Preventive Forecast in Oracle Fusion Maintenance Program
Preventive
Forecast in Oracle Fusion
Maintenance is a planning and analytical capability that helps maintenance
planners predict upcoming preventive maintenance (PM) activities based
on predefined maintenance programs, asset usage, and calendar-based schedules.
It enables organizations to proactively plan labor, materials, and downtime
before failures occur.
Purpose of
Preventive Forecast
The main objective
of the preventive forecast is to:
- Anticipate future maintenance work
orders
- Reduce unplanned breakdowns
- Optimize resource and spare parts
planning
- Improve asset availability and
reliability
- Support maintenance budgeting and
capacity planning
Instead of
reacting to failures, organizations can act proactively using forecasted
maintenance demand.
How Preventive
Forecast Works
Oracle Fusion
Maintenance uses Maintenance Programs to generate forecasts. These
programs define when and how preventive maintenance should occur.
1. Maintenance
Programs
A maintenance
program is assigned to one or more assets and includes:
- Maintenance activities
- Scheduling rules (time-based or
usage-based)
- Effective dates and intervals
2. Forecast
Generation Logic
The system
evaluates:
- Asset installation date
- Last maintenance execution date
- Usage readings (meter-based assets)
- Calendar schedules
Based on this
data, Oracle Fusion calculates future due dates for preventive
maintenance activities.
Types of
Preventive Forecasts
1. Time-Based
Forecast
Maintenance is
triggered based on:
- Days
- Weeks
- Months
- Years
Example:
Inspect an air compressor every 30 days.
2. Usage-Based
Forecast
Maintenance is
triggered based on:
- Meter readings (hours, cycles,
kilometers, etc.)
Example:
Service a generator every 500 operating hours.
3. Combined
Forecast
Uses both time and
usage rules, and the earliest due condition triggers maintenance.
Example:
Perform maintenance every 6 months or 1,000 hours, whichever occurs
first.
Output of
Preventive Forecast
The preventive
forecast provides visibility into:
- Upcoming preventive work orders
- Estimated maintenance dates
- Required resources and materials
- Maintenance workload by asset or
organization
This forecast
helps planners decide when to release work orders and what resources
are needed.
