Condition-based maintenance of assets and building elements
The technical quality of assets and building elements varies over time. In Planon ProCenter this technical quality is referred to as the asset’s or building element’s condition.
In the course of time, an asset’s or building element’s condition can deteriorate, improve or remain stable. To indicate how much the condition has deteriorated before maintenance or improved after maintenance, condition scores and other data are added/updated on an asset/building element. This is done either manually or automatically, depending on the method used.
There are two methods to update/add condition data for an asset or building element:
Manually – in Assets
Automated – by processing data from Survey Management > Condition Surveys.
When the maintenance activities are completed, the condition of the asset is updated based on the actual completion date of the maintenance. The planned execution of the next maintenance on that asset will be based on actual facts instead of assumptions.
New maintenance plans are made based on the latest condition score of the asset. If no recent score is available, the original surveyed score is used to calculate the execution date of the next maintenance.

•    A building element can have various locations and may include multiple Asset condition details. It may be that only one 'condition detail' changes due to maintenance. In such cases, the Aggregated condition score of this asset's condition is based on the Condition score (of the condition detail) and the calculated conditions of the other details.
The conditions of the other details are calculated using the time passed since the initial survey and the deterioration period and deterioration curve of the building element.
•    Multiple assets also have various locations. Provided that these locations are in the same property, you can use the manual method of updating condition scores. The condition details are then aggregated in a similar way as with building elements. The same applies to updating condition score calculations when compiling a maintenance plan and generating orders.
