Help with Incorrect Plan Date for a Preventative Maint Order

[Former Member]

Hi Experts -- I have a Maintenance Plan that is supposed to be on a 9 month cycle with a 1.11 cycle modification factor in an attempt to make this a 10 month cycle.  The last work order on this plan was completed on 11/1/12, and therefore I would expect the next one to be due approximately 10 months from that date.  The problem is that the system shows the next plan date to be 2/9/13 which would only be about a 3 month cycle.  Can you please tell me why this schedule appears to be working incorrectly?

Thanks!

Doug,

Can you send a screen-shot of the package from IP11 please.

Also try re-starting the plan.

Peter -- exactly what you mean with "restart" the plan?

Thanks

Doug,

First of all, its not recommended to have different UoM in you strategy e.g. WK, MON, YR.

This is because WK/MON do not divide equally into each other i.e. 4WK is not 1MON...

Use the Start in Cycle or New Start button to restart your plan:

Hi Doug,

I have tried this scenario, as per my observations in maintenance plan Scheduling screen the system is skipping the next Plan date which is to be 06.11.2012 and giving the next plan date as 02.09.2013.

Please see the below screen .

If you create this with single cycle plan then the system is planning for correct date as per our cycle modification factor.

Can any one please explain this why system is behaving like this in strategy based plan.

Doug,

If this is a strategy based plan, then check your task list doesn't have additional packages (i.e. not 9M cycle)

Peter, this is a strategy based plan but the FL task list only shows 1 maint package and it is set for 9 months.  Any other thoughts--please?

If you have change package sequence in strategy recently you will have to re schedule maintenance plan.
