Cycle Modification Factor
You can use the cycle modification factor to define the execution time for a maintenance plan individually. To do this, modify the cycle for the maintenance strategy which is generally valid to meet the requirements of the technical system, process or location.
By entering a cycle modification factor, you can lengthen or shorten the cycle specified in the maintenance strategy. A cycle modification factor greater than 1 lengthens the cycle, whereas a factor less than 1 shortens the cycle.
A maintenance strategy with a total cycle duration of 60 days is assigned to the maintenance plan. You want to change that for this plan. Therefore, you enter the cycle modification factor 1.5.
