Tolerance
There are two tolerance ranges for the scheduling parameters in the
Maintenance
Planning
component.
+ Tolerance
For a late completion, this tolerance defines the time span in which a positive deviation between the actual and planned date does not influence any subsequent scheduling.
- Tolerance
For an early completion, this tolerance defines the time span in which a negative deviation between the actual and planned date does not influence any subsequent scheduling.
You can define the tolerance as a percentage of the smallest cycle in the maintenance strategy which you have assigned to the maintenance plan.
Example
The smallest cycle in the maintenance strategy which you have assigned to the maintenance plan is 30 days. You have defined a tolerance of 10% in the case of early completion. This produces a tolerance of 3 days.
If the completion is made no more than 3 days before the planned date, the system does not consider this deviation when calculating the next planned date.
