Why Choose this Training Course

This maintenance planning course provides a deep dive into maintenance planning and scheduling, highlighting its crucial role in productivity improvement and asset management control. It begins by dissecting the Six Planning Principles, emphasizing the distinct separation of ‘planning’ (what to do) from ‘doing’ (how to do it), proactive work provision, and maximizing ‘Wrench Time’ as the primary performance metric.

Participants will then master the Six Scheduling Principles, focusing on accurate job plans, strict schedule adherence, and leveraging Schedule Compliance as the key performance indicator. The curriculum establishes foundational maintenance systems, covering Composing the Asset Register (equipment hierarchy, parts lists) and Designing the Work Order System (priority system, flowcharts, managing subcontractors and permits).

Core modules cover detailed Basic Planning workflows (scoping, estimating job hours and costs) and Basic Scheduling techniques (forecasting, daily coordination with operations, staging materials). The course further explores system excellence through effective Work Order Processing, Planning Details (prioritization, backlog, and turnaround planning), and the selection, implementation, and utilization of a Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Finally, participants will learn to generate Effective Reports for Benchmarking and Control and review the Qualifications essential for high-performing Planners and Schedulers.

We are also a proud member of the Energy Institute of UK.
