Load Work Orders, PM Action Occurrences and Operational Plans

Explanation

This activity is used to load selected or all work orders and PM action occurrences available on a site to the Maintenance Planning Board. The Work Orders/PMs are loaded from the database so that they can be scheduled considering resource constraints and rules. This can be done when the Maintenance Planning Board is first started and also while it is in use.

Loading of Operational Plans to the Maintenance Planning Board is also done through this activity. By loading Operational Plans it is possible to schedule work orders and PM action occurrences considering, not only resource constrains and scheduling rules, but also availability of equipment and equipment objects (when they are not being used in operations).
