Planning and Scheduling Program

• Backlog Identification & Tracking (Work Order System)
• Project repetitive work (PM's, predictable components and wear materials, etc.)
• Planning the work-identifying the resources to accomplish the job
• Organize the resources - parts, contractors, crews, engineering, etc.
• Schedule the work with operations and resource availability
• Do the work within the scheduled time frame
• Record the history and track costs (track warranties, components, wear materials, tires, fuel, etc.)
• Analyze the history (cost comparisons, life comparisons, etc.)
• Make improvements (negotiate better value for wear materials, reduce lost time, etc.)

Preventive Maintenance Program

• Washing
• Lubrication and filter changes at proper intervals
• Inspections at proper intervals
• Short duration repairs that can be completed within the scheduled time frame

Predictive Maintenance Program
