38 Certification Study Guide Series: IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.1 3.1 Master Preventive Maintenance application You use the Master Preventive Maintenance ( Master PM) application to create generic maintenance templates, which can be for preventive maintenance, inspections, or any other type of periodic work. You can specify the frequency that the work should be performed, seasonal dates that apply to the PM, and one or more job plans that apply to the PM. Job plans are created in the Job Plans application ( refer to 3.4.2, “ PM job plans” on page 45 for more details). Job plans list tasks, labor, materials, service, and tool requirements necessary to complete preventive maintenance, inspection, or other work that can be planned in advance. You use the Master PM application to define generic preventive maintenance records, either for general maintenance, or for rotating items. Master PM records can be used to create site- specific associated PM records. When you use a Master PM to create an associated PM, IBM Maximo Asset Management copies the data to the associated PM, which can then be modified as necessary. 3.2 Preventive Maintenance application After creating a Master PM template, you may use it to create associated PMs. Associated PMs are non- master PMs that are created and managed in the Preventive Maintenance application and are defined for a specific asset or location. Non- master PMs are used to generate Preventive Maintenance work orders for assets and locations. Note: Master PM records are defined at the system or database level in IBM Maximo Asset Management multisite functionality. IBM Maximo Asset Management multisite functionality provides large enterprises a way to standardize and share certain kinds of data between facilities while keeping other kinds of data, such as work management data, unique to a particular site. The multisite capability also allows you to selectively give users access to data at different sites. For more information on multisite implementation, refer to Multisite Administration Guide at: http:// publib. boulder. ibm. com/ infocenter/ tivihelp/ v3r1/ topic/ com. ibm . mam. doc_ 7.1/ pdf/ mam71_ multisite_ admin_ guide. pdf Restriction: You do not generate work orders with Master PMs or include them in PM hierarchies.
