EAM Work Order Planning – An overview

Introduction

The Work Order Planning and Scheduling business component provides definition and description of the following:

• Work Order Scheduling

• Resource Leveling

• Employee Assignment

This component deals with scheduling & planning various work orders in a given period of time depending upon the resource availability in that period and the requirement of resources for work orders. The work order will be in FRESH or APPROVED status and will have to be scheduled.

Employee Assignment assigns resources to the work order if resources are available. If work order is rescheduled, resources are re-assigned again to the new schedule depending upon the availability of resources. The system checks for material availability in inventory and reserves disposition items automatically and allocates non-disposition items, if they are available. In case the material is not available, a purchase request for the material is automatically raised. The system also checks for tools availability and assigns the tools as per the requirement of the work order.
