Production Driven Maintenance
Overview
PM scheduling can be based on calendars, events, DUOM, or a combination of the three. Equipment DUOM readings can be manually entered as described in this user guide. See
Defining the DUOM for Equipment Readings.
Production driven maintenance lets you align PM scheduling based on actual equipment usage or production hours. You can use production driven maintenance in the following ways:
• Create mappings between EAM equipment and ERP production work centers, machines, and tooling, or between EAM equipment and ERP items. Equipment mapping allows ERP shop floor operation activity to automatically update the equipment DUOM.
• Automatically load production hours directly into equipment from a data file.
• Load data into equipment DUOM based on a third-party source for operational data, CIM Load.
If you use any of these approaches to load equipment DUOM data, equipment usage drives PM schedule frequency. This method of maintenance scheduling minimizes the potential for unplanned and costly downtime, and greatly reduces the effort required to manually enter DUOM readings in equipment used for PM scheduling.
