Maintenance is performed in specific cycles for time-based maintenance planning, for example, every two months or every six months.
To represent simple maintenance cycles, you can create a single cycle plan. To represent complex maintenance cycles, you can create a strategy plan based on a time-based maintenance strategy . For more information, see Single Cycle Plan and Strategy Plan .
A time-based maintenance plan must comprise the following parts, in order for it to be scheduled:
Scheduling data
Maintenance cycle (for single cycle plans and multiple counter plans)
Maintenance strategy with maintenance packages (for strategy plans)
