Context
An industrial site found inconsistencies in the generation of preventive orders and a difficulty in interpreting maintenance indicators. The plans existed, but the cycles and sequences did not always reflect the expected maintenance strategy.
Challenge
Preventive orders were generated with sequences that were difficult to explain. The teams made manual corrections and confidence in maintenance planning decreased.
Intervention
The analysis focused on strategies, cycles, planes, technical objects, routings and generation rules. The differences between SAP logic, business intention and shop floor practices have been formalized.
Deliverables
Plan analysis matrix, cycle review, risk list, correction recommendations and principles of preventive governance.
Expected result
The approach made it possible to distinguish the problems of configuration, governance and user understanding, in order to secure future cycles.
Points to Remember
- Compare business intention and system logic.
- Test the sequences on long horizon.
- Put into governance the changes of plans.
SAP PM preventive maintenance must be reviewed regularly, as it combines configuration, industrial strategy and shop-floor reality.
