| To specify maintenance concepts |  |
| Maintenance concepts are item-specific reference activities, or predicted activities that are linked to an item. To do this, specify for each item which reference activities are required, and the number of times these activities must be carried out. You can specify the requirements for each reference activity. You can define maintenance concepts in the following sessions: Maintenance Concepts - Item (tsspc1120m000) Maintenance Concept - Predicted Activities (tsspc1125m000) If you define a maintenance concept, you can make use of the functionality offered by the multilevel serialized item structure. If, for example, a maintenance activity is required for several products of one product family, the product family can be included in the serialized item structure. The family is included as a serialized item under which the common maintenance activities are defined. The usage class enables you to define more than one maintenance concept for an item. How to define a maintenance concept Step 1. Reference Activities You must define the reference activity, which is the basic element of a maintenance concept, in the Reference Activities (tsacm1101m000) session. You can use these reference activities to create a maintenance concept, a maintenance prediction, or a maintenance planning. The reference activity always contains a service type. This service type has an important role when a maintenance plan must be defined. For more details about service types, refer to the Master Data Management (MDM) module procedure. Step 2. Inspection Templates If a measurement type is linked to a reference activity, the measurement type is called a measurement inspection. This measurement inspection must be performed as a part of the reference activity. When the measurement is carried out and norm values are exceeded, one or more activities must be performed. Therefore, the follow-up activity must be available to be inserted in the Reference Activities - Measurement Types (tsacm3160m000) session. A measurement is the value of a specific variable (measuring quantity) of an object in a specific situation. Step 3. Maintenance Concepts - Item Maintenance concept is a list of activities to be carried out on a anonymous item as a part of maintenance policy. The frequency at which, the activity has to be carried out is also specified. You can specify various maintenance concepts for the same anonymous item. To enable this, you can use the entity usage class. Use the Maintenance Concepts - Item (tsspc1120m000) session to list the reference activities that constitute an item's maintenance concept. On the Specific menu, click Generate Predictions to start the Generate Prediction (tsspc1225m000) session, which you can use to generate a list of predicted activities for the item, based on the item's reference activities listed in this session. You can click Resource Requirements to start the Reference Activity - Resource Requirements (tsacm2120m000) session, which you can use to view the list of resource requirement for the particular reference activity.
