James shared the 5 levels of scheduling that enable the full integration of operations and maintenance schedules. He explained why scheduling should start at the 52-week level and cascade into the 16, 4, and 1-week levels, finally ending with daily scheduling. He discussed why an effective scheduling process depends heavily upon a rigorous prioritization process … and how the prioritization criteria must be fully aligned with the business risks and agreed upon by the leadership team.
In order to effectively schedule maintenance work, there needs to be a systematic approach that not only takes into account the needs of the maintenance department, but that of the business. James recommends this fully integrated schedule to ensure that planned downtime is reduced, while maximizing the amount of work that can be completed.
Effective scheduling ensures the right maintenance is executed at the right time.
