Nesting Planned Maintenance Routines
Nesting means linking two or more routines together so that the correct routine is raised into a work order. So it is applicable only when your asset is linked to two (more) routines.
The Problem
Say, you have a 1 month, a 3 month and a 12 month routine linked for a boiler. Before nesting, there will be two or three services due in some months. This means that you'll have two or three
work orders raised for the same job, which is unwanted because the 12-month
service contains the details of the 3-month service and the 3-month service
contains the details of the 1-month service.
The Solution
To overcome this problem, the best way is
to nest the 1-month service under the 3-month service, and nest the 3-month
service under the 12-month service. When they are both due, the system will
only raise one service into a work order.
See the difference in schedules before and after nesting:
Notes
Please note that routines can be nested
only when they have the same frequency type, the same due date, the same skill,
and the Planned Work Type should match "Fixed."
