Effective Maintenance Work Scheduling Process & Your CMMS.
Ensuring the proper and efficient maintenance of all facilities and equipment is a crucial part of running a heavy industrial, high-risk business.
If maintenance tasks are carefully planned, scheduled, and approved by a review team prior to being assigned to your maintenance team, they will be safer and more efficient. Naturally, not all maintenance can be arranged in advance, since malfunctions do happen.
Better production planning is made possible by an effective maintenance schedule, which guarantees that maintenance tasks are finished during prearranged downtime intervals. This allows businesses to allocate resources more wisely.
Creating an approved list of tasks for the maintenance crew to finish over a predetermined amount of time is the process of scheduling maintenance work.
A select group of important business stakeholders approve the schedule, which is typically the last stage of the work scheduling process.
The list of tasks that need to be scheduled should only contain work orders that are fully planned. This guarantees that all labour, specialised tools, equipment, and other resources like scaffolding, access platforms, cranes, elevated work platforms, and scissor lifts are verified during the scheduling approval process.
A typical compliance objective is for the maintenance team to finish 85% or more of the work in its entirety and in accordance with specifications; the likelihood of this happening increases with the quality of the approved work schedule.
