4º maintenance planning principle for Success in planning & scheduling. Use planner judgment for time estimates: Planners should use their experience and skills in addition to file information to determine time estimates for work orders. Time estimates should be reasonable with what a technician might require to complete a job without any issues. This means planners should have technical, communication and organizational data skills to make a reasonable estimate. This principle requires planners to be chosen from the organization's best technicians, possibly ones with the most seniority. For example, someone with 15 years of technician experience who accepted a planner position might notice in a previous work order file that a pump alignment took eight hours. He knows from experience that, when done by a competent mechanic, this task should only take around five hours, so he uses the five-hour estimate when creating the job plan for this task.

Sharing is Caring! ✍The Difference Between Planned Maintenance and Scheduled Maintenance** ✍Planned maintenance details the specific work that will be completed and how it will be done. ✍Scheduled Maintenance** outlines who will complete the work and when it will be carried out. ✍Planned maintenance begins by identifying a problem and determining the necessary materials, tools, and tasks required to address it. ✍The planning process includes inspections, ordering parts, describing processes, and prioritizing tasks. These responsibilities are typically managed by the maintenance planner. ✍A facility's planned maintenance program may include scheduling, although scheduling can also occur separately through a maintenance scheduler. ✍Scheduled maintenance commences once the work has been fully planned. At this stage, the scheduler assigns personnel to perform the work, establishes an overall timeframe, and sets a specific start date. ✍This type of schedule is not limited to identifying specific dates; work can also be performed at regular intervals, as seen in preventive maintenance programs. ✍While planned maintenance and scheduled maintenance are distinct, they are interdependent. ✍Without proper maintenance planning, a job may lack essential materials, tools, and documentation. ✍Conversely, without effective scheduling, employees may be unaware of their assignments, incorrect personnel may be designated, and there will be no clear timeline for the work. ✍When both maintenance planning and scheduling work together efficiently, maintenance technicians and contractors can carry out their tasks without organizational issues.

5º maintenance planning principle for Success in planning & scheduling. Recognize the skill of the techs: Planners need to be aware of and recognize the skills of their craft technicians when determining job plans. Planners should determine the scope of the work request and plan the general strategy of the work, including a preliminary procedure if there isn't one, around skill level. The technicians then complete the task and work together with the planner on repetitive jobs to improve procedures and checklists. A common issue with this principle is making a choice between producing highly detailed job plans for technicians with minimal skills or creating minimally detailed job plans for technicians with highly skilled technicians. How much detail should be included in a job plan? A good rule of thumb is to develop a general strategy for 100 percent of the work hours. This will be better than a detailed plan for only 20 percent of the work hours. If there is a procedure already in the file or notes from people who have previously worked on the equipment, include those in the job plans. Finding the best way to leverage the skills of the technicians and ensuring they are doing what they were trained to do allows planners to be confident that they will get a task done efficiently.

2º maintenance scheduling principle for Success in planning & scheduling. Schedules and job priorities are important: The weekly schedule and the priorities that help determine this schedule are essential to improving productivity. Weekly scheduling frees up crew supervisors to focus on the current week without worrying about the backlog. Maintenance and operations use the weekly schedule for coordinating their tasks in advance, so it's critical to properly determine the priority levels of new work orders to see if they should become part of the daily or weekly schedule. https://lnkd.in/dWUM_HaE

What the maintenance planning department have to do when the concerned person submits a work request? After a person writes a work order for the maintenance department, maintenance planning takes action. A maintenance planning group helps coordinate many of the specialized activities of maintenance. A maintenance planner takes the work order and does preparatory planning for the crew supervisor and craftpersons who will ultimately execute the work. 1- The planner considers the proper scope of work for the job. The work requester may have identified a noisy valve. 2- The planner judges whether the valve should be patched or replaced. 3- The planner also identifies appropriate materials for the specified job and whether they are available or must be specially ordered. 4- Th planner specifies the appropriate craft skills for the job. Having these determination made before the crew supervisor assigns a job for avoid problems such as delays stemming from assigning a person with insufficient craft skills or from not having required materials or tools available. Having time estimates also allows crew supervisors to judge how much work to assign. #planning #scheduling #maintenance #terminal #port #assetmanagement #asset #engineering #mechanicalengineering #spareparts #parts #workorder #planningdepartment

The difference between Planned Maintenance V/S Scheduled Maintenance Planned maintenance details how and what work will be completed Scheduled maintenance determines who will complete the work and when it will be completed. Planned maintenance starts with a problem and identifies the materials, tools, and tasks necessary to work on the problem. The planning process involves inspections, part ordering, process descriptions, and work prioritization. These responsibilities fall on the maintenance planner’s shoulders. The planned maintenance program for a facility may include scheduling, but sometimes scheduling occurs separately via a maintenance scheduler. Scheduled maintenance begins once the work has been fully planned out. At this point in the process, the scheduler determines who will perform the work, as well as an overall timeframe for the work and a specific date to begin the work. This kind of schedule doesn’t just target specific dates—work can be performed at repeated intervals as well, like in a preventive maintenance program. While they are different, neither planned maintenance nor scheduled maintenance can exist without the other. Without maintenance planning, a job can suffer from a lack of proper materials, tools, and process documentation. Without maintenance scheduling, employees may not know they are assigned to a job, the wrong employees could be assigned, and the work won’t have a clear timeline. When both maintenance planning and scheduling operate effectively, maintenance technicians and contractors perform their work without any organizational problems.

How do you prioritize work requests as a maintenance planner? According to IDCON INC: The priority of the work is based on the consequence of not doing the job and the condition of the component as measured during a component inspection. In a good organization, up to 90% of all maintenance work is a result of condition monitoring, including basic inspection routes and interviews with operators. With real priorities, more work can be planned, and after that it can be scheduled and executed in an efficient way.

Proper maintenance planning and scheduling, when done right, can greatly increase productivity. Maintenance planning can be defined as an end-to-end process that identifies and addresses any possible issues ahead of time. This involves identifying the parts and tools necessary for jobs and making sure they're available and laid out in the appropriate areas, having a planner write out instructions on how to complete a job, and even determining and gathering the necessary parts and/or tools before a job is assigned. Maintenance planning should define the "what," "why" and "how." This means specifying: 1. What work needs to be done with what materials, tools and equipment. 2. Why a particular action was chosen (why a valve is being replaced instead of a seat). 3. How the work should be completed. Maintenance scheduling refers to the timing of planned work, it offers details of "when" and "who." 1. When the work should be done. 2. Who should perform it. Scheduling is meant to: 1. Schedule the maximum amount of work with the available resources. 2. Schedule according to the highest priority work orders. 3. Schedule the maximum number of preventive maintenance jobs when necessary. 4. Minimize the use of contract and outside resources by effectively using internal labor. #maintenance #planning #scheduling #engineering #preventive

Difference Between Maintenance Planning and Scheduling: Maintenance Planning defines WHAT and HOW maintenance work should be done. It involves identifying the parts, tools, materials, technical information, safety requirements, and trades needed for a job. A planned maintenance job is one that has everything required to complete the task efficiently and safely. The planning process ensures that all necessary resources are available before scheduling the job. On the other hand, Maintenance Scheduling determines WHEN and WHO will perform the maintenance work. It involves assigning specific start and finish times for jobs, coordinating resources like tradespeople, equipment, tools, and services, and ensuring that activities are scheduled to minimize costs. Scheduling ensures that the work is completed within a specified timeframe by the appropriate personnel.

5º maintenance scheduling principle for Success in planning & scheduling. Daily work is handled by the crew leader: The crew leader or supervisor should develop a daily schedule based on the one-week schedule, current job progress and any new high-priority jobs that may arise. The supervisor should assign daily work to technicians based on skill level and work order requirements. In addition to the current days' workload, the supervisor should handle emergencies and reschedule assignments as needed. Daily scheduling is almost always fluid thanks to the progress of the work being performed. This makes it difficult to schedule precise job times very far in advance. Inaccuracy of individual time estimates and reactive maintenance are the two biggest factors contributing to this issue.
