Maintenance Task Lists for Planned Maintenance 

Use

You can use maintenance task lists for both recurring and planned maintenance. This includes inspections, preventive maintenance and planned repairs.

Using maintenance task lists for planned maintenance has the following advantages:

Improved planning results in better control over resources, such as manpower and material.

Better co-ordination between Plant Maintenance and Production results in more information about planned shutdowns.

Planned preventive maintenance reduces unplanned downtime.

Integration

In the PM component you can create all three types of maintenance task lists for planned maintenance tasks:

You can find additional information on planned maintenance under Maintenance Planning in the PM Component

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for creating a maintenance task list are different and depend on the type of maintenance plan for planned maintenance that you use for the task list.

You do not have to take any prerequisites into account if you want to use a maintenance task list for single cycle plans or multiple counter plans. The assignment of a maintenance strategy is not necessary.

If a maintenance strategy has been assigned to a maintenance task list, you can also use it for single cycle and multiple counter plans.

You must assign a maintenance strategy to a task list if you want to the task list for strategy plans. You can then allocate the maintenance packages from this strategy to the operations within the task list.

A maintenance strategy represents the scheduling rules for preventive maintenance tasks. It contains general scheduling data and describes which maintenance packages are valid for a technical object. A maintenance package is a series of tasks that are to be performed at a given point in time or once a specified counter reading is reached.

By allocating maintenance packages to the individual operations in your task list, you define the frequency in which the operations are to be performed. For example, every two months, every 1000 km, every 500 operating hours.
