Course Description:

❖ Maintenance planning and scheduling, arguably the most neglected functions of modern asset management, are at the heart of an effective maintenance management system. Through the use of work orders and a CMMS, maintenance planning covers the daily or weekly planning, scheduling and control activities to ensure that scheduled work is undertaken, and those available resources are being used optimally. Yet many organizations still struggle to make their maintenance planning and scheduling as effective as it should be.

❖ Most asset intensive organizations recognize that efficient and effective maintenance planning and scheduling is one of those cornerstone processes that can help assure equipment reliability and assist with attaining operational excellence. Yet studies show that most companies still do not perform maintenance planning effectively, with a resultant negative impact on work effectiveness, wrench time, equipment uptime, equipment reliability and cost. In the long run, unplanned or unscheduled downtime and maintenance store stock-outs rob the business of both capacity and profit.

❖ To achieve world class performance, organizations must plan, schedule and track maintenance activities. In the maintenance world, planning and scheduling are two different functions that work together to create a maintenance program. Planning is the the process of planning, while scheduling is the process of reconfiguring workloads in a production/manufacturing process. Scheduling is used to allocate plant and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan production processes, and purchase materials.
