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

•Used to manage larger projects with multiple assets/locations
•Used to generate a structure where work order can be assigned to various groups, departments and/or individuals

Examples:

  • Shutdown / turnaround “template”
  • Motor rewind



    • Routes

      •Used to generate a checklist for a large number of asset.
      •Work or procedure is relatively quick
      •Work history is required for each location/asset on the route
    • Examples:

    • Fire extinguisher inspection
    • Lube route

    Master PM

    •Large number of similar assets requiring the same preventive maintenance activities.
    •A large number of PM’s where there are benefits in controlling them together for operations reasons.

    Examples:

    • 50 identical motors or pumps
    • A section of the plant with varying operating seasons
