Explore the fundamentals of maintenance planning and scheduling, including workflow, classification and prioritization, backlog management, and the roles of planners and schedulers to improve cost efficiency and turnaround management.
Understand maintenance planning and workflow prevent delays and costs by defining work, prioritizing tasks, sequencing steps, and ensuring tools and materials for reactive, PM or CBN, and preplanned PM jobs.
Learn to classify maintenance into preventive and corrective types, with preventive subtypes—calendar-based, run-based, condition-based, and operator-based maintenance—aimed at reducing degradation and downtime.
Identify corrective maintenance as work performed after asset failure to restore function, and learn the three types: same schedule, major repairs and projects, and breakdown or emergency jobs.
Rank maintenance work by criticality and impact to create a clear priority. Originator and coordinator validate priorities, considering safety, financial, environmental, and reputational risks to prevent downtime.
Categorize equipment by criticality using a risk-based approach, define maintenance strategies, and optimize resources and spares with a risk matrix that quantifies safety, environment, and operation consequences.
Plan by defining what work will be accomplished and how, ensuring clear understanding, required resources, steps, spares, and tools before scheduling. Identify gaps with idle time, rework, and stockouts.
Explore the maintenance scheduling process, differentiating it from planning, ensuring resources—manpower, material, assets—are available with minimal normal-operation impact, and applying six principles for effective, priority-driven schedules.
Assess maintenance planning and scheduling by analyzing plan work, schedule compliance, on-time kits, right parts delivery, and pm and cbm driven work to optimize performance.
Learn to balance maintenance effectiveness and cost by optimizing frequency, efficiency, and resources, using failure rate and mtbf to set intervals, and ensuring up-to-date task lists and staffing.
Planning and Scheduling are important in every field. But, Planning and Scheduling is particularly important in the field of Maintenance. But, unfortunately, Planning and Scheduling do not get due importance. Planning & Scheduling is often neglected and Planners are engaged in other jobs. It has been proven that if Best Practices of planning and schedules are followed, then not only maintenance cost gets reduced, the overall efficiency of the maintenance team gets improved. The course focuses on the Best Practices of Maintenance Planning and Scheduling. The course discusses the process flow of Maintenance Planning and Scheduling as followed in Benchmarked Plants in detail. The course covers work prioritization, planning process, scheduling process, the role of planner & scheduler, etc. The course also includes practical examples and scenarios which help you understand the topic. At the end of the course, there is a quiz also, which tests your knowledge gap. If you are new in this field or you are planning to switch to this field, this course is for you. This course will give you enough confidence to attend job interviews and switch jobs in this field. The course is well crafted for beginners. So, what is holding you back? Choose this course and go ahead in your career.
