Craft productivity is a key element for a successful maintenance operation. Measuring and improving Overall Craft Effectiveness (OCE) is an important component of a continuous reliability improvement process and total asset management.

PM Projection

The PM Projection feature allows you to view the PM work orders that will be generated in the future, based on their PM Schedules. To turn this feature on, first click the wrench icon to bring up the options menu. There, you’ll see “PM Projection” as one of your choices. Click it to put a check mark next to it and display the projected PM’s on the calendar, grouped by their assets. It can be turned off in the same way.

In this short video presentation Kevin Cronin reviews how to distribute PM's to assets in the PM Manager.

This session, provided by Product Support Specialist Steve Carbonetta, introduces the new Scheduling tool. This short introduction will give you the basics needed to become familiar with the tool and utilize its basic functionality.

Modifying Assignments

The visual representation of each assignment is made up of 2 boxes, which are, by default, two different shades of red. The larger outer box is the contact box. This shows the contact’s name and the total number of hours that are scheduled. The smaller inner box is the work order box. It displays the information on the work order that’s assigned to that contact. There can be several work orders inside one contact box.

1: Create 2 assignments for the same person, on the same day. They can be different work orders.

Viewing Work Orders

Another helpful feature is the ability to view your work orders on the calendar. To use this, go up to the wrench menu again and click “WO by Date.” A menu will come up, prompting you to choose a date field by which to organize the work orders.

1: Go to the wrench menu and click on "Color Settings." A window will appear, showing 6 different color boxes. Each represents the color of a part of a calendar item. You can change the colors of the inner and outer boxes on the assignments or work orders.
