MAINTENANCE WORK CENTER

Maintenance Work Center

Definition
Operations are carried out at a work center. In the R/3 System work centers are business objects
that can represent the following real work centers, for example:

• Machines, machine groups

• Production lines

• Assembly work centers

• Employees, groups of employees

In the Plant Maintenance (PM) application component, the following work centers exist:

• Main work center

• Performing work center

• Work center as production machine

The work centers are distinguished by work center type (for example, production work center,
maintenance work center). The work center type determines which data can be maintained in the
master record for the work center.

The Main Work Center

The main work center usually represents one person or a department, responsible for ensuring that
the maintenance work in an order header is executed by the work centers performing the individual
operations.

The Performing Work Center

The performing work center usually represents one person or a group of people who perform the
maintenance work in the operations of an order.
Please note: We are not going to have internal activity costing; hence Main work centers in MO
header and performing work centers in MO operation are master date for reporting purpose. They
don’t have any activity type with activity price attached.

Purpose
To carryout the maintenance tasks, related analysis and reporting.

Prerequisites
SAP R/3 component involved: SAP PM. Master Data like Person responsible, plant and other
customized data.

MAINTENANCE WORK CENTER

Process Flow
This scenario shows you how to create new maintenance work center. Change the existing work
center and displaying existing work center.
Maintenance task usually carry in work centers.

USE:
The Main Work Center

The main work center must be entered in the order header, whereupon its master data is copied into
the order as a default.

During internal processing, the main work center is also used as a default for the performing work
center.

The Performing Work Center

In addition to the main work center, you can create a specific employee, who has been represented
in the Human Resources (HR) component with their own master record, as Person responsible. You
can also assign other employees to an operation in the Requirement assignment.

The performing work center is managed in the operation data for the order. It is proposed as a
performing work center for the operations in the order. Since capacities are assigned to the
performing work center and costs assigned using the activity type, the performing work center is
required primarily for capacity planning, scheduling and cost determination.

It is also possible to create operations without entering a performing work center. A control key,
which is not linked to a cost center or an activity type, must then be assigned to these operations. It
may be that the operations are simply used for documentation purposes, for example, operations
that only contain safety instructions or specifications for the production/resources tools to be used.
Operations without a specified performing work center are also used in external processing.

The Work Center as Production Machine

The work center as production machine is managed in the location data for the technical object of an
order. It is only entered if the technical object at which maintenance work should be executed is a
machine in Production.

In case Hazira CMS, All machines which will carry out refurbishment activity like Grinding, Machining,
Turning, Boring, would be performing work center of this category.
