PM procedure

A general procedure for performing preventive maintenance work, such as changing a filter or inspecting an alarm system. Once you define a PM procedure, you can assign it to particular equipment items or areas that require the periodic maintenance described in the procedure.

For example, you can define a procedure for changing air filters and then assign it to all equipment items that require air filter changes. For each equipment item to which you assign the procedure, you can define the interval at which to perform the work.

PM procedures are composed of individual steps. When you use the system's PM work order generation features, the system uses the properties of the PM procedure and its assigned steps to generate a work request for a PM work order. The system generates one work request for each step of a PM procedure. To minimize the number of generated work requests, you can develop PM procedures composed of only one step.
