Preventive Maintenance Engine

This section describes the Preventive Maintenance Engine. Topics includes:

• Validating PM Plans for an Asset
• Running the Preventive Maintenance Engine
• System Preferences for the Preventive Maintenance Engine
• Parameters for the Preventive Maintenance Engine

When a trigger fires, the Preventive Maintenance Engine creates a service request. Activities are created in two ways:

• Activities are derived from SR templates (and PM plans). These activities are associated with the service request. See Service Request Templates and Actions View.
• Activities are derived from activity templates associated directly with a PM plan. See Actions View, Activities subview.

NOTE:  The association between activities and activity templates is made in the Activity Templates view in the Administration - Applications screen (see Administration - Application Screen).
