Planning & Scheduling

Increase your workforceby 35% without hiring anyone

Most maintenance teams run at 30% productivity. Get planning and scheduling right, and you increase that to 45%. That's the equivalent of increasing your workforce by 35% without hiring anyone.

Planning versus Scheduling

Planning reduces delays during jobs. Scheduling reduces delays between jobs.

Most organisations think they plan AND schedule, when in fact they mostly schedule. Planning is preparing work for effective and efficient execution. Scheduling is all about resource allocation, coordination and grouping of work. You need both.

Prepare the work

Scope the job, identify materials, make the sequence clear, and remove avoidable waiting before the job starts.

Protect the schedule

Coordinate people, equipment access, and priorities so the right work happens at the right time.

Lift productivity

Typical productivity is 30%. With proper planning and scheduling, you lift that to 45% and beyond.

Get more work done

There's a much bigger workforce hiding in your team.

The gap isn't effort. It's knowledge.

Most teams don't get the productivity they aim for, because they've never been taught what good planning and scheduling looks like. Without training you'll never close the gap.
