Exclude Unreleased and Completed Maintenance Work Order Demand from Min-Max Planning

In many maintenance organizations, repair work orders are often created well ahead of the actual maintenance date as part of a preventative maintenance program, or they're created and not actually used because repairs weren't required at that time. Alternatively, repairs could be completed without using all components assigned on the work order because they weren't needed. Then these work orders are moved to a completed status, but not closed out immediately in case additional repairs are required after a testing period, or so vendor invoices can be assigned after repairs are completed. In these instances, min-max planning still considers the maintenance work orders in an Unreleased or Completed status as valid open demand. This can quickly cause a significant overstocking of extraneous parts. Therefore, you need a way to decide if maintenance work orders in Unreleased or Completed status should be considered as demand for min-max planning. Now you have the option to exclude unreleased or completed maintenance work order demand from the min-max planning process.

Print Min-Max Planning Report

When running the Print Min-Max Planning Report process, two new parameters are available to control the exclusion of unreleased and completed maintenance work orders. By default, these values are set to No, retaining prior functionality.

This feature provides you better control of which maintenance work orders are considered valid demands for your min-max planning process.
