The PS400 Maintenance Planning & Scheduling for the Frontline course gives you a clear, practical understanding of how planning and scheduling actually works. This is a simplified and condensed version of our flagship PS100 course. It strips away the complexity of high-level management frameworks and focuses entirely on the knowledge that matters to frontline technicians and operators.
You will learn what planning & scheduling is, how it works, and why it matters to your workday.
Plus much more — from understanding best maintenance practices, planning tools, key performance indicators (KPIs) and how your daily work contributes to them, to recognising the difference between a fully-planned, executable job and a poorly planned one, and effectively managing emergent work during the execution phase.

Lesson 5 is all about showing frontline technicians what’s in it for them—how effective planning and scheduling improves their daily work experience. From less stress and fewer breakdowns to better safety, job satisfaction, and pride in their work.
Lesson 7 is all about understanding the importance of creating high-quality work requests—the starting point of the entire planning process. It shows how providing clear, relevant information upfront makes life easier for the planner, reduces delays, and helps ensure the job gets done right the first time.
