Workshop:
Maintenance Work
Requests
May 3, 2006
Project Goals
Implement SAP Plant Maintenance system





Provide integration with Finance, HR, and Materials
Allow enhanced scheduling and planning for work assignments
Provide work scheduling as well as management reporting tools
Accommodate the use of mobile technology to reduce paperwork
Improve automated updates to customers about the status of work
 Implement a Preventive Maintenance system for buildings, areas, and
equipment
 Utilize standard SAP functionality to collect utility usage and cost
information for recharge calculations

What is the SAP Work Request Process?
Notification
 This is a non-financial transaction which can be used to request work,
report a problem, or record an activity
 It has no visibility outside of the plant maintenance area of SAP
 It may be processed via a work order, used to record non-costed
activity, or closed without any work being done
 It will be automatically created by a work order, if desired
 It is frequently created by an end-user via a Web form
Why should a notification be used?




To document an event
To request work which may or may not be done
To record a breakdown for statistical purposed
To record the technical reasons for a failure for later analysis
What information does a notification capture?
 Descriptive information. This includes “long text” which is of unlimited
length
 A priority for the work
 A object to be maintained: A functional location (Building, Room) or
piece of Equipment
 Contact information for the person reporting the problem or requesting
work
 The ability to assign a responsible person to this notification
 “Breakdown” information, if appropriate. This is the start and end time
of the breakdown. (The system will calculate Mean Time Between
Failures and Mean Time to Repair.)
 Codes for the “Damage”, “Cause of Damage”, and “Activity”
What information is required?
 SAP only requires a description
Notification Types
 Maintenance Request – Used to request work, not necessarily to
report a problem
 Malfunction Report – Used to report a problem
 Activity Report – Used to record an activity performed, not
necessarily to address a request or problem. This might be
used to report findings from Preventive Maintenance or to
record technical information regarding the repair of a critical
machine
 The Maintenance Request and Malfunction Report are very
similar in format and content
 The Activity Report provides for entry of more codes
 Recommendation: Implement all 3 and use them as required.
What does the “Priority” do?
 It can determine the dates based upon predefined criteria for each
priority
The “Start Date” is calculated based on the current date. It may also
include a “Start Time”. (Dates and times for this calculation may be in
minutes, hours, or days.)
The “End Date” is also calculated based on the current date.
(Note: The Start Date and End Date may be in different units.)
 Each Notification type may have its own set of priorities (A Work
Request could have different priorities than a Malfunction Report.)
 If required, different notifications types with their priorities may be
established for each Plant (CPPD, MPPD, HOUS, UTIL)
What are the codes and groups?
 Damage Codes

What’s wrong

Leaking, Squeaking, Stalling, Stopped, etc.
 Cause of Damage Codes

Why is it not working

Loss of lubrication, low voltage, dirty, operator error, etc.
 Activity Codes

What was done to correct the problem

Lubricated, Reset, Adjusted, Aligned, etc.
Who creates the codes?
You do!
 The list of codes can be short to start and can be expanded as new
codes become required
 The code groups can be specific to types of equipment (Different lists
for pumps, motors, air handlers)
 Some suggestions follow

Notification Fields
 Determine which fields should be eliminated because they will
not be used
 Determine which fields should be required (if any)
Topics For Next Blueprinting Session
