Planning maintenance
You can monitor asset conditions, locations, and materials availability to help the
maintenance planning process. You can also use maintenance data to predict the needs of future
maintenance.
Creating preventive maintenance records
Preventive maintenance (PM) records are used to generate the work orders that specify the scheduled maintenance work. PMs can contain job plan and corresponding safety plan information that is copied to work orders. You can enable version control of PM records to track revisions of PMs.
Maintenance planning
Maintenance planning involves the monitoring of asset conditions to assess the need for maintenance work in the short term. Decisions in maintenance planning are based on the availability of tools, labor, and facilities.
Maintenance forecasting
You use the Maintenance Forecasting (CM) application to forecast a preventive maintenance (PM) for an asset or an asset fleet. You can forecast the maintenance periods based on a feasibility evaluation, the associated PM events, and the resources available for the maintenance.
Slot planning
A slot is a submaintenance location, which can represent a maintenance road within a rail depot or an area of an aircraft hangar where maintenance activities are completed. Each slot can have its own capability, calendar and shift, and any number of availability periods that are associated with it. The availability periods are either automatically created in bulk in the selected calendar or shift or by selecting adding rows and creating individual periods.
Managing work orders
A work order specifies a particular task and the labor, materials, services, and tools that are essential to complete the task. You can also associate configuration-managed (CM) items with work orders and create work orders that are a result of the cannibalization process.
Managing work order hierarchies
To minimize disruption and increase efficiency in your maintenance process, you can group maintenance requirements into a work order hierarchy and do all the maintenance at the same time.
Managing events
You can record data on events, which can be planned activities, such as regular maintenance, or unplanned occurrences, such as a fuel leak. Capturing the data can help the process of improving asset performance and reliability.
