When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This plan is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this plan covers has occurred, or is about to
- Authorisation is needed before the work can begin
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Planned Maintenance programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links work orders, pm plans
Not for
- Schedule Compliance Review, which reviews what was scheduled against what was actually done, and why the gap exists.
- Maintenance Backlog Review, which reviews outstanding work by age, priority and asset criticality.
- Production Access Agreement, which records the access window agreed with production for a job, and what happens if it overruns.
- Anything outside KnowMaintain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
