Overview: Component Maintenance Cockpit
Use
The CMC is a daily tool for MRO work centers and planners. It can provide a vast amount of information related to PM/CS orders, operations, and notifications, enable the use of automatic scheduling and prioritization of work for specific orders or specific work centers, as well as allow you to monitor work progress, identify bottlenecks, and use it as an overall decision-making tool for order handling.
The CMC has two different views - a work center view displaying information on operations that are to be performed in a selected work center, and a general view displaying information on all operations in the selected orders. This enables you to use the CMC for work center planning as well as for general monitoring purposes.
Note
The view that you select influences the calculations that the CMC performs. If you select a work center view the CMC only performs the calculations for the operations that are assigned to that work center, whereas in the general view the CMC performs the calculations for the entire order.
Depending on the Customizing settings, the CMC provides work centers and planners with a great variety of information on notifications, purchase orders, purchase requisitions, work in progress, completed operations, PM-, CS- and refurbishment-orders.
