PM Books hold details on specific maintenance activities such as when and how preventive work orders get triggered.
Preventive Work Orders are generated automatically from the PM Books. Triggering the PWOs can be controlled by one of the following types of trigger events:
- Scheduled Events (time-based)
- Gauge-triggered
- Meter-triggered
Settings for each trigger type are set up on the PM Book record for each asset. In addition, PWO creation from Scheduled Events can also be further controlled by selecting “Seasonal Dates” exceptions, for example, Create a PWO every month, except for the months of June, July, and August.
