• Automatically
The maintenance planner must first define the service plan in Service Planner. The maintenance
scheduler generates a service schedule in Service Scheduler by selecting the appropriate
requirements from the service plan, to generate the job cards and job task in the work order. Once the
work order is approved, the maintenance scheduler starts the schedule and assigns the service
technician to begin the maintenance work.
The service technician then executes the service work using either Service Work Instructions (Service
Work Instructions) on Active Workspace or the rich client where the information needed to complete the
work is located. The service technician records the service data, such as characteristics found, parts
removed and installed, and discrepancies noted.
The maintenance scheduler can evaluate the work performed by the service technician and closes the
maintenance action.
As a service planner, you create and manage the service plans related to the neutral parts.
Service plans contain information such as the service requirements, frequency of service, and service
activities that contain information about:
You create service partitions to group together service requirements within a service plan.
A service plan is related to a neutral part and is the high-level container for the service partitions that
group together service requirements. A root partition is automatically created when you create the
service plan.
The following figure shows an example of a turbo-engine assembly that contains multiple service plans.
The service partitions group together all the service requirements for the turbocharger assembly.
When you create the service plan, the following tabs are created:
• Base View
This tab contains only the service plan and is used only for reference. It is not used to manage the
service plan. You cannot expand the service plan in this tab.
• Plan/Partition name
This tab contains the service partitions and is used to create and modify the service plans. You can
expand the service plan in this tab.
2. From the Service Planner view, click Open By Name on the main toolbar at the top of the
Service Planner pane, to open the neutral structure or part.
3. Select the neutral part to relate to the service plan and do one of the following to create a new
service plan:
• Click the New Service Plan button at the top of the Service Planner pane.
4. In the New Service Plan dialog box, select Service Plan from the list and click Next.

• Partition name
This tab contains the service partitions. You can only expand the service plan in this tab.
A service partition is the hierarchical grouping of service requirements. A service plan has only one root
service partition, but the root service partition can have many service partitions. You can also nest
service partitions by creating service partitions under another service partition.
The following figure shows an example of a service plan for a turbo-engine assembly that contains
nested partitions to group together the bearing housing assembly and turbine housing assembly
requirements for the turbocharger subassembly.
2. From the Service Planner view, open the service plan where you want to add the service partition.
3. From the Service Planner view, click the service plan name tab next to the Base View tab to

As a service planner, you create and manage the service requirements that are part of the service plan.
Service requirements determine what service must be performed. They define the maintenance that can
be performed on a part or assembly. Service requirements are grouped under service partitions.
• Creating service frequencies that determine the interval or period for performing maintenance.
• Creating required skills that determine who should perform or sign off on the service requirement.
• Assigning the neutral part occurrences that are impacted by the service requirement.
A service requirement is the maintenance requirement for an assembly or part. Service requirements are
grouped together under service partitions.
• in-work
• approved
• deprecated
Example:
You may want to setup a variant to indicate whether the service requirements are war time or
peace time requirements.
The following figure shows an example of a turbo-engine assembly that has multiple service
requirements for the bearing housing subassembly. The service requirements include inspecting and
replacing the right turbine blade that is a component of the bearing housing assembly. The service
requirements for the bearing housing subassembly are grouped together under the service partition for
the turbocharger assembly requirements.

Service requirement
You can assign impacted neutral part occurrences to service requirements to identify the impacted parts.
The impacted part represents the part or assembly that is most directly impacted by the service
requirement. If there is no relationship created between a neutral part occurrence and a service
requirement, the impacted part is assumed to be the neutral part related to the parent service plan.
When you assign a neutral part occurrence to a service requirement, the Occurrence Type for the
neutral part is set to MEAssign.
You can assign impacted neutral part occurrences to service requirements to identify the impacted parts.
The impacted part represents the part or assembly that is most directly impacted by the service

requirement, the impacted part is assumed to be the neutral part related to the parent service plan.
When you assign a neutral part occurrence to a service requirement, the Occurrence Type for the
neutral part is set to MEAssign.
2. Locate and open the neutral structure or part you want to assign as an impacted part to the service
requirement.
3. From the Product view, right-click the neutral part and choose Copy.
4. Locate and open the service requirement that you want to assign the neutral part occurrence to.
5. From the Service Plan view, right-click the service requirement and choose Paste or Paste
As → MEAssign.
The neutral part is assigned to the service requirement with the Occurrence Type set to
MEAssign.
The frequency for a service requirement defines the interval or period for performing the maintenance.
It defines when the service needs to be performed.
Example:
You can create a frequency that specifies an inspection maintenance requirement be performed
every two months.
As the following figure shows, frequencies are associated to the service requirement with a Has
Frequencies relationship. After creating the frequency for a service requirement, the Occurrence Type
for the frequency is set to Has Frequency.
You create a frequency by defining an expression. The expression can be made up of keywords and
characteristic definitions. The evaluation of the frequency expression always returns a Boolean.
A frequency expression may contain more than one phrase using phrase separators such as AND or OR.
Example:
You use the keyword At to define that maintenance has to be performed at a specific date only.
You use the keyword Every to define that maintenance has to be performed every three days.
The characteristics values that are available to use in the frequency expression are determined by the
following:
• Any life, observation, or date characteristics related to the neutral parts assigned to the service
requirement with the MEAssign relationship are available as valid characteristics to use in the
frequency expression.
• Any life, observation, or date characteristics related to the neutral part assigned to the parent service
plan are available as valid characteristics to use in the frequency expression. This is only true if there
are no assigned or impacted parts assigned to the service requirement with the MEAssign
relationship.
Example:
You defined a life characteristic to record the engine hours for a turbo-engine. The turbo-engine is
assigned to a service requirement for inspection. You use engine hours in the frequency
expression to perform the inspection requirement every one thousand engine hours.
The system provides the following options in addition to any life, observation, or date characteristics:
• Calendar
Used for adding calendar time to the expression.
• Installation Date
Indicates that the installation time of a part in a structure should be used.
• Manufacturing Date
Indicates that the date of manufacture should be used.
• Days

You can define service requirement dependencies by creating relations between two service
requirements.
• Requires
This relation is used when one service requirement requires another service requirement.
Example:
You created a service requirement to change the oil every month in a service plan for a truck.
Another service requirement in the same service plan is defined to replace the oil filter which is
needed before changing the oil. You create a Requires relation between the requirement for
changing the oil and the requirement to replace the oil filter to indicate the first requirement
requires the second.
• Satisfies
This relation is used when one service requirement satisfies another service requirement.
Example:
You created a service requirement to replace the brake pads every 1000 engine hours in a
service plan for a truck. Another service requirement in the same service plan is defined to
perform a complete brake system overhaul every 4000 engine hours, which includes changing
the brake pads. You create a Satisfies relation between the requirement for the brake overhaul
and the requirement to replace the brake pads to indicate the second requirement satisfies the
first.

A work zone helps you scope data from a very large structure to a more manageable structure that
contains only those objects that you currently need for your work. Work zones are implemented with
occurrence groups on neutral parts and related to a work card. If you use the service plan to generate a
service schedule, the zone information is carried over to the schedule job cards. You cannot assign a
zone to an activity, and zones do not appear on job tasks.
Occurrence groups help you scope data from a very large structure to a more manageable structure that
contains only those objects that you currently need for your work. If you have a very large structure, for
example, you can create subsets of this structure in occurrence groups that are tailored to the needs of
different departments.
An occurrence group structure is attached to the main structure (the base view) and can only hold
occurrences from that structure. An occurrence under an occurrence group is the same occurrence as in
the main structure. Making changes in the occurrence group structure is the same as making these
changes in the main structure. You can think of an occurrence group as holding shortcuts to the
occurrences in the main structure. You can have multiple shortcuts to the same occurrence, that is, you
can assign the same occurrence to multiple occurrence groups. You can create multiple occurrence
group structures, each one holding a different list of occurrence groups and a different list of
occurrences from the main structure.
Note:
You can create incremental change information about occurrence groups and their content
(children). However, configuring the view to show or hide configured changes does not work for
this information. Only incremental change information that is common with the base view (in the
item structure) is filtered.
4. Type a name and description of the new occurrence group and click Finish.
Teamcenter creates a new root occurrence group and displays it as a new tab next to the Base
View tab.
5. Drag components, subassemblies, and other occurrence groups from the source view and drop
them into the new occurrence group or use copy and paste.
Note:
Open the structure twice to be able to have both the root structure and the occurrence group
visible at the same time.
If you are assigned to review any work orders, job cards, or job tasks, you can access all the supporting
information related to these objects and the parent objects, if applicable, from your work list.
A characteristic definition is used to collect and record information during maintenance. You can create
characteristic definitions that contain information such as how many hours a part has been used, the
date the asset was put into commission, or the operating temperature of the part.
You can create characteristic definitions that define life, date, and observation characteristics. You can
also create derived characteristics which are characteristics values that are calculated by the system
based on formulas or expressions. Only life and observation characteristics can be defined as derived
characteristics by specifying the evaluation expression.
• Neutral parts
• Work cards
• Activities
A life characteristic defines the individual characteristics that measure the life of a part.
Example:
You can track the number of landings for an aircraft using a life characteristic. When the number
of landings reaches a specific value, scheduled maintenance on the aircraft is performed.

4. In the New Observation Characteristic dialog box, enter the following information for the
observation characteristic.
5. In the Derived Expression box, type the expression or formula for the derived characteristic or
click the button to use the wizard.
Derived characteristic values are calculated by the system based on formulas or expressions. You can use
existing life or observation characteristics when you define the formula for the derived characteristic.
Example:
An aircraft engine can have different life characteristics, such as in-flight usage and number of
landings, while in use. The actual life of the engine is a combination of these values based on
some predefined formulas. You can define a formula to calculate the derived life characteristic
value based on the two base life characteristic values that you provide. The derived life
characteristic value can then be used for calculating maintenance schedules.
2. Create a new life or observation characteristic and enter information in the required fields.
Note:
If you want to use a life or observation characteristic in the formula for the derived
characteristic, you must create those characteristics before defining the derived
characteristic.

there was a failure with the physical part.
You can select discrepancies, relate them to requirements, and create a schedule to fix them.
• Maintenance actions
Maintenance actions, created in Service Scheduler, define the required work for an asset and one of
its child physical parts. They track the required maintenance to completion and show compliance of
the completed work. You can create them from service requirements or service discrepancies. They
can also be automatically created when a service schedule is created from service requirements in a
service plan or service discrepancies.
When a service schedule is generated, you can specify an existing work order to attach the schedule to,
add the job cards and job tasks to, or create a new work order for it.
Note:
The MRO Automated Scheduling template must be installed to provide this capability.

• Attaches the schedule and assets to the work order along with the maintenance actions.
• Defining qualifications
Qualifications define the skills, certificates, training, or other aspects of a user’s capability to perform
the service work.
Note:
The physical assets must be generated from as-maintained structures using Service Manager.
There are two components of the scope of work, the work order and the schedule.
• Work order
A work order defines the scope of service work needed to be performed on a physical asset or assets.
You create job cards and job tasks related to the work order to define the scope of work required to
complete the work order. In addition, you must identify the affected physical assets that are serviced
by the work order and the physical location where the work is performed. You can relate more than
one physical asset to a work order. Optionally, you can identify a customer contact and customer
location that is associated to the work order.
A work order contains the following three states that define the status, degree of completion, and the
business decisions during the service scheduling:
• Closure
• Maturity
• Disposition
You design your workflow process to dictate how these work order states progress and transition from
one value to the next. You assign participants to a work order to represent each of the roles used by
the workflow.
• Schedule
When you create a work order, you create an associated schedule. When you create the schedule, you
define a start date and finish date for the entire schedule. The start date and finish dates for the
related job cards you create must fall within the schedule range.
The schedule task related to the work order contains the following summary properties that are used
to track the job cards and their job tasks:
• Duration
• Work Estimate
• Work Complete
When you initially create the work order, the Status property of the schedule task is set to Not Started
indicating the start action has not yet occurred. When you update the Work Complete or Work
Complete Percent properties on the related job card or job task, the start action occurs and sets the
Status to In Progress and sets the Actual Start Date to the date when the start action occurred.
Note:
The start actions on a schedule task do not affect the Closure, Maturity, or Disposition states of
the work order.
Example:
A robot’s gripper has poor traction and is dropping items. You create a work order and schedule to
upgrade the robot.

A job card defines a service action that is performed by a service technician on a physical asset to fulfill
the work order. In order to fulfill the work order, you can create multiple job cards to perform specific
service actions on the physical asset. Job cards are related to the work order schedule.
The job card uses the physical asset defined for the related work order. If the work order has multiple
physical assets, you are required to choose the physical asset for the job card. You can optionally specify
the impacted physical part that is affected by the service action. If you do not specify an impacted part,
the impacted part is assumed to be the top level parent of the physical asset. If you do specify an
impacted part, the impacted part must be a child of the physical asset defined for the work order.
Example:
You create a job card to upgrade the compressor for a robot because the robot’s gripper has poor
traction and is dropping items. The job card is related to the work order schedule for upgrading
the robot.
When you initially create the job card, the Status property of the job card is set to Not Started indicating
the start action has not yet occurred. When you update the Work Complete or Work Complete Percent
properties on the job card or related job tasks, the start action occurs and sets the Status to In Progress
and sets the Actual Start Date to the date when the start action occurred.
When you create multiple job cards, you sequence the job cards in the order they need to be
implemented within the work order.
When you submit the job card to a customized workflow, the activity execution types define the action
the that is required to complete the job card. There are two activity execution types available when you

A job task defines the service action steps that are performed by a service technician to complete the
parent job card or parent job task. You can create nested job tasks to further break down a parent job
task into separate tasks. You can create job tasks using the job task wizard or the task box.
Example:
To complete a job card for upgrading the compressor in a robot, you create separate job tasks to
uninstall the compressor and install the new compressor. The job tasks are related to the job card
and the job card is related to the work order schedule.
When you initially create the job task, the Status property of the job task is set to Not Started indicating

Part movement is a record of each physical part that is installed, replaced, or uninstalled as a result of a
job card or job task. Each installation or uninstallation of a physical part must have a unique part
movement record.
You can only create part movements for job cards and job tasks with no children.
The SSS0AllowsJobActivityReferences condition set in Business Modeler IDE determines whether you
can relate a part movement to a job or job task. By default, the Status property for the job card or job
task must be set to any of the following:

When you create a part movement to install or replace a physical part, you can choose the physical part
to install by:
• Searching for an existing physical part in the same location as the physical asset related to the job
card or job task.
Part movements can be categorized as traceable or untraceable. Traceable part movements are
necessary for parts that affect the physical structure. The changes to the physical structure from a
traceable part movement are not applied until the parent service event is approved. Untraceable part
movements capture only the part number and serial number of the physical part and are used for parts
that do not affect the physical structure, such as a filter change.
After you create the part movements, they are displayed in the summary pane under the Parts tab for
the associated job card or job task.
To implement the part movements, you must update the physical configuration. You can update the
physical configuration manually or submit the update through a customized workflow for approval.

Creating discrepancies
Discrepancies are irregularities or observations that are discovered for the physical asset during the
implementation of the related work order, job card, or job task. Discrepancies can also identify if there
was a failure with the physical part. A reported discrepancy can also contain fault information about the
part. This fault information, or fault code, is an identifier that indicates an itemized fault or problem that
a manufacturer has identified with a part. Physical parts can also report fault codes as a result of internal
diagnostics.
You relate a work order, job card, or job task to a service discrepancy to identify that the work order
addresses the service discrepancy. The related work order, job card, or job task is identified as the
corrective action for the service discrepancy. On completion of a work order or job card or job task, the
discrepancy related by the corrective action relationship is also completed.
Example:
As the following figure shows, you create a reported discrepancy for a worn tire tread found while
executing a job card to inspect the robot. You assign the corrective action for the discrepancy to a
job card to replace the tire tread.
