Scheduling work based on resource availability

When you are scheduling upcoming work, you must ensure craft, asset, location, item, and tool availability at the proposed maintenance time.

About this task

A maintenance planner is creating a schedule for the next three months. The maintenance planner wants to ensure that the dates meet start and end date requirements, and that all resources that are required to complete the work are available.

Procedure

  1. In the Scheduler application, open the appropriate schedule.
  2. In the Activity table of the Gantt view, drag the work segment to the timeframe that you want to schedule it for. The resource chart shows craft requirements for the work, and their availability on that day.
  3. On the Other Resources Availability tab in the Resource table, confirm that the resources that are needed for the work are available on the scheduled work date. The tab shows the assets, locations, items, and tools that are required for the work, along with their availability. An orange segment indicates time when the resource is not available for maintenance. Green segments indicate the maintenance schedule associated with an asset or location. The asset and location are available to be worked on during this period.
  4. Make schedule adjustments as necessary. On the Load and Availability tab, ensure craft availability during the newly scheduled work time.
  5. Save the schedule.
