We are using Apps 10 and PSO 6.11.
We have a scheduling scenario that we cannot seem to get to work the way we want in PSO. We have many locations that we service that have many pieces of equipment. For example, one site we have, which is not uncommon has 15 pieces of equipment which we service.
The customer and our company want all the work for all this equipment scheduled consecutively across a single week. We have a single work order. Each piece of equipment has it’s own work task per service being performed. In this example, each piece will have 3 work tasks, making a total of 45 work tasks.
These were all generated from multiple PM Actions, and using a Group Rule, when generated, they all combined into a single work order. We had dependencies setup where two of the tasks per equipment are dependent on the third task, set to be “All or Nothing”, “Same Resource”, and Max Delay of 360 minutes.
These dependency settings get PSO to always schedule the 3 tasks together properly, but I cannot get the rest of the tasks to stay together much at all. I have attempted adjusting the dependencies in many different ways to make various tasks dependent on each other, playing with the “Same Resource” and the Max Delay settings. Most of the time, it results in Un allocations. Other times, it spreads the work out with gaps in time and multiple resources.
Any ideas on how I might be able to achieve this?
