Planning and scheduling are used to determine how, when and by whom maintenance tasks are performed. Every organization has purchased assets to fulfill a specific purpose. When they no longer perform that purpose, they have failed and need to be repaired, replaced, abandoned in place or removed. The process used for performing these tasks can have a huge effect on the financial bottom line for the company. A haphazard, inefficient process can cost the company a lot of money and lost production time. A well executed planned and scheduled process can save the company a lot of money and production time.This interactive workshop is designed to introduce the attendee to the principles of planning and scheduling so they can more effectively address asset potential and actual failures. The attendee will understand the basic concepts and have the tools they need to work with their organization to set up an effective planning and scheduling program
