When you first open up Maintenance5000, you are greeted by the login screen as seen below.
Enter your ‘Login name’ and ‘Password’ to gain access to the Maintenance5000 Start Screen.

Once logged in, you will be greeted to the Maintenance5000 Start Screen. The Start Screen is
spilt in to three main sections.

The first section, which can be found on the left hand side of the screen, lists the various
Maintenance5000 modules that you can gain access to. Hovering the mouse over each module
opens a new window with further options. Selecting one of these options takes you in to that
particular module.

The second section, which can be found in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, is the
System Health Monitor.

The System Health Monitor details the status of a number of elements that ensure that the
database is running as it should. These elements are as follows:

Background Service last execution - The Background Service runs behind the scenes
of the database and is responsible for all of the automated processes with
Maintenance5000 such as the creation of Works Order for due PPM Tasks, and the
email messages sent out when certain triggers are met.
Calendars - The Calendars inform Maintenance5000 when a working day starts and
finishes or when a particular shift pattern is about to start or finish. This enables the
database to accurately filter out Engineers that are no longer on shift or on leave when it
comes to assigning a work order to an appropriate Engineer. The Calendars also inform
the database when to stop and restart the clock in relation to Priority times for response
and completion at the end / start of a working day.
Last Database Backup – The Last Database Backup element provides you with a date
and time stamp of when the Maintenance5000 database was last backed up.
Current Users x out of x Licensed users – This final element displays the current
number of users logged on to Maintenance5000 out the maximum number of users
allowed at any one time.

The third and final section of the Start Screen is the Digital Dashboard. This section takes up the
majority of the Start Screen, and details in graphical form a number of various Key Performance
Indicators.

It is possible to change the graphs to reflect other Key Performance Indicators such as
‘Outstanding Jobs by Priority’ or ‘Jobs by Craft’.

Once selected, this will take you through to a new screen where you can start to input the
necessary details relating to your new piece of equipment.

There are a large number of fields to be completed across a number of Tabs, but the screen
can be designed around your Business Rules and the level of detail that you wish to record with
the database. However, it is advisable to collect as much information relating to each piece of
equipment as possible.

To enter a new piece of equipment, you must first select the template most appropriate to the
record being entered.

Registered in England and Wales No. 2454806
There are four templates to choose from, each representing a particular level on the Location
Hierarchy that is predefined within the database based on your business needs. The four
templates are as follows: -

Site – This is the very first level within the Location Hierarchy, and can normally be
associated with a particular Building or Complex. For example, Hospital A, Building 1
etc.
Location – This is the second level within the Hierarchy, and is associated with an
area / floor within a particular Site. For example, First Floor within Hospital A.
Sub Location – This is the third level within the Hierarchy, and is associated with a
room / block / ward within a particular Location. For example, Ward Bee, on the First
Floor of Hospital A.
Asset – This is the fourth level with the Hierarchy, and is associated with a piece of
equipment that can be found within a particular Sub Location. For example, an air
conditioning unit in Ward Bee, on the First Floor of Hospital A.

It is possible for an asset to be defined at any of the previous levels within the Location
Hierarchy.

Depending on which template is chosen, the screen view will change accordingly and the
number of fields that require populating will also change.

Once a Template has been selected, the next step is to enter the various bits of information
relating to the equipment in to the appropriate fields. This information is spread out over a
number of different Tabs, such as ‘Details’, ‘Email’, ‘Attachments’ etc.

In the screenshot above, you’ll notice that the fields ‘Code’ and ‘Description’ are greyed out. This
means that the fields are “self-generating”, and will be populated once the record has been

saved. Any fields that have a red exclamation mark next to them are mandatory fields and
must be completed before the equipment record can be saved.

Once all of the necessary fields have been completed, click on the button to save the
record and create a new Equipment number. The button can be found in the top left hand
corner of the screen.

If you need to add any further information to an existing record or correct a piece of information,

then you can easily do so by clicking on the button located at the top of the screen.

Once the record has been updated, click the button in order to save your changes. If you

wish to exit the record without saving your changes, then click the button.

It is also possible to attach documents to your record, such as ‘Test Certificates’, ‘Operating

Instructions’ etc. In order to do so, click on the tab, and you will be taken to
the following screen: -

To add a new attachment to the record, click on the button that is located in the top right
hand corner of the Attachments window. A new window will open, and here you will be able to
select the method by which you wish to attach the document to your record.

There are three options in total, ‘Document’, ‘Local File’ and ‘Shared File’.

Document allows you to attach a document that is already stored within the database’s
Document Registry. Local File gives you the opportunity to upload a file directly to the record,
from your computer or local network, and Shared File allows you to enter a File Path or URL
linking you to the appropriate document.

In each case, you also have the option to record comments against of the attachments. If the
attachment is one that is required to be printed along with a Work Order, then the ‘AutoPrint’
box should be checked. This will ensure that every time a Work Order is produced and printed
against the current equipment record, the specified document will be printed automatically.

Maintenance5000 also gives you the option to send out Email notifications to pre-defined
recipients whenever a Work Order is raised against an item of equipment.

In order to set up the various recipients, select the tab, and the following screen will
appear: -

If email notifications are operational, then entering an email address in the “Email” field will
result in an automated email being sent to the address(es) entered whenever a Work Order is
created against this item of equipment, or the status of a Work Order changes. Entering email
addresses in the “Email CC” and Email BCC” fields will in turn result in emails being CC’d and
BCC’d to the defined addresses respectively when a Work Order is created or the status of the
Work Order changes.

2.02 Equipment List
The Equipment List module allows you to view all of the different items of equipment within the
database in a sortable, filterable and searchable list.

In order to gain access to this list screen, you need to select the ‘Equipment List’ option from the
Start Screen.

Registered in England and Wales No. 2454806
Once selected, this will take you through to a new screen where you will be able to view a list of
all the items of equipment within Maintenance5000 in a tabular format.

This type of list screen is something that is commonplace within Maintenance5000, and the
functionality of these screens is the same throughout the database.

The equipment record is displayed as a row item with various pieces of information displayed
in columns. This information is read only, and very often a summarised version of the record.

If you wish to drill down further and view the full details relating to the equipment item, select
the magnifying glass icon , which can be found in the very first column from the left. This
will take you in to the equipment’s detail page, from where the record can be amended if
necessary.

A great feature of these list screens is that they can be filtered, sorted and searched in a
number of ways to best suit how you wish to display the information.

If you wished to reduce the amount of information that appears on this screen, it is possible to

hide certain columns from view. In order to do this, firstly select the gears button which
can be found in the top right hand corner of the screen. Pressing this button, pulls up a new
window which lists the various fields available to view.

If you wish to be able to view that particular field, then you just need to ensure that the tick box
next to the field name is checked. If you wish to hide a particular field, then just uncheck the tick

box. Clicking the button will result in the screen being updated to reflect the changes
that you have made. If you wish to return the screen to its original state, then just press the

button.

If you wish to sort the screen in a particular order, then just click on the heading of the column
that you wish to sort by.

Clicking the column header once, will sort the column in an ascending order. This will be
highlighted by the appearance of a little back triangle pointing upwards in the column header.

Clicking the column header for a second time, will sort the column in a descending order. This
is highlighted by the little black triangle now pointing downwards.

Clicking the column header for a third time will result in the sorting being switched off for that
column, and the little black triangle will now disappear.

It is possible to apply sorts to more than one column. In these cases, a number will appear next
to the little black triangle indicating the importance and order in which the sorts are applied.

Filters that are used frequently can be predefined and added to the list screen to facilitate easy
querying of the data; these are known as Filter Sets. One Filter Set can then be added as a
default, in which case this filter will always be applied when the list screen is first opened.

It is possible to identify which Filter Set is currently being applied to the list screen, by looking at
the banner just above the Column Headers. There will be a brief description here identifying the
Filter Set currently being applied.

If you wish to change the Filter Set, then select the Filters button , and this will bring up
a list of all of the available Filter Sets for this particular list screen.

The currently selected Filter Set is indicated by a green tick next to it, and the default Filter Set
will be highlighted with “[Default]” as part of its description.

To apply any of the other available Filter Sets, then just click on the description and the screen
will apply the newly selected Filter Set. To remove the Filter Set and show every item of
equipment ever entered in to the database, then just select ‘Empty Filter’.

Within the list screen, many of the columns also support an additional filter function that allows
the column contents to be searched for a particular word that might form part of the contents.

You can tell if a particular column enables you to do this if there is a white blank cell located
just underneath the Column Heading.

Type the word that you wish to search for into the cell, and this will then return all of the
instances where the value starts with this word.

In the example below, you can see that searching for the term “Hall” in the ‘Hospital’ column
returns no matching records. This is because there are no Hospital names that start with the
term “Hall”.

To overcome this and return a list of equipment items that can be found in a Hospital with the
term “Hall” in its name, then prefix the term “Hall” with the % symbol. The significance of the %
symbol is that it acts as a wildcard and allows the database to look for the term “Hall” anywhere
in the Hospital field. In this case, searching for the term “%Hall” will result in the following
records being returned.

In some cases, the list screen will display the returned records over a number of pages. The
screen details which page you’re currently residing on in the top right corner of the screen.

In order to flick through the various pages one by one, just press the or button located
either side of the Page number. This will take you backwards or forwards to the next page.

Clicking on button will amend the Page number description to reflect the current
page you’re on out of the total number of pages, along with the total number of row items
within this list screen.

You should also notice that there are now a couple of extra buttons available to select.

Selecting either of the buttons will move you backwards or forwards ten pages at a time,

whereas the buttons will take you back to the first or last page respectively.

It is also possible to export the list screen for use in a different piece of software, if you wish to

manipulate the information a little further. To do so, just select the button and you’ll be
given a choice of two formats “.csv” and “.xml” to which you can export the data to.

Once you’ve selected the format in which you wish to export the data, Maintenance5000 will
then give you the option to either open your new file, save it or cancel the whole process.

Once the requestor’s details have been captured, the next field to complete is the ‘Equipment’
field. If the Equipment number is already known, then this can simply be typed into the empty
field. If you’re not sure, then there are 2 main ways to find the details that you require.

Firstly, place the flashing cursor inside the ‘Equipment’ field, and then hit ‘Backspace’. Doing this
will bring up a small drop-down box from which you can choose the piece of equipment you
are reporting on.

Scroll down the list to find the affected Item of Equipment, and then double-click on the

Once selected, this will take you through to a new screen where you will be able to view a list of
all of the currently active Helpdesk Requests grouped by date within Maintenance5000 in a
tabular format. The facility to add a new Helpdesk Request from this page also exists.

From this screen, it is also possible to review the Helpdesk request to see whether it needs to
become a Work Order and assigned to an Engineer. In order to do so, you first need to view the
Helpdesk Request detail screen.

Click on the magnifying glass button located to the left of the row in which your Helpdesk
Request appears. Within this screen, a number of fields have to be amended in order for the

Work Order to be created. Click on the button, and this will cause the fields to
become amendable. Then amend the Job Type field, Status field, and ideally the Optimum
Resource field. Changing the Job Type field at this stage would be enough to create a Work
Order, but it would be prudent to amend the other fields at the same time to truly reflect what is

happening with the request. Once these fields have been amended, click on the button to
save the changes and create the Work Order. The Work Order will have exactly the same
reference number as the original Helpdesk Request.

If the Helpdesk Request is not to progress to a Work Order, for example it’s a duplicate of a
previously logged request, then the request will need to be completed.

4.0 Work Orders / Jobs
Work Orders within Maintenance5000 are the next step on from Helpdesk Requests and allow
you to add more detail to the original request such as assign a Labour Resource to complete
the job, adding tasks to the job that need to be completed, tracking time and costs spent on the
job etc. Work Orders are also ‘Task-based’ and therefore must contain at least one task.
Individual tasks can then be created within a Work Order, essentially meaning that the Work
Order is a project. These tasks can then be individually assigned to employees rather than the
Work Order as a whole.

Within this module, you are to create a new Work Order, amend/complete existing Work
Orders, and view various Work Order reports.

relating to when the work started and when it should be completed by, who’s carrying out the
works, and comments on the progress made so far.

The Job Details Tab contains a further three Tabs, ‘Planned’, ‘Faults’ and ‘Readings’. These Tabs
allow further information to be recorded with regards to the Planned costs relating to the works,
such as estimated time to complete the task, any kits or materials that may be needed to carry
out the works, the faults behind the failure of the equipment, and any meter readings that may
be required to be taken.

The Other Jobs Tab also contains a couple of new Tabs, in this case ‘Outstanding Work’ and
‘PPM Schedule’. Both of these Tabs contain a small List Screen which lists details of existing
Work Orders still to be completed against the chosen Equipment Item, and of any PPM
Schedules associated with the Equipment Item. As with all List Screens, these ones can also be
filtered, sorted and searched in exactly the same manner as those discussed earlier. Within the
PPM Schedule Tab, there is also a facility to bring forward any Planned Maintenance work that

From within this screen, functionality is provided to allow you to easily mark the Work Order and
task that you are currently working on. Logon/Logoff automatically creates a labour
transactions record and calculates the cost based on the time and between logon and logoff
actions.

To logon to an existing Work Order, click the button adjacent to the required Work Order.
This will open up a new window, where all the fields are already pre-populated.

It is not possible to amend the cells that have been shaded out, but the white fields are still

available to amend. Once these details have been confirmed as correct, click on the
button.

This will result in a system message appearing in the top left hand corner of the screen,
confirming that Logon has been completed successfully. The database will now start to count
the time spent being logged on to the task.

If you try to logon to a job that has not been scheduled for you, the database will generate a
new message indicating that you are not scheduled to carry out these works.

You are then given the option to allow the database to create an automatic schedule for you
during the logon process. Selecting will result in the database automatically scheduling the
task against you for today’s date. Selecting will result in the database cancelling your
request to logon to the task.

If you try to Logon to a Work Order whilst still logged on to another Work Order, a new error
message will appear in the top left hand corner of the screen advising you that you are already
logged on to a different task, and that you must logoff of that task before trying to logon to a
new task.

When you are ready to logoff of a Work Order, press the button. This will result in a new
screen opening up where the majority of the fields are already pre-populated. .

As with the Logon screen, it is not possible to amend the cells that have been shaded out, but
the white fields are still available to amend. If the task has now been completed, ensure that the
Complete Task check box has been ticked. The same applies if the Route Sheet(s) have also
been completed.

If it is necessary to suspend the task temporarily rather than releasing it for other employees to
logon to, then tick the Retain Task check box. When this check box is ticked and the logoff
button is pressed, the task remains scheduled to you and the task status is changed to ‘Logoff’.
In cases where the check box is not ticked and the logoff button is pressed, the task is marked
as being unscheduled and the task status is changed to ‘Unscheduled’. This may be useful
where the task needs to be completed in stages or you need to wait for certain things to
happen before being able to continue, e.g. Emergency Light Testing.

It is also possible to detail any faults against the Work Order. For further details on how to do
this, please see Section 4.02 – Work Order List.

Once these details have been entered, press the button to save these details against
the Work Order. The database will then work out the time taken between logging on to and
logging off of the Work Order, and calculate the Labour Costs accordingly.

the Purchase Order details screen by clicking the button. This will change the status
of the Purchase Order to “Cancelled” without affecting costings, stock levels or creating stock
movements. This will also result in the database producing a message at the top of the screen
confirming the cancellation.

Changes can also be made to a Purchase Order, if necessary, although this is controlled strictly
by the status of the Purchase Order. All aspects of the Purchase Order can amended with the
exception of the Supplier. If the Supplier on the order has been entered incorrectly, then the
order should be cancelled and a new Purchase Order created. To make any such changes, just

click on the button. Once all of your changes have been made, just click on the
button to save your changes.

Once all of the items on a Purchase Order have been received, you may wish to mark the

Purchase Order as ‘Complete’. In order to do this, just click on the button from
within the Purchase Order details screen. This will change the status of the Purchase Order to
“Completed”, but it will also record every item on the order as being “Cancelled”, and therefore
not update the Inventory. It is highly recommended that all Purchase Orders are completed via
the “Receive Goods” module. See Section 5.04 – Receive Goods for further details.

a brief description. For example, you could give your new Group a code of “MaintMgmt” and a
description of “Maint Mgmt Team”

The next step is then to add appropriate Maintenance5000 users to the Approval Group, define

their approval limits and their position within the approval process. To do so, click on the
button under the Approver(s) banner and the following screen will open.

Registered in England and Wales No. 2454806
Firstly, select your Maintenance5000 User from the drop down list. Then select the user’s place
within the approval process with a numeric value, the lower the value the sooner they appear in
the approval process.

For example, Joe Bloggs, John Doe and John Smith make up an Approval Group, with each
member being given an ‘Order’ value of 1, 2 and 3 respectively. This would result in Joe Bloggs
being the first Approver within the process. John Doe would then have to approve the Purchase
Order next, with John Smith having the final say before the Purchase Order can be released
and sent to the intended supplier.

The next stage is to then select the Purchase Order value limit that each Approver can
authorise up to. Finally, there is a selection of check boxes where you can make the Approver a
mandatory part of the approval process, skip the Approver completely if the value of the
Purchase Order exceeds their Value Limit and whether they can approve their own Purchase
Orders.

It is also possible to take this functionality a step further and incorporate a contingency plan
should the Approver be absent for any period of time. Under the ‘Substitution’ Tab, click on

either or to enter a Substitute Approver to cover during prolonged absences


from work, such as Annual Leave, Sick Leave etc.

Firstly, select the Substitute Approver from the drop down box and then select the start and end
dates of the period that he/she will be filling in for. Please note that the Substitute Approver has
to be a member of the same Approval Group.

Finally, click on for the record to be saved and accepted. Your new Approval Group will
now appear in the List Screen.

As with the Purchase Order Status History List Screen, there are no filter sets that can be
applied to the data. However, the remaining functionality of the screen is the same throughout
the database.

6.0 PPM Schedules
Planned Preventative Maintenance (“PPM”) are scheduled service visits to ensure that an item
of equipment is operating correctly and to therefore avoid any unscheduled breakdown and
downtime. They are made up of a set of defined Task Instructions collectively known as a
Standard Job, which are then applied to an item of equipment and carried out at regular
intervals, either based on periods of time or the number of times that the item of equipment has
been used.

Within this module, you are able to create & amend a Standard Job, create & amend a PPM
schedule, and view existing PPM schedules within the database.

6.01 Add New Standard Job
To create a new standard job within Maintenance5000, you firstly need to select the ‘Add New
Standard Job’ option from the Start Screen.

Registered in England and Wales No. 2454806
Once selected, this will take you through to a new screen where you can start to input the set of
instructions relating to the new Standard Job.

As with the majority of the other modules, some fields will be mandatory, and Maintenance5000
will not allow the Standard Job to be saved unless these fields have been completed. To
ensure that certain pieces of data are not left out, it is possible to configure any of the fields to
be mandatory.

Firstly, the Standard Job will need to be given a unique code; something that may assist in
identifying what Standard Job the code relates to.

Eg. If you were adding a new task instruction set based around the maintenance of a Fan Coil
Unit, you may use the SFG20 Standard Maintenance Specification for Mechanical Services in
Buildings instruction “59-06 Terminal Units – Fan Coil” to base your maintenance regime on. So
your code could be either of ’59-06’ or ‘Terminal Units – Fan Coil’.

Registered in England and Wales No. 2454806
However, this particular task instruction includes tasks that need to be carried out on a 6
Monthly or a Yearly basis, so separate Standard Jobs will need to be created for both. Therefore
to differentiate between the two, your new codes could become:

 59-06-03 and 59-06-12 or 59-06-3M and 59-06-1Y


Or
 Terminal Units – Fan Coil – 3M and Terminal Units – Fan Coil – 1Y

Then to complete the very first stage of creating your new Standard Job, complete the
description, Equipment Group, Job Type, Initial Status, Priority, and Site (if appropriate).

The next step is to start to enter the actual task instructions. Within Maintenance5000, the

instructions are detailed within the and tabs.

The ‘Main Task’ tab will hold information relating to the first task within the new Standard Job,
and the ‘All Tasks’ tab contains information relating to any further tasks that go to make up the
Standard Job.

Firstly, enter a code for the first task. The system defaults to ‘TASK01’ automatically. Next enter
the description of the first task that makes up the complete Standard Job. Finally, populate the
Duration, Task Type and Task Status fields.

The next stage is to define which engineer or which craft will be responsible for carrying out this

particular piece of work. This information is added under the tab. Click on

and populate the available fields, Sequence, Craft, Standard Time and Labour. The
Labour field only needs to be populated if the task will be carried out by the same engineer
every time it is required.

The facility also exists to define any costs associated with the Standard Job in the way of Kits,

Materials and Other Costs. This information is added under the tab. As with

adding information under the ‘Planned Crafts’ tab, just click on the button for each of
the three main headings and populate the fields as required.

Once all of this information has been entered, you can now click on to save the record in
its current state.

If there are any more steps to the Standard Job, these instructions can be entered under the

tab. All existing Tasks within the Standard Job are listed under this tab, and any

new tasks can be added by pressing the button. The information required is exactly the
same as that necessary to complete the main task.

If required, it is also possible to add attachments to the Standard Job via the
tab. This screen works in exactly the same way as in other modules. For further details, please
see Section 2.01 – Add New Equipment.

If email notifications are operational, then you can also set up various recipients, under the

tab, to receive emails whenever a Work Order has been created based on the
Standard Job. This element works in exactly the say way as in other modules. For further
details, please see Section 2.01 – Add New Equipment.

The tab contains a List screen which details all of the Work Orders that
contain the Standard Job. This list is automatically filtered to only show ‘Open Work Orders’. As
detailed previously, this type of List Screen is commonplace within Maintenance5000 and the
functionality of the screens is the same throughout the database. For further details on how to

6.04 Add New PPM Schedule
As mentioned earlier, PPMs are scheduled service visits to ensure that an item of equipment is
operating correctly and to avoid any unscheduled breakdown and downtime. They are made
up by applying a Standard Job to an asset, and then creating a schedule of visits, normally of a
set frequency, to create a PPM schedule. Having already looked at how to create a Standard
Job, this module allows you to apply your Standard Job to an item of equipment, and then set
when and how often the equipment is to be maintained / serviced.

To create a new PPM Schedule within Maintenance5000, you firstly need to select the ‘Add
New PPM Schedule’ module from the Start Screen.

Registered in England and Wales No. 2454806
Once selected, this will open up a new screen where you can start to create your new PPM
Schedule.

As with some of the other modules, some fields will be mandatory, and Maintenance5000 will
not allow the PPM Schedule to be saved until all of these fields have been populated. To ensure
that certain pieces of data are not left out, it is possible to configure any of the fields to be
mandatory.

The first field to be populated is the PPM Code. This field is the Unique Identifier for the PPM
Schedule so it is has to be a unique code, which could either be a sequential number or a
combination of the Asset Code and the Standard Job code for example.

The next two fields are mandatory fields and are integral to a PPM Schedule. The first field is the
Standard Job, and the second is the Item of Equipment. A PPM schedule cannot be set up
without these two items, as they dictate what is to be maintained and how it will be maintained.

Registered in England and Wales No. 2454806
The next field to be completed has a large impact on the date a PPM Work Order is created.

Lead Time enables you to specify how many days before the Start Date of the PPM Schedule
you would like the PPM Work Order to be generated.

For example, if the start date of the Annual Emergency Lighting maintenance was due to start
on the 28th of the month, and you have set a Lead Time value of 10, the PPM Work Order would
be automatically created within Maintenance5000 10 days before the 28 th. In other words the
18th of the month, thus allowing you 10 days to plan in the works.

If the Lead Time value is left blank, then the PPM Work Order would be created on the start
date, i.e. the 28th of the month.

Store for Parts is the next field to be populated, and the value in this field just indicates which
Inventory Store holds the necessary parts used in the service.

The next three fields have a large impact on the scheduling of the planned maintenance, and
therefore it is imperative that these are fields are set up correctly.

Schedule based on Due Date, if checked, will ensure that the Due Date of all of the PPM Work
Orders generated is constrained by the schedule definition. For example, if an annual schedule
is set with a Start Date of the 1st of March 2014, and the Due Date (Target Completion Date) is
the 1st of April 2014, the next work order will be generated with a Start Date of the 1 st of April
2015.

In some cases, it’s not expected that a PPM Work Order is generated based on the defined
schedule if there is already an earlier Work Order still outstanding on the system. By checking
the Suspend if Outstanding PPM Jobs Exist field, this will ensure that when a Work Order is due
to be created based on the schedule definition, it will be suspended if there are outstanding
Work Orders generated from the same PPM Schedule. Once all outstanding Work Orders have
been completed, the next PPM Work Order will be generated based on the next event date
within the defined schedule.

Re-Schedule Based on Completion Date is an extension to the ‘Suspend if Outstanding PPM


Jobs Exist’ field. When the field is checked, the Work Order will not be generated if there are any
outstanding Work Orders generated from the same PPM Schedule. However, once all

outstanding PPM works have been completed or cancelled, the next event date for the PPM will
be set by adding the defined frequency (in days) of the PPM schedule to completion /
cancellation date of the Work Order that was completed / cancelled last.

For example, if a Quarterly PPM Work Order with a Start Date of the 1 st of August 2014 was
completed on the 15th of September 2014, the next PPM Work Order would be created with a
Start Date of the 15th of December 2014.

The next stage to creating a PPM Schedule is to define the schedule, i.e. how long it is to run
for, the next event date, the frequency of events etc.

Schedule can be based around a couple of different events, but namely the two most created
schedules are Calendar schedules and Runtime schedules. To create a schedule, you must first

click on the tab, and then click on the appropriate button under
either the ‘Calendar Schedules’ or ‘Runtime Schedules’ headings.

If adding a Calendar Schedule, clicking on the button will result in some additional fields
appearing under this heading.

The ‘Valid From’ and ‘Valid To’ fields form the start and end date of this schedule. Leaving these
fields blank will result in a schedule that will run infinitely unless cancelled. Entering dates into
these fields will result in the schedule only running for the period of time between the two dates.
This may prove to be useful where the assets being maintained is on a Contract basis, and the
contract only runs for a fixed period of time.

The ‘Suspend Start’ and ‘Suspend End’ fields allow you to suspend the production of PPM Work
Orders for a defined period during the Valid Dates. During this period of time, no PPM Work
Orders will be created against this PPM Schedule. An example of where these fields could be
used is for all assets that are located within a particular room or on a particular floor that is due
to be refurbished and therefore inaccessible during the refurbishment. Rather than produce
Work Orders that will be immediately closed down, you can set the Suspend dates to match
the proposed dates of the Refurbishment and therefore stop any Work Orders from being
created over this period of time.

If Suspension dates are added to the schedule, then the ‘Suspend Type’ field will also need to
be populated. The type of suspend is selected from a drop down list, which can be amended to
suit your business needs.

The ‘Next Event Date’ is a mandatory field, and this date is the starting point for the schedule
and is used to create the Work Order generation dates throughout the lifetime of the PPM
schedule. For example, in the case of a quarterly PPM Schedule that is valid for an infinite
period of time, the ‘Next Event Date’ is the date that the very first PPM Work Order should be
started. If the ‘Next Event Date’ is set as the 1 st of May 2014, the next PPM Start Dates will be set
as the 1st of August 2014, the 1st of November 2014, the 1st of February 2014 and so on. Please
note that these Start Dates are subject to change depending on whether the ‘Re-Schedule
Based on Completion Date’, ‘Schedule Based on Due Date’, or ‘Suspend if Outstanding PPM
Jobs exist’ checkboxes are ticked.

Next the frequency of the PPM Schedule needs to be defined by clicking on the button
located under the ‘Frequency’ heading.

This results in a new window opening up where you can select the frequency of your PPM
schedule from the drop down list. The facility also exists to add descriptive comments to the
schedule.

If you have already selected the item of Equipment that you wish to create this schedule
against, the first three cells, ‘Equipment Code’, ‘Meter Type’ and ‘Description’ will automatically
be populated based on the Reading Point associated against the item of Equipment.

If however, the item of Equipment has no Reading Point associated with it or no item of
Equipment has been previously selected, then the fields will require populating.

The Equipment Code field is a drop down box which is filtered to show only those pieces of
Equipment which have a Reading Point associated with them. Once the appropriate Equipment
Code has been selected, the ‘Meter Type’ and ‘Description’ fields will automatically populate
with the correct information.

The next field ‘Comments’ gives you the opportunity to add a description of the PPM Schedule,
