Rescheduling of Maintenance Plans After Changing the Strategy

Former Member

Dear Experts,

As per the business requirement, we need to change the maintenance strategy hierarchy in order to bring only the higher level package when the miantenance is due ignoring the lower level package.

I have updated the desired hierarchy in the strategy and a list of rescheduling objects are created.

In IP11U, there are couple of options:

  1. Restart in cycle after after last date
  2. Restart in cycle after next date

I want to know what will be the impact on each of this options and what precaution should be taken before going with any of this option., since we have thousands of maintenance plans.

I hope this won't affect the maintenance plans which are not scheduled yet.

If any body can provide the the complete list of activities it will be great.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Raj

If you have to change the strategy. The system will propose you to reschedule your calls.

-You could use Restart in cycle after last date option when the next maintenance calls and work will start with reference date equal to the last planned date. Example:

Last calls: (monthly)

Planned Date    -      Call Date

15.03.14                    01.03.14

15.04.14                    02.04.14

New change (bi-weekly)

Planned Date    -      Call Date

15.03.14                    01.03.14

15.04.14                    02.04.14

30.04.14                    23.04.14

-You could use Restart in cycle after next planned date option when the reference date will be the next planned date.

Last calls: (monthly)

Planned Date    -      Call Date

15.03.14                    01.03.14

15.04.14                    02.04.14

New change (bi-weekly)

Planned Date    -      Call Date

15.03.14                    01.03.14

15.04.14                    02.04.14

15.05.14                    02.04.14

30.05.14                    23.05.14

Depending on the maintenance team, you should select one option. Also you should test some plans before using IP30.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the quick response.

Actually i read the provided link prior to posting this question.

Based on that my doubt was:

  1. On which case we should use Restart in cycle after last date and
  2. On which case we should use Restart in cycle after next date
  3. After rescheduling, I hope should run IP30 for all those maintenance plans to generate updated maintenance order/ schedule.

Cheers,

Raj

Raj,

This is a relatively new transaction and I haven't tested it yet.. And I don't have time just now.

Try running some tests in a test-system. But the text seems to indicate that:
