Course Overview
The maintenance of physical assets can no longer be treated just as a ‘maintenance problem’. The competitive environment in which business operates requires an approach that integrates the operational objectives of the business and the life-cycle objectives of the physical assets.
Our highly interactive Maintenance Planning, Scheduling & Work Control training course is designed to provide management and staff with essential maintenance management skills, gain a clear understanding of their roles, and work more effectively within a team environment.
Delegates will gain a practical understanding and knowledge of:

• The essential principles of effective maintenance management
• Effective procedures for planning and controlling of the maintenance work flow
• Proven methodology for the development of an effective maintenance plan
• Effective scheduling of maintenance work
• Closing the management loop through effective measurement, reporting and analysis

Industry is moving away from reactive (“fix-it-when-it-breaks”) management into predictive, productive management (“anticipating, planning, and fix-it-before-it-breaks”). This evolution requires well-planned and executed actions on several fronts.
This WorkmanSkills training course is designed to provide delegates with essential maintenance management skills, gain a clear understanding of their roles, and work more effectively within a team environment.
