Extended IP30 Runs

29 Views

The normal process at this client is to run IP30 on a weekly basis looking forward 90 days. However, the business have just run IP30 till the end of 2013 to satisfy some internal issue.

What issues have you experienced when running IP30 for these extended periods? Here are some to start off the process:

- Planned costs will be available into the future: may not be acceptable to FICO

- Interfaces need to be considered due to large amount of orders/notificitaions created

- Counter based plans: count readings will be ignored

- Factory Calendars: these should be checked before running IP30 for any plans that use a calendar

- Reporting: List edit programs may take longer due to number of open orders/notifications

- Purchasing/stock issues

- Master data changes: orders not updated automatically if equipment costs centres change

- Admin overhead: any changes to maintenance plans may require mass-order cancellation

Any others?
