Jobplan sequence: A B C A B C

From: beat.keller (2015-09-22 02:11)

Hi all

I have 3 jobplans and each of them have different jobtasks.

Jobplan A : Tasks to do after 2 Month
Jobplan B : Tasks to do 2 Month after A
Jobplan C : Tasks to do 2 Month after B

I want to create a pm with a jobplan sequence that generates after 2 Month a workorder with jobplan A, then 2 month later a wo with jobplan B, and again 2 month later a wo with jobplan C.
After another 2 month it should generate a wo with jobplan A, after that a wo with jobplan B and so on.

What I want is a Sequence A B C A B C A B C ….

But when I create a pm with jobplan sequence A=1, B=2, C=3 than I get a sequence A B C B A C A B C

How can I get the sequence A B C A B C …?

What if You create 3 jobplan and 1 PM with sequence 1, 2, and 3 with
frequency every 2 months.


From: emptybinkid (2015-09-22 03:49)

You are trying to assign them an incorrect sequence; 1,2,3.
Maximo job plan sequencing takes the Counter (PM.PMCOUNTER) value and tries to divide it using the sequence (JOBPLAN.INTERVAL) value, from highest to lowest. The first successful division answer=the job plan executed.
In your example, you are running a PM set to a 2 MONTHS frequency. When you get to the fourth cycle you expect it to run job plan A. But taking the counter (4) and dividing it by your sequences (3, 2, 1) results in success at 2, and job plan B is executed.
This is counter-intuitive, but change your PM Frequency to 1 MONTHS.
Change your Job Plan Sequences to A=2, B=4 AND C=6.

Hi Juniko
Thank you for your answer, but ...
... I created already 1 PM and 3 Jobplans with sequence 1,2 and 3.
And this will result in: A B C B A C A B C

Hi emptybinkid
Good idea, but ...
... unfortunately, it is not possible to create jobplan sequences where NOT exists one Jobplan with sequence = 1

@swissmaximo, what version are you referring to? I can set one up like that in 7.1.x


From: peter.males (2015-09-23 04:59)


Hi,

easiest thing to do is to create 3 separate PM schedules at 6 month intervals, with start dates 2 months apart.
Set the dates so that they do not re-schedule based on completions.


From: peter.males (2015-09-23 07:26)

Each of these PM's would only have a single Job Plan, no sequence.
PM_A would run in, for example January & July and use JobPlan_A
PM_B would run in March & September and use JobPlan_B
PM_C would run in May & November and use JobPlan_C

this would givie

January - JobPlan_A
March - JobPlan_B
May - JobPlan_C
July - JobPlan_A
September - JobPlan_B
November - JobPlan_C

IBM sent me a solution to this but I am away at the moment and do not have access to it. Have to reset counter after the third JP.

I like Peter's idea. That should work well and be pretty bullet-proof. Which, from a practitioner's point of view is more important than using extra features.


From: Paul Bishop (2015-09-22 11:38)

What if you create 3 job plans.
A is set to ever 2 months, B to every 4 months and C to every 6 months.
As soon as A and B execute for the first time, change their frequency to
every 6 months and you will be on the correct schedule.

A = 6n + 2 B = 6n + 4
C = 6n
where n = count

A good IBM design proposal would be to allow counter formulae.

-C
