Using Job Plans and Preventive Maintenance in Maximo 7.5 guide will introduce you on creating job plans and preventive maintenance records for periodic maintenance and inspections to be performed on an asset. This guide will also discuss on how to associate Job Plans to Preventive Maintenance. This enables users to automatically generate work orders for the maintenance of all assets and locations in a scheduled time.
Maximo Job Plans will help end users to create an organized approach for future work activities. These serve as templates for future work activities that are done regularly or repetitively.
Job Plans when created have an initial status of DRAFT. This status needs to be changed to ACTIVE status before it can be used on a Work Order or associated with Preventive Maintenance Record. A job plan record may be used countless times by inputting the Job Plan number in the Job Plan field of Work Order Tracking, or by associating it with a Preventive Maintenance record. The Preventive Maintenance record will be used to generate periodic Work Orders. Using Job Plan records will help users save time, since users don’t need to manually enter the operating steps, planned labor, and material resources each time a PM work order was generated.

Instead of listing individual task in a job plan, you can use the nested job plans option which will enable you to add a job plan record that contains tasks needed for the associated job plan. This is a useful feature in a job plan as it will save time for the users to load Job Plans for assets with different build types. For example, your Organization has a default sets for cleaning air conditioners. However, cleaning of other brands may require additional unique steps to properly check the unit.
In the example below, Task 30 is to check Freon level. A job plan for HVAC System Inspection is nested into Task 30.
When the created job plan that contains nested job plan record is included to a Work Order, the main tasks will be included on the primary Work Order. A Child Work Order record will be created which contains the steps for HVAC System Inspection.
Preventive Maintenance (PM) records are used to generate preventive maintenance work orders. Job plans can be incorporated in a preventive maintenance record. This is commonly used on assets and locations that require periodic maintenance to maximize the performance and avoid untimely failures. This is necessary for Organization to extend useful life of their assets and locations.

Scheduling of PM Work on most assets can be done on a date driven basis, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. For other assets, usage function can be used to schedule a preventive maintenance work. Maximo 7 also supports dual triggers. For example, a car requires an oil change every 3 months or 5000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Maximo will generate a work order record for a preventive maintenance work once the car reached the 5000 kilometers or 3 months whichever comes first.
This controls the timing of Work Order generation under the selected PM record. There are 2 types of frequency that can be used:
1.Time Based Frequency – This can be used when you need to schedule the generation of Work Order generation by calendar unit. Choices include days, months, weeks, years.
2.Meter Based Frequency – Generation of Work Order will be based on meter readings.
PM Work Orders can be generated automatically or manually. In able to generate it automatically, there is a Cron Task available which is called PMWoGenCronTask. Maximo user with administrative privilege can schedule the generation of PM Work Order using the Cron Task Setup. Once the Cron Task is activated, Maximo will begin to execute the process depending on the schedule setup.
