Introduction

Maximizing assets availability and reliability with the optimal cost are two conflicting objectives that each maintenance department needs to achieve. Maintenance planning and scheduling is the first step needed to assist you in achieving these objectives. Maintenance planning and scheduling are not only about using project management software to schedule tasks. Besides planning and scheduling activities the planner needs to ensure that all logistics are provided for. The planner will also need to be engaged in the financial evaluation of maintenance initiatives. Once the planning is done right, the next step will be to ensure that all the work orders are executed as per the plan and in compliance with all Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) guidelines as well as company policies and procedures. In this training, various techniques will be discussed that will assist you in due course to plan, schedule, and control all your maintenance work orders for maximum effectiveness
