Preserve Meter Based PM Target Date Visibility After WO Generation

We propose preserving the next work order projections after the work order has been generated, and until that work order has been completed. In the PM application, Next Work Order Projections are cleared when meter-based PMs generate work orders. Next Work Order Projections are shown on the Meter-Based Frequency tab of the Frequency tab of the PM application and include:

• pmmeter.readingatnextwo

• pmmeter.unitstogo (non-persistent)

• pmmeter.dateofnextwo (non-persistent)

Forms of these values should continue to be visible in the PM application as "redline" measures until the work has been completed. We understand that the reasoning behind clearing these values is that the newly-generated work order is the “Next Work Order” that was projected, so now the projections need to be cleared until the asset returns to service. Also, clearing the data in that section allows PMWOGen to properly generate meter-based work orders.

However, PM work orders are usually generated prior to removing the asset from service, using pmmeter.tolerance and/or pm.leadtime, for the purpose of purchasing related materials and scheduling labor. So once the work order exists, the asset can continue to cycle until pmmeter.readingatnextwo + pmmeter.tolerance (the “redline” date) before the PM needs to be completed. But as Maximo is currently designed, pmmeter.readingatnextwo is unknown after the new work order has generated, so we have no way to know what the redline date is as it approaches. As a result, critical regulatory and risk management timeframes can be missed without resort to tracking systems external to Maximo.
