Equipment Due for Service/Inspection - by Equipment

General Equipment Due for Service Information

The Equipment Due for Service/Inspection - by Equipment screen displays equipment units or linear assets that are due for a preventive maintenance (PM) service, inspection, scheduled repair task or standard job, or late for a previously scheduled service.

At the highest level, the records retrieved are based on the date information entered in the filter dialog box for Due on or before date and Number of days from today to project fields.

If neither a date due nor the number of days to project is specified, all PM services or inspections due either before or on the current date are displayed.

Grid results may be sorted by equipment ID. Other filter options include:

Equipment ID (restricts the list to a specific equipment ID)
Number of days from today to project: If the number of days from today to project is specified without a date due, all PM services or inspections due on or before the current date plus the number of days to the project are displayed.
Due on or before date: If a date due is specified, all PM services or inspections due on or before that date are displayed. Equipment due because of meter or fuel overrides the filter for date.
Equipment class ID (restricts the list to units that have a matched equipment class and support PM)
Shop location ID (restricts the list to units that have a matched shop location)
Department ID (restricts the list to units that have a matched department ID)
Department to notify for PM (restricts the list to units that have a matched PM notify department)
PM service (restricts the list to units that have a matched PM service due)
Program type (restricts the list to units that have a matched program type). The option of BOTH applies to both CLASS and INDIVIDUAL.
Reason due (restricts the list to units with meter-specific or date-specific reasons)
DATE: If the next service date is on or before the specified due date, the results will display equipment due based on date
FUEL OVERRIDE: If the equipment’s fuel consumption since the last service performed exceeds the defined fuel override quantity, the results display equipment due based on fuel override
METER OVERRIDE: If the equipment’s meter (1 or 2) exceeds the defined meter override value, the results display equipment due based on meter override
METER 1 (METER 2) PROJECTED OVERRIDE: Equipment is projected to be due for service based on a recent meter update within the given time frame.

Calculation used to determine whether a unit might be due because of a meter update:

1. (Current meter - meter at last service)/number of days from last service to date of last meter update = Average number of miles traveled each day.

2. (Number of days from the last service to the date used on Equipment Due for Service/Inspection screens) * (average number of miles traveled each day) = Number of miles at which the next service is due

METER DUE: Equipment has reached the meter reading at which the service is now due
FUEL PROJECTED OVERRIDE: Equipment due for service based on fuel projected override when an excess of fuel use is projected.

Calculation used to determine excessive fuel usage:

1. Determine the average daily fuel consumption rate for the equipment from the last service start date to the last date on which fuel was issued to the equipment.

2. Determine the projected fuel consumption by multiplying the average daily fuel consumption rate (from step 1) by the number of days remaining until equipment is due (specified in the Filter dialog box)

3. Add the projected fuel consumption to the amount of fuel used since the last service performed. If this value exceeds the set PM fuel quantity override, the unit is considered to be due for service based on the override.

PM shift (restricts the list to units that have a matched PM shift)
Exclude services on open work orders (restricts the list to units for which there are no open work orders; PMs or inspection services on OPEN or PENDING work orders will not display) – This is the default.
Include services to be soon due by meter (restricts the list to units that are soon due by meter [1 or 2] for class and individual PM). Applies to services whose due dates fall within the range specified in the PM soon due range field on the Meter Info tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Class -> Primary Information screen)
Tip: To determine whether vehicles that have never had a service are due soon for preventive maintenance, place a check in this field and make sure that there is a value in the PM soon due range field on the Meter Info tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Class -> Primary Information screen. Vehicles without a service whose meter value is less than the soon due range value for the meter type will display.
Tip: When you open a repair work order for equipment with a service due date that falls within the soon due range, a message displays on the Messages tab of the work order so that you can add the service or open a separate work order for the service. This notification eliminates the need to recall the equipment unit for a service shortly after it has been in the shop for a repair.
Date of last yard check (restricts the list to units that were checked on the specified date). This filter only applies to equipment that has enabled the availability for repair/PM.
Include equipment currently out of service (defaults to include equipment that is currently out of service)
Segment ID (restricts the list to assets on the same segment that have PM work due
Include equipment eligible for PM extension (Restricts the list to equipment that is eligible for PM extension or not)
Note: This screen supports location-level and department-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.

The grid displays all equipment units that have:

Matching criteria in the filter.
A check in the Work orders field on the Authorization tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen.
A life-cycle status code ID specified on the Status tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen that has a check in the Status denotes that unit is active field on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Life-Cycle Status Codes screen.
A due date for PM/inspections for any of the following reasons:
Next PM schedule date is less than or equal to today's date. For these units, meter overrides are not considered because the units are due on elapsed time.
Next PM schedule date is later than today’s date but the meter usage since the last unscheduled PM service has accumulated to equal more than the applicable meter override. If no override applies to the unit or its class, units based on meter readings do not display.
A next PM schedule date that is beyond today's date and an accumulation of more meter usage units than the applicable override, but which has consumed more fuel since the last unscheduled PM service than the applicable PM fuel quantity override. If no override applies to the unit or its class, units based on fuel consumption do not display.
Less meter usage units and fuel than the applicable overrides, but that are projected to exceed the overrides before the end of the specified period. Refer to projected excess of meter PM override and projected excess of fuel override.

Date due

Date that the next PM service or inspection is due. This date is computed once the work order is CLOSED. It can be calculated based on one of the following work order dates:

UNIT IN: Due date based on the work order Date and time in field.
FIRST LABOR: Due date based on the date and time that labor was first performed on the work order. Select this option if the equipment unit often arrives at the shop long before a mechanic actually starts to perform the work.
WORK FINISHED: Due date based on the date and time that work was completed on the last PM work order. A date in the Work order date and time finished field signifies that the work is complete.
IN SERVICE: Due date based on the date and time that the equipment unit was placed back in service after the last PM work order was closed. A date in the Work order date and time in service field signifies that the equipment is now in service.
SCHEDULED:Due date based on the date the last PM was scheduled (regardless of when the work order was opened or closed). A date in the PM scheduled field signifies that the work order is now in service. Select this option if you perform PM services promptly and want to be strict about having equipment units brought in for PM service at a scheduled time, regardless of when the service was actually last performed.

Days late

If the next service or inspection date is earlier than today, number of days that the unit is late for service or inspection.

Meter 1 and Meter 2

Meter 1 and 2 reading information:

At last service

Meter reading on the unit when the service or inspection was last performed.

Due at

Meter reading at which the service or inspection becomes due.

Current

Current meter reading on the unit.

Until due

Number of miles until the unit is due for servicing. If a negative number displays, the service is overdue.

Late

For units that are late for service or inspection (override already exceeded), number of units accumulated on the meter reading in excess of the applicable meter override.

Since last service

Number of miles the equipment unit has traveled since the last service date. Equal to the difference between the current meter reading and the meter reading at the last service, minus any rollovers.

Fuel

Due at

Amount of fuel the equipment unit can use since the date of the last service or inspection before the unit is considered due for service. This value is determined by the equipment unit's PM fuel quantity override, which is the amount of fuel the equipment unit has to consume before i is considered due for service or inspection, regardless of its scheduled due date (by time interval) or meter usage.

The equipment unit's PM program type (specified on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen) determines where the displayed information comes from.

CLASS: Dependent on the value in the PM override for Fuel qty field on the Class PM tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen:
