Defining PM Schedule Groups
When you generate work orders, you can group together work requests according to location, equipment standard, equipment sub-component, and other criteria. However, you may have situations in which you want a set of work requests housed together on one work order, but the requests do not have a common location or equipment item. For example, you may want to group together all work related to a safety inspection or a single lubrication route.
For these situations, you can define preventive maintenance categories for grouping together PM schedules whose resulting work requests you want to include on a single work order. For each PM schedule, you can specify a schedule group code to identify similar schedule . Then, when you generate work requests for these PM schedules, you can use these groupings to assign similar work requests that are due the same day to the same work order.
For example, suppose you have two production equipment items that work in conjunction with one another and that when not in operation greatly affect productivity. The items have similar maintenance needs and you would like to have all maintenance on these two items occur at the same time in order to minimize disruption to the facility.
By creating a schedule group for these two items, when the schedules become due on these two items, you can group together the schedules onto one work order so that you can take down both pieces of equipment at the same time and service them with one work order. This is more efficient that separate work orders which may be executed at different times of the day.
Define your schedule groups by running the Maintenance / Preventive Maintenance / Maintenance Manager / Define PM Schedule Groupings task and completing the PM Schedule Group Code field with a descriptive unique value. Use the Description field to further explain this category.
