Maintain Part Program – A summary of the activity

The part program is used primarily in the bulk creation of component maintenance programs across part numbers or serial numbers. Though the part program has the facility to identify both work units for different maintenance types and the schedules against each maintenance activity, it is not necessary that the schedules have to be identified. The work units can be identified and copied to various part numbers or serial numbers, and the schedules can be defined later at the part number or serial number level.

The part program is identified by the part number itself as each part number can have only one part program. The part program is created in the “Fresh” status. Once the program is confirmed, it gets copied to the serial number under the parts (if no component maintenance program exists already) as the component maintenance program.

Once copied, the program can only be modified at the individual part number or serial number level to which it got attached. In this activity you can select the part and define/modify the maintenance program for the part.

Record date-based and usage-based schedules

The schedules define the interval for the execution of each work unit. One time and recurring date-based schedules can be defined. The schedules can be date-based or usage-based. Date-based schedules have their periodicity defined in terms of calendar days. The schedule for the next performance of the maintenance activity will be specified in terms of a calendar date. Updation basis with the values “Last Performed Date” and “ Installation Date”, is set as reference in scheduling.

• Use the “Edit Date-based Schedule Information” page to define the date-based schedule for the work package.

Usage-based schedules are dependent on the usage of the component and are based on the consumption parameters of the component. The schedule for the next performance of a maintenance activity will be specified in terms of the value for one or more consumption parameters (FH, FC etc).

• Use the “Edit Usage-based Schedule Information” page to define the usage-based schedule for the work package.

Define multiple resources and parts for the work units included in the maintenance program

• Use the “Estimate Material Requirement” page to enter the parts required to execute the work package.

• Use the “Estimate Resource Requirement – Facilities” page to enter resources of the equipment or tools type required for executing the work package.

• Use the “Estimate Resource Requirement – Skills” page to enter resources of the skills type required for executing the work package.

Preclude work units

You can preclude a work unit that is superfluous. A work unit becomes superfluous when a work unit of higher-level maintenance is allocated to a part program. The precluded work unit will not be executed.

• Specify the filter criteria to search for the superfluous work unit.

• Click the “Search” pushbutton.

• Select one work unit in the “Precluded Work Unit Details” multiline.

• Click the “Preclude Work Unit” pushbutton, to preclude the work unit selected in the multiline.
