# Maintenance Plan Instance

:lock: MaintenancePlanInstance.**Show**

## Overview

A particular **Maintenance Plan** is a reusable object that is associated to **Areas**, **Materials**, **Resources** or **Containers** via a **Maintenance Plan Instance (MPI)** object. An **MPI** object has an owner mpi which is responsible to manage that particular **MPI**. Each **Maintenance Activity**, in turn, has a mpi which defines the personnel who are qualified and authorized to perform maintenance tasks. **Areas**, **Materials**, **Resources** or **Containers** can be associated with multiple **MPIs**. However, the same objects can only be associated once with the same **Maintenance Plan**.

The **MPI** page displays general information on the specific **MPI**. In addition it enables the user to perform all the operations that can be performed on a specific **MPI**.
