Organization Structure
General Organizational Units
Plant:
The plant is an important organizational unit in Logistics. From a maintenance
point of view, the plant represents both a production site within a company and a
location at which operational systems are installed.
In the above example, there are three plants: 0001, 0002 and 0003.
Maintenance Planning Plant:
The maintenance planning plant is the organizational unit in which maintenance
requirements are planned. It is the plant at which maintenance tasks for an object are
planned and prepared. All data that is required for maintenance, such as maintenance
task lists, materials, inventory management of spare parts and so on, is managed
primarily at this plant.
In the above example, plant 0001 is the maintenance planning plant.
Company Code:
The company code is an organizational unit within Accounting for which all completed
financial accounting transactions can be represented including entering events that have
to be posted and creating all supporting documents legally required for individual
account closing, such as balance sheets and profit and loss statements.
In the above example, all three plants belong to the same company code.
Location related Organizational Units
Plant Section
Plants can be subdivided into plant sections, based on areas in production that are
responsible for particular tasks. The person responsible for a plant section is also the
contact person who coordinates between the production and maintenance
departments.
In the above example, there could be several complex production systems for each
plant, with each system representing a separate plant section.
Technical and Operational Systems
The existing operational systems and technical resources (for example, production
resources/tools, utilities, and test and measurement equipment) are managed
in the PM component as functional locations and pieces of equipment. These
terms are explained in more detail in Chapter 3, Representing and Structuring
Maintenance Objects.
In the above example, Technical and Operational systems are managed at each of the
three plants.
Plant related Organizational Units
Maintenance Planner Group
The planners in a maintenance planning plant are assigned to maintenance planner
groups. Depending on the size and organization of a company, this may be a separate
department (central work scheduling) or a foremans or shop floor area.
In the above example, there could be three maintenance planner groups in the
maintenance planning plant (plant 0001). One group could plan the maintenance of
production systems, the second the maintenance of buildings, and the third the
maintenance of vehicles.
