MaximoŽ Preventive Mantenance Forecast Utility
                             
MaximoŽ is a trademark of IBM

Preventive Maintenance (PM) is the key to a smooth running operation.  MaximoŽ has very powerful PM capabilities, but it is a bit of a chore to get a good handle as to the future requirements to support the PM efforts.  This tool dramatically assists in that task.

The standard AutoSoft interface is employed to allow the user to focus in on only those systems that are under the user's control.  Yellow cells allow for free text entry, and multiple blue cells can be selected by right clicking on them and turning them green.
 
                           
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
Note how this combination of filters, Worktype = "PM", Site = "GG", Classification = "LEVEL_1" will result in 1,263 records from the total data set of 85,451.  Also note how the program estimates that it will take 1 minute 32 seconds to generate the report.  This is calculated after one sets the desired filters and one clicks the light blue button.  Clicking the dark blue button starts the report generation process.  Ths screen appears giving the user step by step feedback on the report generation process:  
 
             
The Report has several worksheets, the first one lists all of the PMs that are scheduled:
                             
 
                           
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
                             
These Maximo fields are included in the report:                            
  PM Nbr Units Eqpt / Location Frequency  
  PM Description Last Start Date Manufacturer Last Reading  
  JP Nbr Next Date Model Nbr Last PM WO Gen Read

The PM Projection worksheet provides a month-by-month projection of the PM work orders that are scheduled.  Note how the comment field in each cell provides additional information.  There are 3 choices for display: Labor Hours, Job Plan Duration Hours, and Labor Cost.  The "EXPORT COMMENTS OF ACTIVE CELL" builds a stand alone Excel worksheet with the comments listed to allow the user to work further with them.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                         
Clicking on the "PLUS" sign reveals additional fields of information.  The total field list on this report is:   PM Nbr Classification Asset Location

The PM Projection Chart gives a monthly breakdown of the requirements.  Note in this example, they better reschedule some of their work or bring in some contractors during January each year :)
 
                 
                   
                   
                   
                   
                   
                   
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
                       
The Parts Projection worksheet gives a listing of all parts required for the scheduled PMs with a monthly breakdown of requirements.  The comment field provides details as to what job plans are consuming the parts.  The parts are color coded to indicate if there are sufficient quantities available on site or anywhere in the company to complete the PM.  As can be seen, the part X05085 in row 30 requires 21 on the first month of this report, however one will have to move these parts from a different facility.  Row 33 has enough parts in the short term but more will be needed in the future.  Row 36 has plenty of parts for all of the PMs for the duration of this report.
