Why Choose this Training Course

This comprehensive planning and cost control course delves into the critical role of planning and scheduling in enhancing maintenance productivity and controlling asset management. Participants will master the Six Planning Principles, emphasizing the separation of ‘what’ (planner) from ‘how’ (technician), and focusing on proactive work provision to maximize ‘Wrench Time’ performance.

The planning and cost control course then outlines the Six Scheduling Principles, stressing adherence to weekly/daily schedules, efficient resource allocation, and the use of schedule compliance as a key performance indicator. Practical modules cover fundamental practices like Composing the Asset Register (hierarchy, numbering, parts lists), and Designing the Work Order System (priority, flowcharts, subcontractor integration).

We move into the core processes of Basic Planning (workflow, work scoping, estimating, job cost) and Basic Scheduling (weekly and daily coordination, forecasting, staging materials). The course also addresses advanced topics: Work Order Initiation, Planning Details (backlog and turnaround management), and the effective use, selection, and implementation of a Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Finally, we explore generating Reports for Benchmarking and Control, examine the necessary Qualifications of Planners and Schedulers, and introduce principles of Risk Assessment, Economics (DCF, NPV, Life Cycle Cost), and Managing Reliability (FMEA, RCA, PONC) for overall system excellence.

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