 Scheduling Overview and Simulation: Working with the Graphic

Use

The graphical scheduling overview and simulation consists of the following components:

  • Graphical representation and simulation of the maintenance schedules

  • Graphical representation of the capacity load

  • Detail screen(s)

The graphical representation of the capacity and the detail screen can only be displayed from the graphical scheduling overview and simulation.

Graphical representation and simulation of the maintenance schedules

This overview provides information in graphical form about the call dates and maintenance call objects associated with the maintenance items contained in the overview. You can simulate the changes.

The graphical scheduling overview displays colored blocks which represent the following objects:

  • Call dates for individual operations

  • Operation status, for example, called or waiting

  • Maintenance orders created

  • Maintenance orders executed

The different colors represent the different statuses. They are explained in the legend. To call up the legend, choose Start of the navigation path Settings Next navigation step Legend End of the navigation path .

Graphical representation of the capacity load

The graphical representation of the capacity load provides information in graphical form about the capacity required by the maintenance items for the:

  • Individual work centers

  • Chosen period of time (for example, daily, weekly, monthly)

Detail screen(s)

You can display detail screens (for example, the order or the notification) for all the maintenance calls or maintenance call objects contained in the scheduling overview.

You can click on each symbol to display it in detail. The system displays the detail screen for the selected object. For example, you see the task list operation, order operation, order header and maintenance packages (if you do not display any task lists).

To exit the detail screen, choose Start of the navigation path Graphic Next navigation step Back. End of the navigation path

Procedure

Call the graphical representation of the capacity load

  1. To display the capacity load, choose one of the following options:

    Start of the navigation path Environment Next navigation step Daily CapacLoad. End of the navigation path (daily capacity load)

    Start of the navigation path Environment Next navigation step Weekly CapacLoad. End of the navigation path (weekly capacity load)

    Start of the navigation path Environment Next navigation step Monthly CapacLoad. End of the navigation path (monthly capacity load)

    The system displays a business graphic of the capacity load for the period of time you specified.

  2. You can display the capacity load in 2D or 3D. Choose one of the following options:

    Start of the navigation path Settings Next navigation step 2D settings End of the navigation path

    Start of the navigation path Settings Next navigation step 3D settings End of the navigation path

  3. To display an overview, choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Overview. End of the navigation path
