Course description

This program provides a practical framework to plan, schedule, and control maintenance work so that labor, materials, and machine time are used effectively. Participants learn how to translate strategy into executable job plans and stable schedules that raise wrench time and equipment availability.

Through real‑world cases, attendees practice prioritizing work by risk and criticality, building BOMs and kits, negotiating maintenance windows with Operations, and measuring schedule compliance. Emphasis is placed on feedback loops that continuously improve data quality and execution discipline.
