Maintenance Planning with Cycles of Different Dimensions

Hello All,
I am having trouble finding the solution for the following requirement in PLM310 "Maintenance Planning with Cycles of Different Dimensions": I am having trouble creating a maintenance strategy that can handle both time and measurement.
SImple version of the requirement: perform car maintenance every three months OR 3000 miles, whichever comes first.
I can see where SAP can handle multiple counters, but where I can mix time and performance measurements.
Thank you all for your help in advance.
Alex

Hi,
You can achive this in two ways.
1. If you have strategy only as you mentioned 3Months or 3000 miles then you can use T code IP43 Multiple counterplan.
2. Is you create cycle sets in IP11Z tcode and use them as like strategy. In this typr you can maintain different UOM.

  • Maintenance Plan with Counter

    Dear All,
    I have the following requirement, would be of great help if you can help me get the solution:
    Their is a pump which is to be maintained. The orders need to be generated on the basis of two parameters:
    1. Number of hours the pump has ran. This can be recorded against measuring point.
    2. Number of calendar days elapsed.
    The maintenance order should be created which ever condition is met first. For example: Every 200 hrs the pump runs, a maintenance order should be created also if the time elapsed is 2 months the order should be created. Now whatever of the above two comes first the order should be created against that only.
    Can anyone please tell how to achieve this.
    I have thought of two options though they dont look good:
    Option 1: Create two maintenance plan. Delete/TECO the extra order generated.
    Option 2: Create one maintenance plan with multiple counters, one for running hours and the other for calendar days. Keep OR relation. But here we need to update calendar days counter every day which is not feasible.
    Thanks

    Hi...
    First of all you have to create the Measuring Counter for your Pump using the T.code IK01 and then post the initial measurement  document against the measuring counter using T.code IK11.
    After above create the Cycle set for Multiple counter using T.Code IP11Z, and define the Cycle for your Multiple Counter Plan.
    In your condition, define the cycle length as "2" and UOM as "MON" and second cycle length as "200" and UOM as "HRS" and also provide the short text for Cycle short text as per you convenience. This is one time activity.
    Then create the Multiple counter Plan using the T.Code IP43 and cycle set created in earlier step. Provide the Technical Object i.e. Pump (Most probably Equipment) all other details are copied from it. Enter the created Measuring Counter for your Technical Object in the Maintenance Plan Cycle Tab against the 200 Hrs Row in Counter Columns. In the Second Tab i.e. Maintenance Plan scheduling parameter Choose "OR" Link . Enter the value Scheduling Period which help you to show the future plan in advance.
    And as per requirement you can also check the box  available for Completion Requirement, Check the box if you required that New Maintenance Order  will not be generate until the previous order is get closed.
    Hope this will resolve your query

  • Segregating maintenance plan with reference to planner group & cycle.

    Hi,
    There is no relationship or filed which directly u can get like planner gr,section etc. One way  can use is use filed named as Maint Plan Sort Field. Provide here some details after making proper codification through Customeriastion.
    One way Like Maint plant + Planner Gr = Maint Plan Sort.
    Attach appropriate sort filed in each plan then with ip10,1p30,1p19,ip24 u can retrive the information.

  • Counter based maintenance plan triggered improperly

    Hi,
    we have created one counter based maintenance plan with cycle unit 1000 hours  offset unit 0 hours this plan was created on 21.04.2008 . But 68 orders triggered on 19.04.2011 why it was happend.
    how find start of cycle reading  for the Maintenance plan?
    Regards
    Ganesh

    Hi,
    Counter based plan will work based on the Measuring point assigned to that.
    In Measuring Point, you would have defined the Annual Estimate. Based on the Annual Estimate & Cycle value in Plan & Scheduling period in the plan, based on all these, call object would be generated.

  • Single Maintenance plan creation for multiple equipemnts with different cyc

    Dear Experts,
    I had a following scenario to map in PM module. can anybody guide me to map this process?
    we had no.of equipments under one functional location and will go through preventive maintenance on yearly basis. For this, i will create the single cycle yearly maintenance plan which comprices of maintenance items, which is fine. out of these equipments some of the equipments will go for routine maintenance like quarterly, half-yearly, tri-quarterly. user want to club these scenarios also in single preventive maintenance plan. when we scdule this plan, system has to deliver monthly orders and as well as yearly orders from single preventive maintenance plan.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Krishna

    Hi Krishna Murthy,
    It can be acheived in the following Manner.
    Create a Strategy say "Test" with Packages 1M, 2M,Q,H,Y packages.
    Create 5(say) Equipment Task Lista for each of the 5 Equipment at that FL.
    1st Task List will have Operations related to say Monthly(1M), Quartely(Q), yearly (Y)
    2nd Task List will have Operations related to say Monthly(1M), Quartely(H), yearly (Y)
    And so on... as per Business Requirement.
    Now create a Maintenance Plan with 5 maintenance Items with respective Task Lits.
    Now Schedule the Plan and give the Last Completion date as the Yearly package (A date one year less than the day you wanetd the yearly plan).
    Then check the calls.

  • Strategy plan with package to be executed only once

    Hi All,
    Created a time based maintenance plan with strategy. Included 4 maintenance packages in the strategy. One of the maintenance package should be executed only once upon scheduling the maint. plan and should be due on the date on scheduling.
    What scheduling parameters are to be maintained?
    Regards,
    Abhijit

    Hi Abhijeet,
                      The Functionality of Offset is actually different.
    Suppose you procure a new Equipment, you have erected and comissioned, but the use will anly after 3 months as the predessing and subsequent Equipment needs some time for the Erection and comissioning, in this case, you maintenance plans should start after 3 months only,
    for this reason the Offsetting Field is used.
    that is if you maintain the offseting of 3 months then the cycle will start after 3 months.
    it means that if today is 20th December and you have a cycle frequency of 1 month and you give the offseting for 3 months then your plan will be only activated from 20th march,and the first order will be generated 1 month(cycle period) after that.
    that is 20th April.
    Hope it further clarifies your doubt.

    No, its not possible. Scheduling can be done only at maintenance plan level.

  • Counter in Maintenance Plan

    Dear All,
    i´m not sure. Is it advisable to use a own counter for each maintenance plan and is it better to create a own performance-based maint. plan for each equipment?
    Thanks for your help!
    Andreas

    Actually, it depends on your requirement. A counter is created for an equipment and when you create a maintenance plan with performance based units in the cycle, the counter is automatically proposed from the equipment master data based on the unit mentioned in the cycle or performance based strategy.
    You can create a single maintenance plan for multiple equipments using multiple maintenance items but for this, you need to ensure that all of the performance based units are the same for all equipments and the cycle length/strategy cycles is the same for all such equipments.

  • Counter Base Maintenance plan.

    Hi all,
    I had created counter base maintenance plan, speciefied equipment,in equipment maintained measuring point.

    Now my question is is there any need to shedule maintenance plan?
    Please tell me process of counter base maintenance plan.

    Hi
       Maint plan for coutner
               Create the maintenance plan with maintenance strategy(IP11) which suits the performance parameter. Assign proper maintenance item to maintenance plan.
    If only one measurement point is created for technical object then it will be automatically picked up otherwise select appropriate among the available once. Set the scheduling parameter according to requirement & specify the start reading. Start reading is in reference to which maintenance plan starts scheduling.
    Example: Maintenance cycle is 90 run hrs., Start reading is 6 hrs and annual estimation given in measurement point = 360 Hrs (1hrs/day). Scheduling period = 365 day. Current Measuring point reading = 1 hrs on 1st Jan 06.
    Schedule plan on 1st Jan 06.
    Call no.     @Hrs     @Date
    1     6+90=96     1st April 06
    2     96+90 = 186     1st July.
    System schedule call date based on annual estimation and its keep on shifting as counter reading increases with time. System will trigger the call object on schedule date even if measurement reading will not reach the specified value.
    Scheduling of maintenance plan
    Once maintenance plan is created it needs to be scheduled at regular interval. Single plan can be scheduled by IP10 and Multiple plan by IP30. (Called Deadline monitoring) This can be done manually or batch job can be created.
    hope this will help. also please refere saphelp.com for further info

    Sara,
    You could do this without user-exits...
    Create a factory calendar with two working days. Then create a maintenance plan with a package of 1 day.
    Once scheduled it should produce the required maintenance cycles.
    There are two things you need to be very careful about:
    1. Keep the factory calendars updated, say, 3 years into the future
    2. Ensure you comprehensively test the IP30 transaction

  • Maintenance plan every 3 hours

    hi all,
    i need to configure a maintenance plan with ip41 but i need to make its cycle 3 hours, i mean 4 times a day, system warns me that smallest cycle can be 24 hours? what can i do?
    how can i configure system that creates maintenance notif every 3 hours?
    thanks

    Hii
    It is possible to plan a cycle more than once in a day. This can be catered by using Single Cycle Maintenance Plan.
    1. First make Measurement Counter ( with DAYS Characteristics ) with respect to any reference object and also make its measurement documents.
    2. Then goto single cycle plan. Select the cycle unit of  like 3 Hr and also select a counter of days in the same plan.
    3. Only if you select the Counter of days it will allow you to select a cycle less than 24 hr ok.
    4. Now you can schedule the plan and it ll generate the orders with the interval of 3 hrs.
    Hope that helps. For any further clarification feel free to contact.
    Regards
