Having the worlds best maintenance system means nothing if tasks are not planned and/or scheduled effectively! Getting these two critical components right is a key step in the delivery of effective maintenance and the resulting improvement of equipment reliability. Knowing the difference between these two activities is also important for Maintenance managers, in order to ensure they are effectively resourced and supported on a regular basis.
Put simply, planning is the WHY, WHERE, HOW and WHAT of the activities in your maintenance system and scheduling is the WHEN. Delivering these activities to meet operational requirements will significantly improve the effectiveness of your maintenance activities and decrease the amount of unplanned downtime in your assets.
