Definition

The cycle set sequence has various tasks in a multiple counter plan.

  • Grouping of multiple cycles into a set
  • Determination of the set sequence in the scheduling
  • Determination of maintenance item and date for which a call object is generated

In a multiple counter plan, a maximum of 99 different cycle sets are possible. The number of sets automatically determines the sequence in the scheduling.

Use

By defining various cycle sets, a scheduling picture in the form of A - B - A - B , and so on, can be attained. By assigning individual maintenance items to "A" or "B", you can generate different tasks (see example).

Dependencies

Example

Here is an example of a vehicle maintenance. The vehicle should have a minor inspection after 15,000 kilometers or one year. After another 15,000 kilometers and/or two years, a major inspection should be performed.

In a multiple counter plan you can define two cycle sets for this with the above cycles. Assign a maintenance item to each cycle set (for example, cycle set 1 and cycle set 2). One maintenance item has the minor inspection, the other the major inspection.

Scheduling process

  1. The scheduling takes cycle set 1 into account to calculate the first date, and only generates one call object for the maintenance item assigned to cycle set 1 for this date.
  2. Building on this date, the scheduling uses the cycles of cycle set 2 to determine the next planned date and also only generates one call object here for the corresponding maintenance item.
  3. After the second and thus highest cycle set were scheduled, the scheduling considers the first cycle set again.
