders dates are spaced from each other. The tolerance considers suppression. CASE III: Suppression defined in Case II and a tolerance of 2 days set in CAB006_ CS schedule and null tolerance set in CAB006_CEO_CS schedule When the work orders are forecasted, the suggested dates is the same as in Case II CASE IV : Suppression defined as in Case II and a tolerance of null days set in CAB006_ CS schedule and 2 days tolerance set in CAB006_CEO_CS schedule The work orders forecasted for this case is shown below

Work orders forecasted for Cab Maintenance activity are 06 DEC-2004 11-DEC-2004 16-DEC-2004 21-DEC-2004 26-DEC-2004 Work order forecasted for Cab Engine Overhaul activity is 30-DEC-2004 No other work order is forecasted for Cab Engine Overhaul activity as work orders exist for the parent activity ,Cab Maintenance The CAB006_CS and the CAB006_CEO_CS schedules were set as default and the Generate Preventive Maintenance Work Orders concurrent request was submitted. The log file generated by the request is provided in Appendix A

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TEMPLATE

The previous schedules were created individually using the Preventive Maintenance (Schedule Definition) window. The other way to define schedule is to use the Preventive Maintenance (Template definition) window. A PM Template is a schedule, defined for a Maintained Group (Asset Group or Rebuildable Item)/Activity association. When the PM template functionality is used, a new PM Schedule is automatically created for a newly created Maintained Number (asset or rebuildable) for the Maintained Group. All PM Template attributes are copied over to the PM Schedule for the Instance. The steps used to create the PM template are the same as mentioned under the PM schedule definition.
CONCLUSION

This paper covers the setup and functionality of preventive maintenance using a hypothetical business scenario and test cases. The work orders were forecasted or created after ensuring that no work orders exist in the system for the asset-activity combination for the forecasted period.
