PM: Counter-based maintenance planning
Description
From Release 3.0, you can now schedule maintenance
tasks on the basis of
counter readings.
To do this, you must first maintain points that have been defined as
counters for the
equipment or locations.
Counter-based maintenance planning is supported in two different forms:
You create a counter-based
maintenance strategy (where the dimension of the maintenance
packages is not time, for example km, to), where the maintenance packages have
the same dimension (quantity unit).
The individual operations are allocated to the packages in the strategy, just
as for time-based strategies in Release 2.1/2.2.
2. Planning without a maintenance strategy
or maintenance packages, but with several possible dimensions (including
time)
Maintenance planning of this kind requires the
creation of a multiple counter plan, in which you can allocate several
counters of different dimensions to the schedule. The
counters are linked either with an OR operation or an AND operation.
Example:
Maintenance is required:
every 100 tonnes produced or
every 50 operating hours or
every 14 days
With this type of counter-based maintenance, all
the operations in the
task list are copied into the maintenance order when due (in
other words, there are no maintenance packages).
Scheduling periods are not supported in the case of counter-based
maintenance plans, as scheduling is dependent upon the actual counter reading
progression.
