Calendar-based fixed schedule

In this schedule one preventive maintenance work order is generated for every date that is mentioned in the fixed schedule. For example, if you have specified the dates on which preventive maintenance work must be carried out as 04/01/2002, 04/13/2002, 04/22/2002 and 04/30/2002 the next due dates for preventive maintenance work order will be 04/01/2002, 04/13/2002, 04/22/2002 and 04/30/2002.

Usage-based fixed schedule

In this schedule one preventive maintenance work order is generated for every parameter value that is specified. For example, if you have specified the values at which preventive maintenance work must be carried out as 2000 km, 5000 km and 7000 km, three preventive maintenance work orders are due when the parameter reaches the three values.

Off-Seasonal

Preventive maintenance work orders are not generated for the period that is defined as the Off-Seasonal. A period can be a date range or a range of specific days of a month, which will be recurring in nature. For example, if off-season for a preventive maintenance work is defined from July 10 2001 to September 9 2001, then the preventive maintenance work schedule would not generate the preventive maintenance work order between July 10 2001 and September 9 2001. Off-Season can be defined as from April 1 to t May 31 and as annual recurring, then preventive maintenance work schedule would not generate the preventive maintenance work order between April 1and May 31every year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Generating preventive maintenance forecast – An overview

Generate PM Forecast - A summary of the activity

This page allows you to select preventive maintenance schedules and view the dates on which they are due during a specified period. You can select the preventive maintenance schedules by carrying out a search based on the following fields:

You can then specify the forecast period for which you wish to view the preventive maintenance schedules that are due. Based on the search criteria the system retrieves the preventive maintenance schedules that are due to be performed in the forecast period.

You can also save the details of the forecast that is done for the purpose of review later on. You can save the forecast details by entering a forecast review number and a description. The system saves the forecast details and assigns the current system date as the date on which the forecast was done. .
