maintenance activities are defined at the maintenance planning plants. Maintenance planning plants determine if
the maintenance planning is centralized, decentralized or partially centralized.

Plants. if it is decentralized, then there would be a Maintenance Planning Plant for each Maintenance Plant. if it
is partially decentralized, then there would be Maintenance Planning Plants, looking after a few Maintenance
Plants each.

subdivision of maintenance plants. Machines or sets of machines that are represented in the system as pieces of
equipment or functional locations are installed in plant sections.

establish a contact person for Plant Maintenance using the plant section. Plant sections are assigned to
Maintenance plants.

maintenance tasks in a plant. Planner groups or Maintenance Planner groups must be defined separately for each
