• Increase maintenance work performed by up to 100% above reactive

• ’Tool time’ can rise to 50% of maintainers day

• Planned work is 4-12 times more efficient than reactive

• Planned work is 3-9 times less expensive than reactive

• On larger jobs each hour of planning saves 3-5 hours execution time

• Up to 90% of your work can be planned

• Up to 95% of planned work can be done when first scheduled.

• GAIN practical insights into the full role of maintenance planning

From studies undertaken in the USA the average ’tool time’ for an artisan is somewhere between 25% - 35% of their day. The remainder of their working time is taken up by work that can be equally well done by persons of lower skill level. Much of the reason for this situation lies in the methods and techniques used for planning and scheduling the maintenance work. By understanding and implementing the principles and practices covered in this course tool time percentage can rise to 50%. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance staff productivity level.

 

Further, one of the goals of maintenance is to restore equipment reliability back to its inherent levels. Often this goal is not achieved. Poor maintenance planning is a major contributing factor. Unless the requirements for good job instructions and procedures, and good quality job packs are practiced the goal will remain unattainable. Maintenance planners who follow the principles of job procedure and job pack development taught in this programme will provide the foundation for meeting this goal.
