Maintenance work suffers from low productivity because each job requires the integration of various competencies, materials, tools, access, and specific information. Planning, coordination, and scheduling manage these thousands of details to improve productivity, improve safety, and reduce cost and downtime.
This program is designed for:
Designed for intensive maintenance environments, including mining, utilities, factories, refineries, smelters, and process plants, as well as large facilities. Titles include Maintenance planners, planners in training, supervisors, and individuals responsible for managing the planning function.
In addition to schedulers, material coordinators, and maintenance engineers, who get involved in creating job plans. There is also an advantage to having representatives from operations and stores for their perspective and input.
Our promise for this program is that your planners will be conversant with the techniques and procedures of effective planning and scheduling. They will also be trained to coordinate the maintenance schedule with production control and operations. This new understanding will lead to more effective job plans and better scheduling.
Benefits from sponsoring this course in-house:
You and your team will learn:
Well-planned, properly scheduled and effectively coordinated jobs can be accomplished

We are flexible about your specific needs for outcomes from the course.
The most basic way is to present a standard course after a brief email conversation about goals and objectives. The courses are tried and tested and have been used to good effect worldwide in many maintenance situations.
The second and most common option involves a one-day site visit before the class. This visit allows me to add examples from your facility, adjust the verbal presentation to suit your needs, meet some key players, and see some of the unique problems you face.
involves a more extensive site visit (to be defined) a few weeks before the class. This extra time allows me to customize and add examples from your facility and adjust the verbal presentation to suit your needs. It is always good to meet some of the key players and see for myself some of the unique problems you face.
The third option is to conduct a maintenance audit survey that looks at all the aspects of maintenance, evaluates areas where improvements are possible, and slanting the training to the competencies needed to implement the upgrades uncovered in the survey.
