Maintenance Planning Plant

The maintenance planning plant of a technical object is the plant in which the
maintenance tasks for the object are planned and prepared. Maintenance planner groups
work at the maintenance planning plant to plan and prepare the maintenance tasks for
the plants that are assigned to the maintenance planning plant. The following activities
are performed at the maintenance planning plant:

Definition of task lists

Material planning based on bills of material in task lists and orders
Management and scheduling of maintenance plans
Creation of maintenance notifications
Execution of maintenance orders

You represent the organization of maintenance planning in your company depends on the
structure of the entire company. You have three options:
Centralized Maintenance Planning
Decentralized Maintenance Planning
Partially Centralized Maintenance Planning

In a centralised model you will have one Maintenance Planning Plant planning
maintenance and tasks for more than one Plant in a physical location

A decentralised maintenance planning model will usually mean that one Maintenance
Planning Plant is used to plan tasks in one Maintenance Plant and also this usually
corresponds to one Logistics Plant. In other words, in a decentralised model, the
maintenance processing, planning and listing tasks, inventory - happen in the same
organizational unit and in the same geographical/physical location.

In partially decentralized, then there would be Maintenance Planning Plants, looking

after a few Maintenance Plants each.

Business Process & master data Impacts:

a) Material Planning based on maintenance task lists and maintenance order.
b) Management and scheduling of maintenance plans.
c) Creation of maintenance notifications
d) Performance of maintenance orders
e) Location-wise analyses on different performance parameters like costs,
downtime's, breakdowns etc. Are possible at the Planning Plant level.
f) Definition of technical objects, maintenance task lists etc.
Catalog profile is combination of catalog groups such as object parts, damage, cause, activities,
tasks, etc. Catalog profile helps you to perform Root Cause Analysis in maintenance
notifications. Once codes are set, you can then run PMIS reports also to perform damage
analysis.

This is the further details in the Maintenance Prospective of various parts, reason of
failures, probable solutions, and activities to be done on the Technical Object. Which
can be recorded in Maintenance Notifications and later can be used as historical data
to do the various maintenance analysis. The process of creation are as below

Locations: Location is a place in a maintenance plant at which a technical object is

physically located

Plant section: Plant sections are processing units/ production areas within a
maintenance plant. These are subdivision of maintenance plants. Machines or sets of
machines that are represented in the system as pieces of equipment or functional
locations are installed in plant sections.

Maintenance planner groups: A group of employees responsible for planning

and processing maintenance tasks in a plant. Planner groups or Maintenance Planner
groups must be defined separately for each planning plant.

FUNCTIONAL LOCATION:
A functional location represents the place at which a maintenance task is to be
performed.

For some technical objects certain regulations or conditions must be taken into account
when using them or performing maintenance work. These regulations are managed in
the system as permits.
