Maintenance planning and scheduling should dramatically improve the productivity of maintenance. For example, a group of 30 maintenance technicians should be performing the work of 47 persons when aided by a single planner. Yet most maintenance organizations do not have a planning function and most that do are frustrated.
The workshop reviews the fundamentals and then provides class exercises to illustrate the principles and techniques to achieve success. This 2-day workshop not only covers the theory and vision, but the nuts and bolts of how planning and scheduling work. Throughout the event, the course encourages the thoughtful development of planning and scheduling activities within your own facility by your team. This course allows class participants to take specific practices home to their own organizations to implement a new planning organization or dramatically improve an existing one.
Consider the following actual successes of companies that have implemented strategies and techniques from the Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook:
Recognizing that most plants already cover their reactive maintenance, almost all of any extra work order completion is purely proactive work. So planning and scheduling answers the question: “How can I do extra proactive work when I have my hands full with reactive work?” Discover and take home these practices to your own company!
This course will be held in a highly interactive workshop format with case studies and real-world examples. The material has been designed using Adult Learning Methodology that believes the ideal ratio for optimum learning and retention is 60%/40%:
60% – blended combination of discussion, practical exercises, simulations, and case studies
40% – material/slides
Participants will engage in interactive exercises and discussions throughout the course to ensure the material is not only taught, but can also be applied. Limited class size (15-20 participants) is strictly enforced to enhance individual learning experiences and interaction with the instructor and other participants.
Pre & Post Course Assessments
Each attendee will complete a pre-course assessment to gauge their current levels of knowledge and experience. At the conclusion of the course, attendee’s will then complete a post-course assessment to ensure the material was presented effectively.
Planning & Scheduling was designed specifically for individuals participating in or aspiring to enter the Maintenance or Shutdown Planning fields.
