Understanding Maintenance Planning

Use maintenance planning to accurately forecast the parts and labor resources that are needed to complete the maintenance tasks. Use maintenance planning to minimize equipment downtime by ensuring that the necessary parts, materials, and maintenance personnel are available when a piece of equipment requires maintenance.

When you use maintenance planning, you define a range of maintenance work orders for which the system projects parts requirements and labor requirements. You can integrate this information with forecasted (planned) work orders that the system generates when you run a preventive maintenance projection.

After the system generates a preventive maintenance projection, you can:

• Review information from the preventive maintenance projection.

• Generate a parts plan.

• Respond to system recommendations for purchasing parts and materials.

• Generate a labor plan.

• Revise a labor plan to accommodate available resources.

• Review the maintenance plan within the resource assignments crew scheduling processes.

To use Maintenance Planning, you must have purchased and installed these systems:

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management.

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management.

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Resource & Capacity Planning.

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Material Planning.

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Base and Order Processing.

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management.

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement.

Check with the system administrator to verify which systems you have purchased and installed.

You should be familiar with these terms and concepts:

• PM projections

• Parts plans

• Labor plans
