In a world striving for cost optimization and operational excellence, Maintenance Planning and Scheduling have a great role in achieving these goals. Maintenance Planning and Scheduling are the main tools for balancing operational and maintenance efficiency with operation and maintenance costs, maximizing the efficient use of work time, material, and assets, and it can increase workforce productivity from 25% to about 60% “tools in hand”.

As articulated by Richard D. Palmer in his influential handbook, a cornerstone reference in the field of Maintenance Planning and Scheduling, he aptly notes, “One cannot discuss maintenance planning without first considering an overall perspective of maintenance itself.”

Thus, our comprehensive course is meticulously designed to commence with an exploration of fundamental maintenance aspects. This includes a deep dive into key elements such as defining maintenance, its placement in the asset lifecycle, diverse types/strategies, their associated advantages/ disadvantages, as well as an examination of techniques, technologies, best practices, costs, spare parts management, KPIs, and the pursuit of operational excellence.

Moving forward, the course will systematically guide participants in establishing an effective maintenance planning function, enabling them to actively contribute to the seamless planning, scheduling, and coordination of maintenance activities. This encompassing approach will cover critical sides including Maintenance Planning and Scheduling definitions, objectives, intrinsic benefits, underlying business processes, delineation of roles and responsibilities, application of cutting-edge techniques and tools, formulation of comprehensive plans and methodologies, and the strategic measurement of performance through KPIs.

This course promises to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to drive maintenance planning and scheduling excellence, propelling organizations toward unparalleled operational efficiency and success.
