Understanding PM Information

You can review detailed information about future preventive maintenance. For example, you can review:

  • Projected dates for preventive maintenance.

  • Projected service types for specific pieces of equipment.

  • Estimated hours and amounts for labor and materials for each service type.

  • A summarized total of estimated hours and amounts for all service types that match the search criteria that you enter.

You can use any of these types of information to limit the PM information that appears:

  • Forecast type

  • Schedule dates

  • Service types

  • Equipment location

  • Equipment number

  • Equipment category codes

When you run the PM projection, you can use the information that the system generates to help plan the maintenance activities. You specify the time period for which you want the system to forecast when equipment requires maintenance. The PM projection includes this information:

  • All equipment that requires maintenance.

  • Dates when the equipment requires maintenance.

  • Parts and materials that are required for the maintenance.

  • Estimated amount of time that is required to perform the maintenance.

  • Work Order coding based on the Maintenance Rules File (F1393).

The Update PM Projections program uses information from the equipment masters and the preventive maintenance schedules for the equipment to update these tables:
