C302: Advanced Maintenance Planning

While the Maintenance Planning course (C301) fundamentally prepares a planner for the task of planning, more is required to ensure a high level of output from the planning function. This has led to many requests for an advanced course.

Maintenance planning is the function that ensures that the correct maintenance actions are performed to the right equipment at the right time, and having all necessary preparation and resources in place. It is furthermore arguably the function that ensures that all maintenance actions can be completed correctly and efficiently.

C302 2

Make sure that your artisans are used efficiently by giving them tasks that are "ready to go" **

C302 3Maintenance Planning is becoming more and more important to secure the success of maintenance actions. The theory and tools of maintenance planning are also becoming more sophisticated.

The Maintenance Planning course (C301) prepares planners to understand the first part of the planning process, namely Work Order Planning. But it does not address the process of preparing the Weekly Schedule, and it does not equip the planner with advanced capabilities, such as Task Design, and Work Measurement. These are provided in this advanced course. This course:

     1. Completes the tuition of the planner regarding the full planning function. 
     2. Prepares he planner for taking the role of senior or head planner after gaining enough experience.

This course (C302) is ideally aimed at the further development of maintenance planners after they successfully completed the course in Maintenance Planning and had time to implement and integrate that knowledge in practice.

Who Should Attend

The course is intended for maintenance planners and those who manage them. Having attended and passed the C301 course is  prerequisite for enolling for this course.

** Tasks that are "ready to go" are ones for which all the necessary resources (men, materials, permits, instructions, drawings, manuals, etc.) are available for the artisan to complete the task without delays.
