When deciding if you should create a brand new Preventive Maintenance schedule or clone an existing schedule, what is a key factor in this decision?

If the PM to be cloned fits your companies practices and needs for the new PM which is needed.
How many Assets are being added to PM
It does not matter
None of the above

Correct Answer

A. If the PM to be cloned fits your companies practices and needs for the new PM which is needed.

The key factor in deciding whether to create a brand new Preventive Maintenance schedule or clone an existing schedule is if the PM to be cloned fits your company's practices and needs for the new PM which is needed. This means that if the existing schedule aligns with the requirements and standards of the company, it can be cloned instead of creating a new one from scratch.

In an example where a Monthly PM needs to be set up to generate a different Procedure after every quarter), how would the Interval be set up for each Procedure?

Bi-Monthly is Interval “2”, Annual is Interval “9”
