Hi folks -

The topic is Fixed vs. Floating schedule PMs!!  I have a pretty good idea how each schedule type works however, I am interested in learning how your organization/you have used these PM schedule types.

Are your PMs predominately Fixed or Floating schedule? What % of each do you have?

If you are part of a more mature maintenance organization that realizes the importance of completing PMs by their due date and monitors them with KPIs is there a down side to most PMs being Fixed schedule?

Say 95% of your PMs were Fixed schedule and the outlying 5% were set up as Floating schedule. The Floating schedule PMs would only be PMs that could not be executed without an equipment outage. Those PM would be set up to generate WOs in a status of HOLDSD (hold for shut down). Folks would be able to find these WOs when needed and the scheduler knows not to schedule them by the assigned status.

How does your organization use Fixed vs. Floating schedule PMs? Is there set criteria or a guide that defines which to use based on the work?

Thanks in advance, I am excited to read and learn from your experience!!

1. There are too many PMs in system (wrong ones, redundant, or unnecessary PMs). 
2. Not enough resources to execute good PMs.
3. Lack of commitment by management for PM program.
