Common Fields Used in This Chapter

Assigned Hours

Review the hours assigned to an individual or a crew.

Available Hours

Review the total hours available for scheduled work during the schedule period. The system multiplies the available hours by the load percent to calculate the target hours to schedule.

Backlog

Review the list of all work that has not been completed. This includes both scheduled and unscheduled work that has not been completed.

Calculated Hours

Review the calculated hours for the crew and lead craft for the schedule period date range, which is derived using the Resource Master (P48310) and Resource Working Hours (P48307) setup information. The resource master for an individual employee defines the crew and lead craft with which he or she is associated. The resource working hours defines the individual's available hours.

Carryover Work

Review work orders scheduled to be completed in a previous schedule period that have not yet been completed. These work orders need to be rescheduled or returned to the unscheduled backlog.

Completed Hours

Enter the total hours completed by the crew during the schedule period.

Completed Scheduled Hours

Enter the total hours of scheduled work completed by the crew during the schedule period.

Craft

Enter the craft (trade) that is required to complete the task. When the task is scheduled, the crew and craft availability is reduced by the estimated hours on the task.

Labor Detail

Define the tasks required to complete the work, especially for larger jobs that require multiple crews and crafts and cross multiple schedule periods. The task contains planning information such as the task description, craft, estimated hours, and task status. Each work order typically has only one task; however, larger jobs might require multiple tasks.

Load % (load percent)

Review the portion of the available hours that will be considered for scheduling work. The load percent should be set to provide a realistic target for the crew to achieve.

Schedule Compliance

Review the percentage of estimated hours scheduled that was completed, divided by the total estimated hours scheduled to be completed in the same period. It is a measure of the crew's ability to complete the work scheduled during the schedule period. This value is typically represented by a percentage and will always be less than or equal to 100 percent. The closer the percentage to 100, the better the performance for the time period.

Schedule Dates

Enter the dates when the work is currently scheduled to be completed. These dates are recorded on the crew schedule record in the Resource Assignment Detail table (F48311).

Scheduled Hours

Enter the total hours scheduled by the crew during the schedule period.

Schedule Pattern

Enter a code used to specify a schedule pattern used in maintenance scheduling. For example, M could represent a weekly scheduling pattern starting on Monday with a 7-day period; 2 could represent biweekly with a 14-day period. The number of days used for display and processing is defined in the special handling code of UDC 13/SP (Schedule Pattern). The schedule pattern is associated with a crew to determine the scheduling periods tied to the crew when you are defining availability and scheduling work.

Schedule Period

Review the date range covering the maintenance scheduling periods. Current, Next and Following schedule periods are typically used when scheduling and cover the work currently being processed and the next two scheduling periods being developed. Typically, a schedule period is defined as a week (Monday to Sunday). However, schedule periods are user-defined and can include any number of days necessary to meet the needs of the organization.
