PM Maintenance Planning - Task Hours Required

Hello All,
Our airport is using PM for their maintenance planning. We are currently building a new terminal and they are asking for a way to simulate/project the additional work hours that will be required for the additional equipment. We are only concerned with the maintenance hours required for tasks...not materials.
I've looked at IP19 but when I add the work hours/duration, the values are only populated for lines that have a work order created. Is there another report/method we can use to make headcount requirement projections?...maybe a workcenter capacity report????
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you,
Allison
Note: PM is a newer module for me...background is more in SD, WM, FI/CO...so I'll take all the help you can provide!!

Sorry...I realize now that I posted in the wrong forum. Reposted in EAM.

Maintenance Plan task loging

Hi all. I am creating a maintenance plan which may have mixture of T-SQL task and build-in task like reorg, rebuild tasks...
I would like to log each task output to seperate files. Is it possible to do so ?

Only by having different schedules for each task. That would give you several jobs and you can define an output file for each job. This is not, however, the same as the report file, which is the same for the whole plan.
If maint plans doesn't do what you want, then consider more powerful alternatives. I, for instance, use Ola's procedures at ola.hallengren.com.

Maintenance Plan - Tasks are not executing in the order they were created

I've created a new maintenance plan to perform differential backups but the tasks I created don't necessarily seem to execute in order all the time. These are the tasks and order assigned when I created the plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard:
Back Up Database (Differential)
Clean Up History
Maintenance Clean Up Task
Here's the deal...When it executes in the order they were created (above), all my old backups are deleted successfully. However, there have been instances where, for example, the Maintenance Clean Up task executes before the
Clean up History task. When this happens, only one of my backup files is deleted successfully but not the second (I have two .bak files needing to be removed). Furthermore, I noticed that the backup that wasn't deleted when it should
have gets deleted at the next increment when new backups are created.
Again, this does not happen when the tasks run in the sequence shown above. Only one old backup gets deleted (instead of two) when one of the above item is out of sequence. Strange behavior to say the least.
Any feedback on this will be appreciated!

If you do not set up precedence constraints it runs all tasks at the same time.

Plant Maintenance - Linkage between Task List and Maintenance Plan

Sir,
In Plant Maintenance, I have an equipment for which there are 9 maintenance activities that have to be performed every year. Out of these 4 activities will be carried out every month. 1 activity will be carried out during the months of February, June and October. 5 activities will be carried out only in the month of December.
I need to create Task List for all these activities and subsequently create Maintenance Plans for all these Task Lists.
Can I group all the 4 activites which will be carried out every month into one single Task List, with separate operation nos and time against each activity?. I don't know whether it is correct or not.
If I use the above method I can create 3 Task Lists for this particular equipment with same Group no and 3 Group Counters.
How to create Maintenance Plan for the above scenario?.
Eventhough, 4 activites are carried out every month and they have been grouped into a single Task List (Group counter 1) and if these activites are carried out on different dates within a month how can I create Maintenance Plan and subsequently create a Maintenance Order?.
I need some help in this regard. A detailed reply will be helpful.
Can anyone throw some light in this regard.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

you need to create one task list with a maintenance strategy with packages and hierarchy to outline the work requirements i.e. some tasks to be carried out 3 monthly some 4 monthly etc, and also if common tasks appear in 3 monthly package vs 4 monthly package then to suppress the duplicating task
you would then define a strategy based maintenance plan and run it to get the respective maintenance orders

Running Hours Base Maintenance Plan

Hi,
I have a scenario in which I need to create maintenance plan on running hours base. e.g. There is a generator which should be scheduled to plan according to 2000 running hours, 4K run hrs, 8K run hrs, 16K run hrs, ......
Now the tasks which are used in 2K plan will be repeated in 4K plan. and so on. How can I configure it in PM.
Kindly help, I shall be grateful to all.
Best Regards,
Ibne Khalil

First you will create a measruing point/counter for calculting the running hours. Now create a task list with maintenance strategies 2k, 4k, 8 k etc. now define the operations in the task list. In the maintebnance package define whcih operations you want to define for whcih operation. Suppose for 2k running hors you need only operation number 10, so select the maintenance package 2k only for operation 10. For 4k running hours you want operation 10 and 20 , then in maintenance package , for operation 10 select select 2k, and 4k and for operation number 20 selecct package 4k. SO operation 10 will come for 2k maintenance and also for 4 k maintenace and operation number 20 will only come for 4k running hours. Hope it will solve your problem.

Strategy in task list and Strategy based Maintenance Plan

Dear Gurus,
I have some doubt about
is it same if we create a single cycle plan with a task list in which maintenance strategy let say A is being used and a maintenance plan strategy based let say A and task list without any strategy
can some one explain use of strategy in task list and maintenance plan
Regards
Armaan

Hi,
In Strategy Based Plans :- When ur entering strategy in initial screen of IP42 then inside the plan system will allow u to select tasklists created with that strategy only ...
In Single Cycle Plans :- Here even though if u select tasklist of a particular strategy , system copies all the operations of the tasklist to the order...
From your above example :- Single Cycle Plan if cycle is monthly is equal to strategy based plan having only 1Month package .
further package in strategy allows u to select which operations of tasklist u want for 1Month..

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.

Maintenance plan search for no attached task list

Hello Experts!
I have tried searching for an answer to this to no avail. Is it possible to execute a search for maintenance plans that have no task list attached to them? I have tried IP15 thinking their would be a status to include or exclude but have had no luck. Any thoughts?
Thank you all for any help!

If suitable to you, you can get this information in scheduling overview from IP19 by
1.Selecting Tabular radio button
2. Giving Tasklist Type field value = blank as under.
Also try Tcode IP24 with point 2.

Preventive Maintenance Plan Material requirement forecast

Is there any way I get to know what whether the materials included in Tasklist of maintenance plan are available or not , Just like forecasting or material requirement planning.
Regards,

I dont think this is possible. You may have to extend the standard simulation program for scheduling to include the Components. You will also have to call the material availability check FM to analyse the demand for the required date.
Even then there is no guarantee for material availability when the Order is actually called.

I have a need to enable this program which was delivered in one of the enhancement packs. We have thousands of maintenance plans that need to be modified.
A couple of questions:
1) how do I activate as little as possible to allow me to use this program
2) With this enhancement activated, am I going to be putting myself on a new support pack line.

hi,
I just know go to transaction SFW5 to check whether all components required for the operation of system are activated (switched on). But I do not know exactly which component is affected for this function.
Hope it helps.
