Hi Experts,
Seeking advise on the grouping of maintenance items into a maintenance plan into PM.
I want to understand, what is the basis/factors to be considered here while grouping several maintenance items under one maintenance plan. In my scenario, there are Approx. 100K equipment existing. It's not feasible to create one plan for every equipment. Hence
1. We can identify multiple similar equipment (say 5 KW DC motors of same kind) and create item for one of these. Rest all equipment can be defined as Object list items. here we will define one maintenance item for these-- > say ITEM-1
2. Similarly we can create ITEM-2,3,4... Now I want to assign these items under a maintenance plan. I want to know....
(A) What is the criterion for selecting the ITEM here under a particular plan ? Can it be the same start date of the maintenance cycle means all items having similar start date can be assigned under one plan?
(B) How to take care the case of a big equipment , having many arms (equipment), whose maintenance need to be taken care on different dates. Can we make a single plan for such big equipment and assign all small equipment by creating separate Items. If yes...how to take care the different dates.
Please advise...
Regards
Denny
