To plan or not to plan maintenance work… that is the question. There are many different beliefs and perspectives when it comes to planning and
Industry leaders consistently recognize the Multi-Week Rolling Schedule as the most reliable process
to ensure that routine maintenance is completed on time, in a fully planned and efficient manner,
thereby preventing breakdowns, and maximizing both equipment uptime and technician wrench time.
By embracing a planned work culture, it empowers asset intensive organizations to perform
the right work, at the right time, and at the lowest cost, ultimately driving higher profits.
Even if your most experiences schedulers prepare the best schedules with or without the use of AI, if you lack a solid process, your schedules will be constantly disrupted by requests from production all labeled as urgent. Juggling your schedule against the pressure from production leads to not even getting half of your scheduled work done and little return from your scheduling efforts!
The multi-week rolling schedule process is your way out of the reactive mode. It ensures that most work will be executed as planned to prevent equipment failures from occurring. It builds true collaboration between maintenance and production, eliminating the “everything is urgent” reactive mode. Operating in a planned mode boosts maintenance technician wrench time, allowing you to get in control of your backlog and WO aging.
