Scheduled Maintenance Forecasting

You can forecast when scheduled maintenance may be due for a piece of equipment, to help anticipate upcoming labor hours and equipment costs. Scheduled maintenance that is based on meter readings can be predicted based on the average usage per day for a piece of equipment. The average usage per day is determined based on the equipment's meter readings for the last X number of days.

Example

• Scheduled maintenance is due at 10,000 miles.
• The equipment's current meter reading is 9,000 miles.
• The equipment's average usage per day is 25 miles.

Based on the equipment's average usage per day, it will take approximately 40 days for the equipment to reach 10,000 miles. You can use this forecast to anticipate when you will encounter the costs for the upcoming 10,000-mile maintenance.

Once the forecast due date is calculated for your equipment, the Scheduled Maintenance Forecast Inquiry window allows you to view upcoming maintenance that is due within a certain time frame or for a certain equipment model or maintenance type.

If you are using Service Management, you can also use this window to check whether scheduled maintenance is anticipated for equipment that is out on a service call. This allows you to anticipate equipment needs for your service calls based on the maintenance that is required for the equipment.
