Maintenance Planning<\/h1>\n

Maintenance Planners typically use a CMMS to plan a course of action to maintain or repair equipment.\u00a0 Included in these tasks are: planning, scheduling, and gathering the parts and tools required to work on the asset.\u00a0 In this process, parts are selected from a material master or a bill of material (BOM) and added to a work order.<\/p>\n

Maintenance planning without visual BOMs<\/h2>\n

Identifying parts and adding to work orders in the CMMS is a surprisingly difficult task for several reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Part numbers have no visual reference<\/li>\n
  2. Out of date OEM parts books<\/li>\n
  3. Part-related information is difficult to find<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All in all, these issues cause significant delays to maintenance, increased wrench time, significant supply chain costs, and resource drain.<\/p>\n

    1. No Visual Reference<\/h3>\n

    When selecting parts for maintenance planning, it is critical to avoid errors.\u00a0 Errors occur when incorrect parts are ordered and lead to delays in wrench time, additional MRO costs, and possible delays to other maintenance activities which require the incorrect part.\u00a0 Without a visual reference, maintenance planners are much more likely to incur errors.\u00a0 To avoid this, they often undergo an intensive process of locating the OEM part book and finding the part number manually.\u00a0 This process can take significant time, and opens up the door for more errors due to;<\/p>\n

    2. Obsolete OEM parts books<\/h3>\n

    Throughout the lifecycle of an asset, part numbers are changed by the equipment manufacturer (supersessions) and engineers often swap out components and parts.\u00a0 These changes are often not captured and reflected in OEM parts books, which means the visual reference for part numbers becomes invalid.<\/p>\n

    3. Part-related information is difficult to find<\/h3>\n

    Once a part is identified, maintenance planners need to locate additional information; reserved\/unreserved stock on hand, warehouse information, order on quantity, and more.\u00a0 It takes significant time finding the part and then navigating through SAP, JD Edwards, Oracle, or any other CMMS to gather the required information.<\/p>\n

    Visual BOMs for Maintenance Planning<\/h2>\n

    The most efficient maintenance planning organizations employ visual BOMs to accurately identify parts and quickly add them to work orders.\u00a0 When deployed and maintained correctly, Visual BOMs:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Provide critical visual reference to part numbers within the CMMS<\/li>\n
    2. Accurately capture supersessions<\/li>\n
    3. Quickly locate additional information<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
