ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
Functional Scope:
Plant maintenance plays a decisive role in the success of a business due to increased level of automations
and consequent high cost factor attached to the same. Operational systems and Equipments need to be
available twenty-four hours a day in order to guarantee a cost-effective distribution of fixed costs.
More stringent safety, quality assurance requirements mean there is an ever-greater demand for regular
maintenance of operating systems and equipments. Furthermore, the status of Plant Maintenance has
been significantly raised by an increase in the number of legal and public demands for environmental
protection and system safety standards.
The SAP Plant Maintenance System provides solutions for the management and maintenance of technical
systems in all branches of industry.
● Inspection: All measures that determine the actual condition of an operational system, determine
the cause of wear and tear, deducing the tasks required.
● Maintenance: All measures that delay the reduction of wear reserve of an operational system.
● Repair: All measures that restore the target condition of an operational system.
● Improvement: All measures that improve functional safety of an operational system without
changing its specified function.

Plant Maintenance (PM) is a commonly adopted practice, in all Industries, to ensure that designed output
(quantitative as well as qualitative) of equipment is delivered consistently. Broadly Plant Maintenance can be
divided into two categories, Planned Maintenance & Unplanned Maintenance.
• Plant Maintenance processes can be defined as the Processes used by an organization to:
– Maintain the equipment and facilities used to produce products or services
– Efficiently manage the resources (labor and material)
• Plant Maintenance (PM) module is an integral part of SAP R/3 and comes under “Logistics”.

Plant Maintenance
Depending on the size and structure of your company, a maintenance planning group may be an individual
department (for central work preparation), a group of Technician or a workshop.
ROM1 Plant
Operations are carried out at a work center. I.e. Group of People, 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
Defined for ROMCO:
In Rabigh Independent Power Plant Phase-II of ROMCO, the Maintenance Workmen and the Supervisory
Staff can be identified as work centers with capacities. The work centers are generally arranged discipline
wise like Project, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation and Individual Employee etc.
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
Additional Work Centers for allocating and capturing the External Manpower (Warranty) would be created
to meet the requirements of ROMCO. Also, Work centers can be created at later stage to meet the future
requirements whenever needed.

Functional location & Equipment together should be able to represent ROMCO's technical (equipment)
structure in a systematic manner. Easy search facility and location hierarchy should be built in the system.
KKS Coding structure is taken as guidelines for defining the Technical Hierarchy.
Functional Locations (FL) describe physical positions in the plants, with Boiler process, turbine, generator,
etc... are performing their relevant functionalities.
A functional location is an element in a technical structure, representing an area of a system at which an
object can be installed. Objects that can be installed at functional locations are called pieces of
equipment in the PM System.
Plant Maintenance
● Define and manage each functional location in the Plant Maintenance (PM) component in a
separate master record.
● Build up a separate maintenance history for each functional location.
● The labels for functional locations are structured hierarchically. One can specify the structure
according to the company criteria.
● Using hierarchical labels, a company can easily represent systems or operational structures from a
functional perspective. The hierarchical structure of functional locations can therefore represent
the interrelations of the operational functions within a system.
● Each hierarchy level of the functional location labels represents a given level of detail in the
description of the system.
The Functional Location Master Record contains the following types of data:
● General data
This is fixed data, which generally does not change in the course of time, for example, the
acquisition value of Functional Location, its size & dimensions, Manufacturer, the year of
construction etc.
● Location data
This data can be, for example, the maintenance plant, location, plant section and sort field.
● Organization data
This data includes the company code, cost center, maintenance planning plant, main work
center, maintenance planner group etc.
● Structure data
In this screen, the structure indicator used and superior functional location in the functional
locations hierarchy will be maintained.
Plant Maintenance
For Rabigh Independent Power Plant Phase-II, Functional location labeling will be done based on
Functional criteria and the respective functional locations are further divided in to sub functional
locations.
An indicator that let you differentiate functional locations according to how they are used. Each location
category required in the system is described using parameters. The number of functional location
categories in a system depends on the number of parameter constellations required.
M Technical System
Numbering of functional Locations will be based on the structure indicator. The Structure Indicator defines
the format of the code used to describe the Functional Location hierarchy.
The Structure Indicator determines the edit mask and the number of the hierarchy levels when you create
functional location structures.
for this structure indicator will be as shown below with hierarchical levels marked, the notation for edit
mask is X- Alpha Numeric, N- Numeric, S- Any Character.

3.3 Equipment
The business object "Equipment" is an individual, physical object that is to be maintained independently.
It can be installed in a technical system or part of a technical system. We can manage all types of objects
as pieces of equipment. Equipments can also be managed as "assets" in Asset Management.
All types of device as pieces of equipment (for example, production utilities, transportation utilities, test
equipment, production resources/tools, buildings, PCs) can be identified as Equipments.
Each piece of equipment is a separate master record and an individual maintenance history can be set for
each one. The system manages the master records for pieces of equipment at client level. This means that
their numbers are valid for the entire corporate group.
This will facilitate,
● Defining breakdown / preventive maintenance tasks.
● Measuring specific parameters.
● Classification data.
● Collection, evaluation, retrieval of data including cost of maintenance, history and usage.
● Spare parts planning.
The Equipment Master Record contains the following types of data:
● General data
This is fixed data, which generally does not change in the course of time, for example, the
acquisition value of the piece of equipment, its size & dimensions, Manufacturer and the year of
construction.
● Location data
This is time-dependent data. It can change repeatedly in the course of time. This data can be, for
example, the maintenance planner group, the responsible work centre, the maintenance plant
and the cost centre.
● Organization data
This is organization related data like Company code, Asset code, Planning plant etc.
● Serial number data
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
This is data that we specify when we want to manage our pieces of equipment not only as
individual objects, but also from an inventory management perspective. This data comprises
material data as well as stock and customer information.
● Warranty data
Vendor warranty related information.
● Measuring points
● Classification
● Asset
Equipment would be either treated as an individual Asset or as a part of an Asset. Link between
Equipment and the Asset Master is established by mentioning the Asset no. in the Organisation
tab of the Equipment Master. Directly, an Asset master can be viewed by double-clicking the Asset
no. Similarly, an Equipment Master data can be accessed from an Asset master.
Considering the requirement of ROMCO, Serialization of Materials will be used for Equipments.
● The Equipment Serial number on the equipment provided by the manufacturer can be treated as
serial number of this equipment against its material number in the stores.
Equipment Categories:
An indicator used to differentiate pieces of equipment according to its characteristic & usage. In SAP,
Equipment categories control the number assignment of Equipments.
There are two possibilities when you are creating a piece of equipment:
● Internal number assignment
The numbering shall be internal (SAP generated internal number) and is limited to 18 characters.
However, Technical Identification No of Equipment (KKS Code) can be maintained in a separate
field in Equipment Master.
● External number assignment
Enter an equipment number in this field, paying attention to any company guidelines.
Plant Maintenance
Considering the requirement of ROMCO, Internal Number Assignment will be made active for all
Equipment Categories of Rabigh Independent Power Plant Phase II.
Below are the Equipment Categories that will be defined for Rabigh Independent Power Plant Phase II.
● E - Machines
● C - IT Equipments
● R- Production Resources / Tools
● T- Test/ Measurement Equipments
● H- Safety Equipments
A functional location/equipment BOM is a list of all assemblies and spares for a functional location or
equipment.
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
A BOM for a functional location/equipment is used to describe the structure of a functional location or equipment
and to allocate spares for carrying out maintenance activities.
● Material planning using task lists when the BOM is used to assign materials to the operations in the
task list.
● It also provides an overview of all spares that might be required for carrying out the maintenance
tasks.
● Bills of Materials define the lower levels of the asset hierarchy in PM.
Types of BOM:
The bill of material type is defined by the type of master record that you assign to the bill of material. The
following types of BOM are found in Plant Maintenance:
● Material BOMs
● Equipment BOMs
● Functional location BOMs
Material BOM:
The BOM can contain items of different item categories such as stock items, non-stock items and text
items. It can also have Materials with BOM attached to it.
For eg: a Mechanical seal with Rotary head, Stator, Carbon, Spring etc.
Equipment BOM:
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
A list used to describe the structure of a piece of equipment and to allocate spares to the piece of
equipment for maintenance. An equipment bill of material can be created for each piece of equipment or
for a group of technical objects.
For eg: a pump with BOM Items viz., Impeller, Shaft, Sleeve, Mechanical seal, Bearings etc.
A list used to describe the structure of a functional location and to allocate spares to the functional
location for maintenance. A functional location BOM can be created for each functional location or for a
group of technical objects.
For eg: Plant with Gas Turbine Units & Steam Generation Units can be considered as a functional location.
BOM Details:
The data which is maintained in the BOM header is valid for the entire BOM and its components (BOM
items and sub-items respectively).
Structure of BOM header:
The header data is composed of: Texts, Quantity Specifications, Administrative Data & General Data
● BOM text
This text applies to the entire BOM group.
● Quantity Specifications
The quantity specifications are the basis for all quantities entered in a bill of material (BOM). Quantity
data is only relevant for production planning.
● Administrative Data
The administrative data retained by the system tell you,
● Who created the BOM and when
● Who changed the BOM and when
● The validity of the BOM
● The change number used to make changes to the BOM.
● General Data
The remaining data in the bill of material (BOM) header can be classified as "general data". It contains
Validity data, BOM status, Authorization group, Deletion indicator, Laboratory/Office Material data
(material BOMs only) and Technical Object data (Equipment & Functional Location BOMs).
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
BOM Details:
The data which is maintained in the BOM header is valid for the entire BOM and its components (BOM
items and sub-items respectively).
Structure of BOM header:
The header data is composed of: Texts, Quantity Specifications, Administrative Data & General Data
● BOM text
This text applies to the entire BOM group.
● Quantity Specifications
The quantity specifications are the basis for all quantities entered in a bill of material (BOM). Quantity
data is only relevant for production planning.
● Administrative Data
The administrative data retained by the system tell you,
● Who created the BOM and when
● Who changed the BOM and when
● The validity of the BOM
● The change number used to make changes to the BOM.
● General Data
The remaining data in the bill of material (BOM) header can be classified as "general data". It contains
Validity data, BOM status, Authorization group, Deletion indicator, Laboratory/Office Material data
(material BOMs only) and Technical Object data (Equipment & Functional Location BOMs).
The components of a technical object are located in the items of the BOM. Item data is only valid for a
particular item within the BOM. Items are differentiated by their category (). The item categories are
differentiated by an item category key. The different item categories are represented by a letter key in the
standard SAP System:
● L: Stock item
This item category applies to components which are kept as stock. Any components entered with
this category in the BOM must have a valid master record in the system.
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
When you use this item category, stock item components are automatically reserved for the
maintenance order.
● N: Non-stock item
This item category is used for components which are not kept in stock if they are used in a bill of
material (BOM). Non-stock items can be entered in the BOM with or without a master record. To
enter a non-stock item without a master record, you must simply enter a descriptive text.
When you use this item category, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition for
these components, when they are used for maintenance purposes. This leads to order-specific
materials procurement via the purchasing department.
● R: Variable-size item
This item category enables you to specify different sized sections of a component with one
material number. Variable-size items are distinguished by the fact that format entries, such as
length and width, are taken and converted into the quantity required for warehouse management
purposes.
When you use this item category, variable data, such as the size of a steel sheet required to repair
some planking, can be entered directly by the user during order processing. You do not have
created new material master records with fixed dimensions in the system each time.
● D: Document item
This item category is for components which contain information stored as documents. A
document can be a design drawing, program, photograph and so on.
When you use this item category, the bill of material (BOM) is connected to the document
management system.
● T: Text item
When you use this item category, the system stores your text in a text file using the long text
processing function.
● I: PM structure element
This item category is for components in plant maintenance which are only used for structuring a
technical object (PM assembly). No plant data is necessary for this item.
This item category is only used in plant maintenance for equipment and material bills of material
relevant to plant maintenance.
● K: Class Items
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
The class item enables you to create a class as the components in a configurable bill of material
(BOM for a standard product). Several objects can be allocated to this class, and differentiated by
different characteristics.
Item Status:
For a BOM item, you must specify whether it is relevant in a construction or plant maintenance context,
for example. In other words, you must specify in the item detail screen whether it is relevant to
construction or to plant maintenance. For a BOM of application type Plant Maintenance, the status "Plant
Maintenance" is automatically set by the system in this screen. This cannot be modified. Depending on
how the BOM usage was set, you can change - among other things - the entries in the following two item
status fields:
● Costing relevance
● Spare Part Indicator
Data relevant to Plant Maintenance:
The indicator "PM assembly" is maintained in the data section maintenance relevant data. This indicator
can only be maintained when the BOM usage allows the item status "maintenance".
If an item is indicated as a PM assembly, then it will be displayed as a component of a technical system
when maintenance tasks are processed. You can use an item which is indicated as a PM assembly to
describe an item in more detail. For example: because the maintenance work has to be carried out just on
this assembly in a technical object. The assembly can also be used to locate damage more precisely.
Naming/Numbering Convention:
Since BOM consists of materials with master records, SAP naming conventions will be used which consists
of 18 characters. Internal numbering will be used for Functional location/Equipment BOM.
All the operations and activities required for carrying out a maintenance task should be standardized and
available in a standard format at the time of performing a maintenance task or planning a maintenance
task.
Task list describe the sequence of maintenance activities which are performed during the execution of
maintenance tasks.
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
Task lists standardize the activities as well as save time and effort while creating maintenance orders and
maintenance plans.
Operations in task lists can be further subdivided into sub operations. Task list also includes information
on the tools required for carrying out an operation, the components required, and the work centers that
will be performing the operations, whether the operations are being performed by internal or external
agencies.
General maintenance task lists are task lists which are used for general maintenance tasks irrespective of
the equipment or functional location. Creation of general maintenance task lists reduces the time & effort
in creating specific equipment or functional location task lists for carrying out general maintenance tasks.
Task Lists are made up of Operations and Sub-Operations. The Operations and Sub-Operations, which
comprise Task Lists, can be created in brief or in considerable detail. Operations describe the individual
maintenance tasks to be performed in a short text field, (long text is available for a more detailed
breakdown of the task to be performed) and the resources in terms of manpower, materials or services
required carrying out the task described.
To create a Task List, a code/number should be given to task list. This is called "Task List Group". You can
either have your own numbering system or use SAP generated internal numbers. The system will allocate
a 'Counter' for each "Group". Within a task list group by use of "counter". A Task List Description also
must be added.
The Work Centre (Work Centre) which will provide the labor or specialist equipment
The Control Key which defines the handling of the accounting activities for an operation - normal settings
are:
PM01 - own labor, contract labor treated as own labor and specialist equipment
PM03 - external service procurement
Naming/Numbering Convention
Task lists can be either externally or internally numbered. Both character and number formats are
allowed. It should be of 8 characters.
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
Task lists can be grouped, and a task list group combines task lists from a logical perspective. A group is a
pool of maintenance tasks with the same or similar maintenance work processes. A group counter
differentiates tasks lists within a group. When one of the three types of task list is created for the first
time, the system will automatically allocate the task list to a group and the counter number 01. The group
has more significance for general maintenance task lists, as they are accessed using the group number.
Group numbers for general task lists can be internally or externally assigned. Group numbers for
equipment task lists and functional location task lists can only be assigned internally. The PM System
manages all maintenance task lists within a group as one unit. Therefore task lists could be divided into
several smaller and more manageable groups. This would reduce the volume of data processed when the
group is accessed and has a positive effect on the system response time.
Task list group is 8 character field. Following is the suggested codification structure for General Task Lists
(Type=A).
Single cycle plans are simple maintenance cycles consisting of one predefined interval for carrying out
maintenance tasks. In a single cycle plan exactly one time based or performance based maintenance cycle
is defined in which the interval for executing the maintenance task is specified.
Time based cycle denotes the work being done at regular time intervals -say after every 60 days
Performance based cycle is based on performance of the technical system, like after every 1000 Hours.
Naming/Numbering Convention
Strategy plans are maintenance plans which consist of complex maintenance cycles. Strategy plans are
made of maintenance strategies and maintenance packages.
Maintenance strategy defines the rules for the sequence of planned maintenance operations. It includes
general scheduling information, and can therefore be assigned to as many maintenance task lists and
maintenance plans as required.
Maintenance Packages contain the time or performance condition when maintenance must be performed.
For eg every 10 days or every 5000Hours
Naming/Numbering Convention
ROMCO BUSINESS BLUE PRINT
Plant Maintenance
Measuring points describe the physical and/or logical locations at which a condition is described e.g. the
pressure of gas at a certain point. Measuring points are located on technical objects i.e. on pieces of
equipment or functional locations. Measurement readings are taken at measuring points in particular
measurement units at particular intervals.
To differentiate more easily between the individual measuring points and provide them with a unit, each
measuring point is assigned to a characteristic from the classification system. For each Measuring point a
text or a descriptive number is used to describe the position of a measuring point at a technical object.
Counters are tools that are used to represent the wear and tear of an object, consumption, or the
reduction of an object’s useful life (for example, the milometer for a vehicle, or an electricity meter for an
electric-powered system). Counters are located on technical objects i.e. on pieces of equipment or
functional locations.
Counter readings are taken at counters at particular intervals and in particular measurement units.
Counter readings describe a status at a counter at a particular point in time.
Naming/Numbering Convention
Internal numbering will be used. Descriptive text or numbering can be used to identify the measuring
points and counters.

Condition-based maintenance reduces plant downtime for on-going maintenance to the minimum by
means of a heightened monitoring system. It is the process of monitoring the actual condition of an
equipment / object and carrying out maintenance to avoid the potential breakdowns in future.
This is a proactive downtime avoidance methodology, which can also be called Condition monitoring
and diagnostic maintenance. This is achieved by recording the condition of machine at a point of
time on regular basis. Inspection and exchange of data in real time communicated through open
integrated systems in real time provides increased operating time, reduced maintenance costs;
improved exploitation of resources and better maintenance of equipment.
