The work process we call
maintenance planning can almost
always be improved in any given
business. In fact in most
businesses, maintenance
planners don’t plan. Planners do
all kinds of tasks except work
order planning. Typical things
planners do, and should not do
are:
- Act as relief
supervisors
- Expedite Materials
- Work on tools
- Plan emergency work
Help your
business to work in
the right direction by drawing
up and agreeing to a
maintenance planning work flow.
This work must include all
involved personnel in the process.
Identifying the maintenance
planning process is a very good
starting point before you can
successfully start Planning and
Scheduling etc.
Planning &
Scheduling - A
note about work order
priorities.
What are work order
priorities? If we ask
any given business with a
Computerized Maintenance
Management System
(CMMS), if they have a
well defined priority
system, the answer is
almost always, yes.
The
question is, do they
really? Well, let’s
define what a
world-class priority
system is, then why not
use this “did you know”
and check if your own
priority system is of
high quality or not?
Characteristics of a
world-class work order
priority system :
-
The priority
system obviously has
a code or number to
signify the
importance of a work
order. But, is there
a set of rules that
describes what type
of work that can be
classified as a
high, medium and low
priority?
-
Does each work
order priority code
have a time limit
attached to it? For
example: Priority 1
will be started
immediately,
priority 2 within a
week, priority 3
within a month etc?
-
Are the
priorities reviewed
in a weekly/ daily
planning and
scheduling meeting
JOINTLY by
operations and
maintenance? (If
not, there is little
chance to
effectively
coordinate the
operations /
production schedule
with the maintenance
schedule).
-
Work orders
are not over
prioritised by
strong individuals
in the planning and
scheduling meetings
since there are a
set of rules that
describes what type
of work that can be
classified as a
high, medium and low
priority.
-
Are there high
priority work orders
older than 3 months
in your system? If
so, your plant
probably has a
tendency to over
prioritise work
orders.
