Effective scheduled maintenance is the best way to reduce short and long term operating
costs. It needs to be dynamic.
Maintenance must fit into production schedules, reflect changes in operating
conditions, and the outcomes of repair and breakdown work.
CPM's Scheduled Maintenance gives you the flexibility to do this.
Choose from fixed or floating schedules, quick work issue and close, or a more detailed
approach with Work Order integration. No matter what method you choose, audit trails are
generated in History.
You can forecast maintenance to any future date for a detailed schedule of equipment
availability, to budget labour requirements and minimise inventory holdings.
 | Schedules Templates |
 | Release and close |
 | Maintenance Forecasts. |
 | Maintenance selected at the plant, component or sub component level. |
 | Up to 100 different indicators to trigger jobs. |
 | On screen sequencing by plant and component, or by date due. |
 | Inspections can be triggered from Condition Monitoring. |
 | Fixed intervals; when scheduling takes place at determined times, irrespective of when
the last job was actually done. i.e. jobs with 1,000 SMU intervals will always take place
at 1,000, 2000, 3000 SMU's etc. This is important for statutory inspections, or: |
 | Floating intervals; when the periods between jobs remains constant. Hence, if a schedule
runs 100 SMU over the period, the next is scheduled at another 1,000, instead of 900
SMU's. This means that the schedule will drift relative to a Fixed one. |
 | Links to maintenance templates for job instructions. Optional links to multiple job
instructions i.e for combining inspections with generic Condition Monitoring instructions. |
Jobs can be incorporated in another. i.e. a 1,000 SMU job will incorporate a 500 and
250. Lower level jobs are not released, but their templates can be included in the main
job. They will be tagged as Incorporated, and will be closed and rescheduled when the main
job is closed.
Tasks can be arranged by component code, allowing changes to the order in which they
appear when multiple templates are used. Tasks on the same component appear together.
Tasks can be excluded from Incorporation. Some tasks, on different schedules, will be
mutually exclusive. The system includes a switch to exclude lower level tasks.
Scheduling by SMU is determined by the average weekly usage, maintained in the
Asset Register.
 | Batch or on screen releasing. |
 | Batch releases can be general (i.e. all schedules for a period) or specific (i.e. for
certain plant, for a different time interval). |
 | Any schedule can be released by a push button or hot key. |
 | With formal work, jobs are created in the Work Order module and closed as a normal
Work Order. Corresponding scheduling files are updated when the Work Order Closing batch
routine is run. This allows full costing. |
 | Informal Work Orders are produced and closed within the Scheduled Maintenance module.
History records are written, but only estimated costs are used. |
 | Quick close option for informal Work Orders. |
 | Optional format allowing plant components to be scheduled independent of each other.
i.e. if engine oil is changed prematurely, it can be rescheduled as a floating, rather
than fixed interval compared to other components on the asset. |
 | Arranged by plant and component, or maintenance group. |
 | Trades and rosters. |
 | Work centres or locations. |
 | Special instructions for safety procedures and tooling. |
 | Estimated downtime, sub contract, labour, parts and consumables cost. |
 | Outline, Summary and Detailed instructions. |
 | Up to 1,000 tasks per template, with up to 640 characters per line. |
 | Trade specifications. |
 | Estimated duration. |
 | Lists and quantities. |
 | Lookups and links to Inventory, Supply and APL's. |
 | Forecasting:
 | Extrapolate schedules to any future date. |
 | Generates a list of work by month and plant. |
 | Forecasts labour, parts usage and plant availability requirements. |
