Coordination
◼ Consists of the logistical efforts of assembling all necessary
resources so the job is ready to be scheduled.
◼ It is accomplished in harmony with Purchasing, Receiving, and
Stores.
Scheduling
◼ Scheduling is the written process whereby labor resources and
support equipment are allocated to specific jobs at a fixed time
when Operations can make the associated equipment or job
site accessible.
◼ Scheduling is the marketing arm of a successful maintenance
management installation because it yields the earliest benefits
visible to internal customers.
◼ Identify
Identify potential problems through regular inspection, FLM, and
routine checks.
◼ Plan
Ensure that all resources necessary to do the job are accounted for.
The most obvious planning tasks are to determine what has to be
done, in what sequence, and with what skills.
◼ Schedule
Scheduling is a matter of availability. When can you coordinate
with the people who have the needed skills? Do you have the
parts? Do you have agreement of production department to
release the equipment?
◼ Assign
The assignment of the job depend on the organization
arrangements in place.
◼ Execute
This is where ‘the rubber hits the road.’ Cost-effective maintenance
management can be measured from the execution of maintenance
planning.
◼ Analyze
Thoughtful analysis of the failure, and your respond to it, will
lessen the chance of repeating the same mistakes.

◼ The net workload, measured in labor hours, requested but not
yet completed.

hand.

some element.
