Create and modify job plans that become work plans when
they are associated with work orders and preventive maintenance records.
Creating job plans
You use job plans to apply to preventive maintenance records,
routes, and work orders to create work plans. A job plan is a detailed
description of work that is performed for a work order. After you
apply a job plan to a work order, you can customize the work plan
or the work order without affecting the original job plan.
Classifying job plans
Classification provides you with a way to categorize your
job plans. If you want to group job plans together, you can use classification.
Setting job plan conditions
To ensure that job plan components are copied to work orders
under specific circumstances, you define conditions and then set them
in the job plan. By setting conditions, you control when the tasks,
labor, materials, services, or tools of a job plan are copied to work
orders.
Revising job plans
You create job plans so that you can apply revision control
to a job plan. When you revise job plans, a record of the changes
that are made is saved.
Creating work orders when purchasing items on job plans
You can specify that a work order is created when any quantity
of an item on a job plan is specified on an approved purchase order.
Instead of being stocked in a storeroom, these items are issued directly
upon receipt to an asset, location, or work order.
Setting up work process flows
Work process flows use relationships between work orders
and tasks to automate the flow of status changes. You set relationships
between work orders and tasks so that when a task is completed, the
next task in the flow can be initiated.
