This program is intended to introduce participants to a deep and advanced knowledge of maintenance planning & scheduling. The program also introduces participants to the importance of maintenance planning & scheduling as a tool for prolonging equipment life and preventing major problems. A focuses are directed on planning and scheduling procedures, types of maintenance plans, classification of equipment maintenance and techniques, maintenance work allocation and task assignment.

This program also emphasis maintenance sequencing, equipment replacement, Planning and control of spare parts, materials requirements planning, queuing theory & waiting time, maintenance project planning, crash time, resource constrain PER, maintenance job shop dispatching rule, computer application in maintenance.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Apply an advanced knowledge on maintenance planning, scheduling and work control
• Identify the functions classifications of equipment maintenance and techniques that includes run-to-failure, interval based maintenance, predictive maintenance-condition maintenance, proactive maintenance and reliability based maintenance
• Define advanced maintenance management and its organization
• Discuss total productive maintenance, Maintenance Planning and Techniques of building maintenance planning and scheduling
• Understand the planning of spare parts such as maintenance material control and materials requirements planning
• Employ and conduct auditing process in maintenance
• Use maintenance audit for internal benchmarking
• Apply computer maintenance management system

This course is highly recommended to all maintenance engineering and technical support staff including planner, scheduler, supervisors and technician. The program is highly interactive with many discussion and computer application practice sessions.
