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.
