Enterprise Structure in Enterprise Asset Management
Plant
The Plant at which the operational systems of a company are installed is called the maintenance plant.
Planning Plant
If maintenance work is planned at this plant, the maintenance plant is also the maintenance planning plant. Locations subdivide a maintenance plant according to location-based criteria, such as site, buildings, and coordinates. A maintenance plant can also be subdivided into plant sections based on responsibility for production. The person responsible for the plant section is the contact person who coordinates production and maintenance (the plant engineer).
A Maintenance Planning Plant (Planning Plant for short) is the organizational unit in which maintenance requirements are planned. These requirements can either come from your own plant or from another maintenance plant assigned to this maintenance planning plant. The planners within a maintenance planning plant are defined by maintenance planner groups.
Maintenance Work Centers
The units of capacity in plant maintenance are managed as Maintenance Work Centers. Maintenance work centers are assigned to the respective maintenance plant as workshops.
The plant in which the operational systems of a company are installed is called a maintenance plant. If maintenance work is planned at this plant, the maintenance plant is also the maintenance planning plant (this is also referred to as the planning plant). Maintenance plants that do not plan their maintenance tasks are assigned to planning plants. Planning is performed for the maintenance plants in the planning plants that you enter.
Maintenance plants are subdivided according to location-based criteria such as site, building, and coordinates. A maintenance plant can also be subdivided into plant sections based on responsibility for production. The person responsible for a plant section is called the plant engineer, and the plant engineer is the contact person who coordinates production and maintenance.

Cross Plant Maintenance
Maintenance planning and execution may occur in the same plant or in different plants in the following ways:
Plant-specific planning:
One maintenance plant is assigned to a planning plant. In most organizational structures, maintenance measures are planned in the same plant where the maintenance requirement occurs. The maintenance orders are executed by workshops from the same plant, and the spare parts are stored in the same plant (plant 1000, for example).
Cross-plant planning:
Multiple maintenance plants are assigned to a planning plant. In one plant (plant 1200, for example), there is a need for maintenance, as a technical system requires maintenance (maintenance plant). All further functions such as maintenance planning, order execution, and spare parts storage are, however, the responsibility of another plant.
Other constellations:
The planning of maintenance measures and the spare parts procurement take for one plant (plant 1300, for example) place in another plant (plant 1000). However, the tasks are performed by locally available workshops.
