In few organisations, while performing Major Maintenance/Shutdown Maintenance work (Turnaround) / TPM- Total Productive Maintenance work, maintenance user deals with more number of maintenance operations in combination of all work centers (Departments) such as Mechanical & Electrical, etc... in one Maintenance Order.It will be very lengthy job for maintenance engineer who is confirming all these operations against maintenance order in SAP using transaction IW41/IW42 etc...
This document may help "Maintenance Personnel" to reduce the time on confirmation of operations by using "Mile stone control key" functionality.
Here i came up with a small example of "Quarterly Maintenance of Centrifugal Pump" for better understanding of this functionality.
To set up this functionality:
Create control keys for "Internal Maintenance Activities" as CK01: Plant maintenance – internal & CK02: Plant maintenance - internal (Milestone).
CK01: Plant maintenance – internal
CK02: Plant maintenance - internal (Milestone)
After performing above configuration steps , assign these two control keys in a TASK LIST.
Now assign both
Mechanical and
Electrical maintenance operations in TASK LIST of "
Quarterly Maintenance of Centrifugal Pump"
Here assign all the operations to be performed at shop floor with CK01 control key.And assign the CK02 control key as a Mile stone activity in task list.
For Mile stone Control key assign the "Total duration of respective department operations" as shown in.
Mechanical Works:
Electrical works:
Now create a maintenance order for the "
Quarterly Maintenance of Centrifugal Pump" and assign the task list which is created with "
Mile stone control key".
Now while confirming this Maintenance order using transaction IW41, system will only pull the"Two operations" having control key "CK02" for confirmation.
This helps shop-floor engineers/supervisors to confirm field work as a consolidated work...to have better evaluation on man-hours..
