Maintenance Planning and Scheduling is aimed at maintenance personnel as they balance the need for cost effective maintenance delivery with the requirement to deliver availability and reliability of the maintained plant itself. Production is planned and scheduled and to optimise costs and non-productive time, maintenance too must be planned, scheduled and (key) integrated with the production schedule.

Fail to plan; plan to fail – An old adage but as true in today’s competitive market where companies are under increasing pressure to produce higher quality goods and services at lower costs, as it has ever been. A key component of the overall cost of manufacturing is maintenance and the key role of maintenance is to deliver availability and reliability of the plant. Production is planned and scheduled and to optimise costs and non-productive time, maintenance too must be planned, scheduled and (key) integrated with the production schedule. Cost effective maintenance delivery is the result of effective planning, scheduling and associated work controls.
This course is delivered over 5 sessions (4 half day periods on line. Sessions 1-3 over the first 3 periods with 4 and 5 in the final period on the last day). At the end of each session candidates are given a task associated to the subjects covered which they are asked to consider and then share their thoughts briefly at the beginning of the following session. In the final session, titled “Review and Improve” the practicalities of Continuous Improvement are applied to the subjects covered and candidates are asked to formulate ideas on how aspects of their role could be improved and, using the information imparted to them, what that involves. There is a short break in the presentation during which delegates are asked to develop an outline of the improvement(s) and how they might be achieved. These are considered by the group with appropriate feedback.
Finally, there is a brief review of the course.
