Training Course: Maintenance, Planning, Scheduling & Control

Introduction

The Maintenance Planning, Scheduling, and Control course aims to provide participants with the latest concepts and techniques needed for effective planning and precise management of maintenance activities. The course begins with a basic introduction to maintenance objectives and their evolution, followed by a review of work order systems and prioritization of tasks. It then covers the implementation of preventive maintenance, the creation of appropriate programs, and scheduling. The course also focuses on proper planning and scheduling of orders, as well as resource management and equipment life cycle costs. Essential topics in material planning and workplace safety are also addressed, culminating in the control of maintenance operations through performance measurement and the use of effective Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The goal of the course is to enhance the efficiency and performance of the maintenance department and ensure maintenance is executed systematically and safely.
