Using Maximo’s Master PM’s and PM Hierarchies

Usage / Definitions

Master PM –Used to control or update PM records. When used with a “Rotating Item” the PM can create PM records for all equipment associated with the item.

PM Hierarchy –Used to group PM’s into Parent-Child relationships. When the PM Hierarchy is generated the same Parent-Child relationships will be maintained for the work orders generated.

Route-A route is a list of related assets or locations. A route generates a Work Order Hierarchy.

PM Hierarchy
