Planning and scheduling is one of the fastest and most effective investments an organization can make to improve productivity and availability. Equipment reliability is increased. Costs and availability of maintenance stores are improved. Waiting times, unnecessary parts and inaccurate information are eliminated. Budgeting is easier and more accurate. Maintenance tasks are as much as 50% more cost and time-efficient.

The processes participants learn in this class develop skills in planning and control of maintenance resources. This three-day course teaches proven processes that are fundamental to effective planning and scheduling and successful CMMS/EAMS deployment.
