Scheduler 7.6.x Delivery Timeline
Advanced use cases being requested by clients
• Ability to schedule customer appointments • Match customer's location and requirements with technician's skills and availability to schedule a service
appointment
• Model a complex project plan using real world interdependencies of tasks • A plant turnaround requires many dependent actions to shutdown the location, perform project work, and re-
start the location to bring it back to an operational stage
• Ensure resources with the right qualifications are assigned to work with special requirements • Supervisors need to ensure that technicians have valid certifications to do the work
• How do the current traffic conditions effect work in progress? • Incorporate real-time traffic conditions to better route technicians to their work locations
• Handle larger volumes of data • Many Maximo clients require the ability to manage a heavy volume of work orders be it for shutdowns,
turnarounds, outages, or for dispatching field technicians
Appointment scheduling
• Make customer appointments within a schedule window
• Customer notifications – cancel / reschedule
Managing large projects
• Dependencies across work orders and tasks
• Highlight critical path, backward pass, % complete
Weather integration
• Incorporate weather data into planning/scheduling and dispatching
• Weather alerts / notifications
Dynamic dispatching
• Auto refresh, re-optimization based on real-time progress
• Incorporate real-time traffic conditions
Introducing – Scheduler Plus!

Weather − Configurable weather views − Enabled in Graphical Scheduling and
Graphical Assignment Appointment Scheduling
- Make customer appointments within a schedule window, see tech availability, incorporate weather
- Cancel, reschedule appointments Network dependencies (Phase 1)
- Link across WOs and tasks
Weather impact on Assets − Weather overlay on maintenance/operational
windows Weather impact on Job Plans
− Adding weather requirements to conditional job plans
− Variable length condition (ex: weather impacted) − Go or No Go criteria − Applying conditional job plan tasks to existing
WOs Network dependencies (Phase 2)
- Backward pass - Highlight critical path - Introduce % complete
Excel Export Enhance status color to include synonyms
Qualifications at WO & Task Level - Manual and Optimization
Weekly and Monthly planning buckets
Performance
Dynamic Dispatching − Auto refresh for improved tracking of
progress − Re-optimization based on real-time
progress, including emergent work − Real-time road conditions and traffic − Continuous weather updates and
weather event notifications − Everyplace template updates - weather
Weather based assignments
