Equipment maintenance Job out of service not being considered in

Mark,


I believe that finite scheduling of resources is managed by writing values to the ResourceTimeUsed table.  The scheduling engine writes to that table during MRP based on the scheduling resource (JobOpDtl) for the jobs being scheduled.  The equipID field does not trigger the writing of data to ResourceTimeUsed, even if the EquipID is linked to a resourceID used in production jobs.  We have our full PM program implemented in Epicor  equipment plans, and no maintenance job affects production scheduling unless the production resource is listed in the operation of the maintenance job.  The fact that an EquipID can be linked to a resource is informational rather than functional when it comes to scheduling of the resource.


We are in 9.05.700C, and I do not know if that changes in Epicor 10.


The other option we have used to block a resource is to use calendar exceptions for that resource to define that the resource cannot be used for certain hours on certain days.  The scheduling engine will avoid those hours / days for that resource when scheduling finitely.

Hi All,

I was doing some testing with equipment/ maintenance module before using in house.

I have setup a resource Group with a resource which has been added to equipment List. I have Created a preventive maintenance job for this piece of equipment for the next 3 months and scheduled and released.
I have then created a production job that happens to use this same piece of equipment, I used finite scheduling but I would of expected the operation scheduled date to be after the maintenance Job on this equipment.
It hasn’t considered the maintenance job and scheduled work to this piece of equipment during the maintenance job.

There doesn’t seem to be any relationship between maintenance Jobs and Production jobs, if a resource is used in both area and the piece of Equipment is down for maintenance I don’t want to be able to schedule work to this.

Am I missing something here in my configuration

Any input would be appreciated

Did you add the resource linked to the equipment ID to an operation in the maintenance job?  We are harmonizing our production schedule with our PM schedule, but it does not work unless the maintenance job includes the (production) resource in an operation prior to scheduling the maintenance job.

Thanks for this imput Thomas,

I didn't really want to add the resourse to the operantion in the Maintenance job as this will make the estimated costs incorrect without manually overriding cost
