Defining fixed schedules

Fixed Schedule

This page allows you to define fixed schedules for carrying out the preventive maintenance on equipment/location. Tell me more.

Select the “Fixed Schedules” link from the bottom of the “Create PM Schedule” page.

The “Fixed Schedule” page appears.

The system displays the following fields:

PM	The preventive maintenance schedule number for which fixed schedules must be defined.
	The description of the schedule is displayed alongside.
	Zoom facility available
PM On	The maintainable object on which preventive maintenance must be carried out. The system displays “Equipment” or “Location”.
Code	The equipment or location on which preventive maintenance must be carried out.
	The description of the equipment or location is displayed alongside.
	Zoom facility available

Enter the following fields in the “ Calendar Based” multiline :

Date	The date on which the preventive maintenance must be performed (Date Format). Ensure that the date is a current date or a future date. Also ensure that the date is unique to the multiline.
Remarks	Any additional information about the schedule (Alphanumeric, 255).

Enter the following fields in the “Usage Based” multiline:

Parameter	The parameter based on which the preventive maintenance must be performed on the equipment or location (Alphanumeric, 30). Ensure that the parameter is already defined as a consumption parameter in the “Create Parameter” activity of the “Equipment Induction” business component and is in the “Active” status.
	If the “PM On” field is “Equipment”, ensure that the parameter is attached to the equipment in the “Create Parameter” activity of the “Equipment Induction” business component.
	If the “PM On” field is “Location”, ensure that the parameter is attached to the location in the “Create Location” activity of the “Maintenance Organization” business component.
The system displays the following field:
UOM	The unit of measurement of the parameter.

Enter the following fields:

Value

The value of the parameter at which the preventive maintenance must be carried out on the equipment or location (Decimal). Ensure that the value is a positive number. Also ensure that the value is greater than the present value of the parameter as on the current date.

Note: Ensure that the parameter – value combination is unique to the multiline.

Latest By Date	The latest date by which the preventive maintenance must be performed (Date Format). Ensure that date is not a past date.
Remarks	Any additional information about the parameter (Alphanumeric, 30).

Click the “Edit” pushbutton to save the details of the fixed schedules.

Note: The system saves the details of the schedules and displays the “UOM” field in the multiline.

The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:

Defining fixed schedules – An overview

This page allows you to define fixed schedules for carrying out the preventive maintenance on equipment/location. Fixed schedules are used for carrying out one-time execution of preventive maintenance job on a specific date or parameter value.

Fixed schedules can be of two types:

Calendar-based Schedule

Calendar-based fixed schedules are used for carrying out one-time execution of preventive maintenance on a specific date. Multiple fixed dates can be specified in one preventive maintenance schedule.

Usage-based Schedule

Usage-based fixed schedules are used for carrying out one-time execution of preventive maintenance on a specific parameter value. Multiple values for multiple parameters can be specified in one preventive maintenance schedule.

You can specify the following details for defining a fixed schedule:

If the schedule is a calendar-based schedule, the date on which the preventive maintenance must be carried out and any additional information about the schedule.
If the schedule is a usage-based schedule, the parameter based on which the schedule is due, parameter value at which preventive maintenance must be carried out, the latest date by which the preventive maintenance must be carried out and any other additional information about the schedule.
