Reduce Maintenance Costs by Better Planning with Your Existing Workforce!

Course Description


In an ever increasingly competitive marketplace, the maintenance department is routinely asked to keep equipment running longer, with fewer failures and at lower costs.  The planning and scheduling functions are critical components to make any maintenance program run with the new expectations.

This course provides the fundamentals of planning and scheduling required for any successful maintenance program. Effective Maintenance and Planning will provide students with real world applications, the principles behind the programs and specific techniques to implement your own plan.

In addition to defining the roles and responsibilities of the scheduler and planner, students will learn how to sell management teams on the importance of these roles and how to gain the cooperation and understanding of purchasing, operations and engineering.

By the end of this seminar, students will be able to go back to their facility and immediately apply what they learned to help make their plant or facility more efficient. Training like this never costs - it pays!
