PM Schedule Monitor reviews the maintenance schedule for a team or an entire organization against technician capacity and preventive maintenance (PM) cadence. It flags drift, such as overdue jobs, technician overload, and new reactive work orders disrupting planned PM. It then proposes rescheduling or reassigning specific work orders to rebalance the workload.

When to Use PM Schedule Monitor​

You can use PM Schedule Monitor to find scheduling problems before they affect your planned maintenance, for example when technicians are overloaded or overdue work orders are building up.

Before You Start​

To use the PM Schedule Monitor skill, you need:

  • Permission to view work orders across teams.
