Event Overview

 

Effective maintenance planning, estimating and scheduling is a major best practice for all maintenance operations. A clear understanding and successful application of this practice is essential for improving customer service, craft productivity and creating a professional, pro-active maintenance strategy.

 

Reliable Estimating is Essential: Typically, estimating is a component of the planning and scheduling process. This workshop has added focus on estimating to introduce attendees to a more effective and easier method to establish reliable planning time. This workshop will have hands on application using today’s newest technique the ACE Team Benchmarking Process.

This work shop provides three important additional deliverables in easy to use Excel format.

  • A Scoreboard for Maintenance Excellence that can be used by each attendee’s operation for benchmarking against today's best practices.
  • The CMMS Benchmarking System is to support gaining maximum value from an existing CMMS & to define improvement needs and functionality gaps.
  • The Maintenance Excellence Index as a powerful, performance measurement process to validate & to benchmark your monthly results at the shop level.

Benefits of Attending

This is a 5-day professional development event for both new and experienced maintenance planners, maintenance coordinators and schedulers. It is also for Maintenance Leaders at all levels needing in depth training for this important maintenance best practice area. This offering is specifically tailored for manufacturing plant maintenance, pure facilities maintenance and healthcare operations. But the principles and techniques apply to fleet management and similar industry operations very well.

CMMS Workshop Purpose: The primary purpose is to help you improve your existing CMMS regardless of the vendor. Whether you are using SAP, MAXIMO or any of the many systems available, this workshop can bring a true return on investment from your active participation in two intense days of valuable workshop content and Pre Workshop Exercises. In-house maintenance operations and contract maintenance providers must achieve maximum craft productivity of a scarce resource, its craft labor. This workshop will help you improve all six maintenance resources; people, physical assets, technical skill resources, parts/materials, the hidden assets of teamwork and of course, information resources.

Your Training Results: Attending this event will provide your organization with a more effective planner/scheduler. Attendees will bring back the tools and knowledge to begin or enhance a planning, estimating and scheduling function in your organization.
