Maintenance Planning & Scheduling
Learning Objectives
• After completion of this section, you will be able
to:
• Elaborate the need for maintenance scheduling
• Classify maintenance scheduling
• Explain the planning procedure
3
To Schedule or Not to
Schedule?
• It is generally accepted that, in any maintenance department
where there are more than 10 crafts persons and more than
two or three crafts, some planning, other than day-to-day
allocation of work by supervisor or leadsperson, can result in
improved efficiency.
• As the size of the maintenance organization, for example,
scheduling, increases, the extent to which work planning can
be formalized and the amount of time that should be spent on
this activity are increased.
• There should be only as much planning as necessary for
maximum overall efficiency so long as the system costs less
than the cost of operating without it.
4
How Much Scheduling?
• There are practical limitations to any scheduling system.
• A very detailed schedule that because of emergencies
becomes obsolete after the first hour or two of use is of little
value.
• If, however, actual performance indicates from 60 to 80
percent adherence during normal operation, the value of the
schedule is real.
• Justification of any scheduling system requires proof of its
effectiveness in dollars saved.
• Where some form of incentive system or work measurement
exists, such proof is readily available

MAINTENANCE PLANNING AND
SCHEDULING
Effective planning and scheduling contribute
significantly to the following:

• An essential part of planning and scheduling is to
forecast future work and to balance the workload
between these categories.

PLANNING
• It comprises all the functions related to the preparation of:
12
PLANNING PROCEDURES
• Determine the job content.
• Develop work plan. This entails the sequence of
the activities in the job and establishing the best
methods and procedures to accomplish the job.
• Establish crew size for the job.
• Plan and order parts and material.
• Check if special tools and equipment are needed
and obtain them.
• Assign workers with appropriate skills. 13

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE CAN BE
PREPARED AT THREE LEVELS
2. Weekly schedule
3. Daily schedule
19
LONG-RANGE (MASTER) SCHEDULE
• Covering 1 day.
• Generated from weekly schedule.
• Prepared the day before.
• Priorities are used to schedule the jobs.
