Understanding the Update PM Projections Program
Run the Update PM Projections program to forecast parts and labor requirements for future PMs. When you run this program, you specify the dates for which you want the projection to apply.
The system uses information from the Asset Master File (F1201) and the Maintenance Schedule File (F1207), specifically the estimated occurrences value and the last completed date for each service type, to determine when a piece of equipment is due for maintenance. The system uses parts and labor resource information from the model work order to determine future parts and labor requirements. The system also uses information from the Maintenance Rules File (F1393) to determine if a crew schedule should be created, and determines the work order coding information when the work order is created by the PM Update Status program (R12807).
When you set processing options for the Update PM Projections program (R13411), use forecast types (34/DF) to distinguish projections. For example, you can specify forecast types to distinguish manufacturing and maintenance projections. Within maintenance, you could specify forecast types to set up multiple projections based on:
Short-term planning.
Long-term planning.
Area, such as production line 1, line 2, and so on.
Planner.
This table describes the tables that the system updates when you run the Update PM Projections program:
