Ans : Maintenance Planning
and Scheduling are key elements that influence the true success of any
organization. Many times we have a planner or planner/scheduler, but do not
know how to use him or her effectively or efficiently. When we talk about
maintenance planning, we are talking about higher wrench time. At this time of
economic uncertainty, a higher wrench time equals lower cost, which results in
job security for all. Past studies have shown that most companies do not
perform maintenance planning effectively thus impacting negatively work
effectiveness, wrench time, equipment uptime, equipment reliability, and cost.
If we were “Effective in Maintenance Planning”, it would result in Higher
Wrench Time and Higher Equipment Reliability.
In Maintenance Scheduling, once we have achieved the
discipline required and maintenance plans are completed on time the reliability
of facilities and assets increase at a high rate.
A short definition of maintenance planning and
scheduling:
A common implementation initiative after a maintenance
assessment is maintenance planning and scheduling. IDCON can help your
organization with:
Classroom training is usually effective to increase planning
and scheduling awareness, however, in order to achieve sustainable improvement
training has to be followed by immediate implementation after the training or
very mediocre results will be the achieved.
On site and on-the-job training and implementation of a
better work management process is – combined with a good condition based
preventive maintenance program and an up to date accessible bill of materials –
the most important process used to enable people to become more productive.
Implementation and coaching of better planning and scheduling
is usually customized to our client. Typical activities include:
IDCON believes strongly in making sure the change process has
buy-in and ownership in the organization.
It is therefore important that client’s organization takes
ownership as soon as possible. IDCON role is to act as a catalyst, trainer,
accelerator to coach improvements.
Maintenance Planning and scheduling of work orders is the hub
of a well functioning maintenance organization. In order for maintenance
planning and scheduling to work many other systems need to work well. Most
importantly equipment inspections through preventive maintenance, technical
database such as bill of materials, work order history, and standard job plans.
Maintenance spare part stores have to function well.
IDCON also provides training in planning and scheduling
