The solutions this Maintenance Scheduling Course will teach:
1. The technical design of a well engineered preventive maintenance system which works, is comprehensive, is
simple to use and effectively covers the entire asset base
2. Balancing work between operational requests and breakdowns, plus including proactive engineering and
preventive routines in schedules which can be met with available resources and access to the equipment
3. Bridging the communication gap between operations and maintenance through task priorities, planning
meetings and mutual strategies
4. Managing stores and engineering parts so that jobs can proceed on time, since engineers can find parts in the
store. Best practice for parts management such as obsolescence, minimum purchase quantities and other
considerations.
5. The effective use of data from the work management system which communicates reliability issue, continuous
improvement in performance and cost data for budget development
6. Engaging with the maintenance system as part of the solution through communication, precise engineering
guidance and analysis, and ongoing measurement and feedback
7. Bringing the team together so that the planner/scheduler works with the maintenance team leaders plus the
operations people and engineering support in a seamless approach which is measured, and the performance
of which is reported
What has changed for you in maintenance 2006:
• We have less maintenance people than we used to, and we have lost some very experienced people in
recent times
• Our company is finding it challenging to compete so capital is tight and we have to do more with ageing
equipment – be more efficient, and keeps costs down.

• We have to use computerised maintenance systems which are often set up by people who did not
understand what we do.
You may be operating factories, managing large complex buildings such as airports and hospitals, or running extensive water and power networks – you are not alone with unique problems, and you understand that to improve, your people have to use skill and knowledge to optimise their contribution to the company.
Developed over 15 years through hands-on experience in improving maintenance throughout the world, this course is the practical, how-to explanation for all managers and engineers involved in maintenance.
Good maintenance achieved through effective planning and scheduling is the practical advantage your company can achieve to lift profitability, stop the waste and reduce reliance on capital to solve maintenance problems.
We emphasise that all the material that is presented in this course has been tested many times in practice. Problems with implementation, human reaction and confrontation, system deficiencies, mistakes made by people with good intent – we have seen it all and these issues are covered.

Why believe us?
We have been establishing maintenance systems for a long time: sometimes the project ran perfectly, sometimes it stumbled at the last hurdle! Not only do we advise you how to get it right but we will tell you how it can go wrong. This is a course with a difference – theory comes alive, the people in our teaching cases are real and the very tight bandwidth to achieve success is carefully defined!
Our experience ranges from writing the PMs and specifying the plant to be maintained, to full implementation of the maintenance management system. The people we deal with on an ongoing basis include the engineers maintaining the plant to the corporate management who look for the competitive advantage to be found in improvement of their asset base.

In this course we will advise you in a manner suitable for your role and your organisation, so that both youreself and your company will receive practical benefit.
Industries who have learned from us:

• Manufacturing – food, aerospace, textiles, chemical, metals, …
• Mining – alumina, coal and iron ore
• Utilities – power and water
• Government and facilities – Defence, aviation and health
• Contract service providers – facilities, contract maintenance
We keep it practical with applications to specific maintenance management systems, using their terminology, functionality and screens. The systems can range from modest, low cost databases up to enterprise, multinational strength with full business integration. We teach the master data and best practice codes that may be employed, what reports are possible from your system and how best to use them.
