Maintenance Planning and Scheduling
Planning and scheduling are one of the most important activities to increase a maintenance organization's efficiency and reach “Maintenance in World Class.” Surveys show that planning increases the productivity of work performance by as much as 77%.
However, during recent years planning and scheduling have been cut down and are becoming a “lost competence.” Nowadays, service technicians are often responsible for both the preparation and execution of their work tasks.
The service technician must communicate and cooperate correctly with schedulers, work management, and Production/Operations to make it work well.
This requires a clear and communicated work process among the personnel involved, and not least, knowledge and skills necessary for planning and scheduling maintenance job plans!
