Scheduling Dates
Preventive maintenance visits are calculated by taking the length of the contract in days and dividing it by the number of PM visits requested for the covered item. The system then back-schedules the visits starting from the end date of the contract.
Calculating Schedule Dates
This figure illustrates a contract that starts on 1/1/08 and ends on
12/31/08. Four PM visits are requested.
1 The system divides the contract length in days by number of visits.
365/4 = 91
2 Then, starting from the last day of coverage, the system back-schedules visit dates at approximate 91-day intervals. This would result in calls scheduled for March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.
