The primary objective of a planned maintenance system is to ensure that maintenance work is planned and scheduled effectively to improve work efficiency, service delivery through the reduction of downtime and minimise the cost of maintenance.
Planned maintenance should therefore eliminate unplanned maintenance. However maintenance work being preventive, corrective and adhoc in nature presents challenges to achieve this primary aim. The inability to plan and schedule maintenance work effectively leads to inefficiencies in service delivery, increasing user dissatisfaction and high costs as planned resources have to be re-deployed for adhoc work. This problem is expected to increase with ageing of existing buildings and is further compounded by the lack of inspection skills resulting in more adhoc (fire-fighting) work.
The course will provide the knowledge and skills to undertake effective maintenance planning and scheduling and will cover the following:
- Maintenance Fundamentals & Maintenance Systems
- State-of-the-Art in Maintenance Work Execution and Productivity & Cost Issues
- Maintenance Work Types & Nature of Work
- Long, Short & Annual Maintenance Plans and Contingency/Adhoc Plans
- Information Required for Effective Maintenance Planning & Information Sources
- Effective Maintenance Scheduling Involving Work Prioritisation and Adaptive Scheduling
