+Instead of defining a period and duration for only one preventive maintenance
+per equipment, you can define multiple preventive maintenance kind for each
+equipment.
+
+Maintenance Kinds have to be defined through the configuration menu. Their name
+have to be unique and can be set as active or inactive, should these not be
+used anymore.
+
+On any equipment over the maintenance tab, the maintenance plan be accessible,
+allowing to add different maintenance kind with their
+own frequency and duration. The next maintenance date will then be computed
+automatically according to the start's date and the frequency defined, but the
+maintenance request won't be created automatically as is the case in Odoo's
+Maintenance module. In the plan there's also a field allowing the user to set the
+maintenance horizon, insert the instructions to follow on the maintenance that
+will be forwarded to the maintenance request generated from the plan.
+
+This module uses the original Cron job of Odoo's Maintenance module to generate
+maintenance requests. To do so, it takes into account the planning horizon and
+generates all maintenance requests whose schedule date would fall inside that
+planning horizon. Therefore, the maintenance manager can have a proper planning
+of how many maintenance requests are programming for the future. Leaving planning
+horizon to 0 will only create those maintenance request that are scheduled for
+today.
+
+We can also create maintenance requests from a plan using a domain for selecting the equipments.
+This way, we might have a single plan that will generate all the requests.
+In order to use it, we need to mark the `Generate with Domain` field.
