The Maintenance Class Code (MCC) is used to establish and assign preventive maintenance intervals and set expected monthly utilization for meter validations on units and components.
All units must have an MCC assigned, but the only requirement for an MCC is to create a code and assign a description to the code. However, in order to validate meters and utilize the Forecaster, the user must setup the Monthly Expected Usage parameters.
An MCC can be assigned to a unit on the Asset/Codes tab of Unit Main or to a component on Component Main in the Component Codes section.
The MCC is independent of all other asset codes. Units with different activities and classifications can be assigned to the same MCC.
Within each MCC the user can define work-scheduling criteria used by the Forecaster program such as seasonal use, meter type and maximum expected usage per month.
MCC’s are also used in setting up Standard Job intervals and assigning jobs. All units with the same MCC will be on the same service cycle and have the same standard jobs assigned.

Type – there are four different meter types: Mile, Hour, Kilometer (KM), and Count. Each MCC can have up to two different meter types: First (Primary Meter) and Second (Secondary Meter).
Min Usage – user-determined value for the minimum expected monthly usage for that meter type.
Max Usage – user-determined value for the maximum expected monthly usage for that meter type.
Length – user-determined value for the expected length on that meter type, this field determines when a meter reading will turn over the odometer.
Season Section:
Season Code – enter a Season Code or double click in the field to select one from the list of values (LOV).
Season Start – read-only, value is pulled from the season code entered in the Season Code field.
