Types of Preventive Maintenance Schedules

AssetOptics provides multiple preventive maintenance scheduling methodologies.

1. Calendar-based fixed interval PM Schedules where the Due Date for the next PM Work Order is determined by adding the PM Schedule Calendar Interval to the Due Date of the prior PM Work Order.
2. Calendar-based floating interval PM Schedules where the Due Date for the next PM Work Order is determined by adding the PM Schedule Calendar Interval to the Completion Date of the prior PM Work Order.
3. Meter based PM Schedules where the Meter Scheduling Interval is added to the Meter Reading at Work Order Completion for the prior PM Work Order to derive the PM Due Meter Reading Value; i.e. at what meter reading will the next PM Work Order be due. As meter readings are entered, Meter Based Projected Due Date is extrapolated.  You may also specify a Calendar Interval to invoke the “earlier of” the calendar based due date, or the meter based due date.
4. PM Group Scheduling where you can establish a hierarchy of Model Work Orders so that the “parent” PM Work Order suppresses the “child” PM Work Order.  For example, an annual PM Work Order (12 months) will suppress a quarterly PM Work Order (3 months) that in turn suppresses a monthly PM Work Order
5. PM Routes provide an alternative to PM Schedules and PM Group Schedules.  While the latter two enable the creation of a single Work Order linked to a single Asset Tag, PM Routes provides the ability to associate a single Work Task to many Assets along Route Stops and automatically create parent/child Work Orders for the Route and Route Stops.  The user interacts with the parent (Route) Work Order while the child (Route Stop) work orders are recorded to the Asset’s Work Order history.
