What do you have to consider regarding a cross-plant planning scenario?
Correct Answer: A,C
Explanation A cross-plant planning scenario is a special planning process that allows you to carry out material requirements planning for various plants centrally. This facilitates the production of a product in another plant and it also guarantees a smooth flow of materials between different plants. In a cross-plant planning scenario, you can assign multiple maintenance plants to a planning plant (n: 1) or multiple planning plants to a maintenance plant (m: 1). This means that you can plan and execute maintenance orders in different plants using a common planning plant or a common maintenance plant. There is no limit on the number of maintenance plants that can be assigned to a planning plant, so answer B is incorrect. A cross-plant planning scenario is also possible across different company codes, as long as the plants belong to the same controlling area. Therefore, answer D is also incorrect.

Question 12
Which functions are available in the Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners app? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: A,C
Question 13
How does a performance-based maintenance plan calculate the interval between start date and planned date?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation A performance-based maintenance plan calculates the interval between start date and planned date by dividing the cycle length by the annual performance. The cycle length is the time or counter reading that is required for one maintenance cycle. The annual performance is the estimated time or counter reading that the object will achieve in one year. For example, if the cycle length is 100 hours and the annual performance is 2000 hours, then the interval is 100/2000 = 0.05 years or 18.25 days.

Question 14
In which maintenance object can you use an activity type? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Correct Answer: A,C
Question 15
What are characteristics of the Preparation and Scheduling phase within phase-based maintenance? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question
Correct Answer: B,D
Explanation The Preparation and Scheduling phase within phase-based maintenance is the phase where the maintenance planner divides the maintenance effort into manageable groups, levels out the workload over several weeks, determines the concrete time period for the requested maintenance work, and checks the availability of all the resources, spare parts and services needed1. Option B (The order moves to the Preparation phase once it is approved and released) is correct, because the approval and release of the order is the last step of the previous phase (Approval phase)2. Once the order is approved and released, it is ready for preparation and scheduling. Option D (The configuration of the order type decides whether you use Resource Scheduling or not) is also correct, because the order type determines whether the order is relevant for resource scheduling or not2. Resource scheduling is an optional step in the Preparation and Scheduling phase, where the planner can assign and dispatch the orders and operations to the technicians using the Resource Scheduling apps2. Option A (If you use the Resource Scheduling apps, you always dispatch orders and operations) is incorrect, because the Resource Scheduling apps allow the planner to either dispatch or assign the orders and operations2. Dispatching means that the planner assigns a specific technician and a specific time slot for the order or operation, while assigning means that the planner assigns only a technician or a team, but not a specific time slot2. Option C (Maintenance Planning Buckets give you a list of non-approved notifications) is also incorrect, because the Maintenance Planning Buckets app gives the planner a list of approved and released orders that are ready for preparation and scheduling2. The non-approved notifications are handled in the previous phase (Screening phase)2.
