How to implement Maintenance Planning & Scheduling using our proven implementation framework. You will learn how to apply the required project management and change management principles to ensure lasting results.

How to effectively manage your maintenance backlog. Learn what categories of backlog you should use, how much backlog you should have, and how to monitor your backlog. We’ll introduce concepts like Ready Backlog and Execute Backlog.

The importance of work prioritisation and several, more objective methodologies. Including the Ranking Index for Maintenance Expense (RIME) priority system and using a Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM).

The key roles in the maintenance planning process. Particularly the roles of the planner, the scheduler, and the supervisor. You will understand how each role contributes differently to an effective and efficient maintenance process.

How to plan maintenance work and understand the reason for the maintenance planning principles. Clearly explain the difference between planning & scheduling to others and understand how to plan maintenance work using approaches like the 5M Maintenance Planning Model.

How to create and manage a Frozen Weekly Schedule using the Scheduling Principles. See scheduling as a continuous process, very similar to a conveyor belt. We will also talk about capacity planning to match your workload with your available resources.

How to deal with Emergency Maintenance work so that you don’t lose control and avoid slipping back into a reactive work environment.

The most important metrics to monitor the performance of the planning & scheduling process.

The importance of continuous improvement in planning & scheduling and how to set up simple but effective feedback loops.

How to get support from top management for your maintenance initiatives by building a business case for Planning & Scheduling. This includes estimating the value planning & scheduling can bring to your organisation, and how to sell this to your leadership.

The key elements in the Maintenance Planning & Scheduling process and how they interact with each other. This includes developing a planning & scheduling business process flow for your organisation.

The basics of preventive maintenance. Understand the basic principles on which to build an effective and efficient Preventive Maintenance Program. Get a better understanding of the different types of maintenance so that you can determine what type of maintenance to use and when.

The What, When, and How of RCM. Learn what RCM is and when to use it, so that you can make informed decisions on whether to deploy RCM or opt for other PM improvement approaches. Learn the key success factors so that if you deploy RCM, you achieve the results you need.

How to analyse, optimise, and improve your PM Program. Learn the most common flaws in PM programs so that you can avoid making them. Discover the different improvement methodologies like PMO, FMEA; and more equipment-specific, risk-based maintenance methodologies like RBI or SIL.

How to create work instructions that work. Learn why you need to use high-quality work instructions to achieve an effective PM program. Understand what should be included in effective work instructions, to what level of detail, the importance of standardised language, and the process for creating and managing maintenance work instructions.

How to effectively build your PM program into your CMMS. Learn how to structure your PM program in your CMMS so that you build a PM program that is executable. If you don’t structure your PM program well, you can make it hard for your crew to do the PMs on time and that will significantly undermine the effectiveness of your PM program.

Metrics to manage your PM program. Once you have built a PM program you need to look at improving it. And you need to do this through both the feedback you receive from your execution crew as well as through analysing a number of key metrics and underlying reports.

How to link failure modes and failure codes effectively. You’ll discover how to capture and connect the technical history from maintenance execution to specific failure modes using failure codes, so your PM program becomes more robust and your reliability analysis more efficient.

How to create a sustainable and "Living" PM program. Learn how to run a PM Project, either an improvement project for an existing PM program, building a new PM program for a new plant, or maybe for a new production line or major piece of equipment.
