7. Basic Principles Maintenance Plans --- Operations Schedules

8. Maintenance Performs Planning Planning is the creation of the actual instructions of what task to perform and how to perform the task. It includes: The reservation of material and tools Identification of required resources Identification of any supporting activities (permits, scaffolds, plant or system conditions etc.). The sequencing of the tasks to be performed in a logical order.

9. Operations Schedules Scheduling involves taking the output of the planning function and defining the time frame for performance of the operation or activity with consideration of the operational impact of the maintenance. It involves sequencing the task in relation to other tasks, which may or may not be related, in such a manner as to optimize resources, production schedules and business requirements.

10. Schedule Accuracy The accuracy of the schedule produced is directly proportional to the quality of the individual work plans. The accuracy of the schedule executed is proportional to the frequency of which it is updated.

11. Scheduling Process Scheduling must be integrated into your work management process beginning at the work identification phase. Scheduling process must include all support organizations in schedule development

12. Schedule Adherence If the schedule truly reflects the needs and the priorities of the Enterprise then schedule adherence should be the goal of every organization in the Enterprise.

13. Schedule Adherence

14. Critical Factors If you accept the importance of scheduling to the Enterprise you must commit the best people to the job. Scheduling must begin at the work identification phase of a defined maintenance process. Schedule support must be the primary function of every organization. All work must enter the system and be performed and monitored in one system.
