2021 Kickoff Speaker
Why Planning and Scheduling Is a Big Deal and Why It Works
Presented By: Richard “Doc” Palmer, Managing Partner, Richard Palmer and Associates, Inc.
Modern reliability professionals know the answer to reducing reactive work is to do more proactive work. Even so, most companies cannot do more proactive maintenance even if they want to. They can’t because they honestly have their hands full of reactive work. So a huge industry question is “How can we do more proactive work when we have our hands full of reactive work?” Fortunately, proper maintenance planning and scheduling serves as “the productivity piece” of maintenance allowing common gains of 50% increase in work order completion rates.
Doc Palmer, author of McGraw-Hill’s best-selling Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook, uses examples of real companies with great productivity gains to demonstrate how proper planning and scheduling really work. Normally, most companies find planning and scheduling to be areas of great frustration without any benefit. Palmer resolves this frustration with several subtle concepts that actually simplify both planning and scheduling while yielding the great results almost immediately.
