Introduction

Whether you are new into maintenance planning or you have been doing maintenance planning and scheduling for a while, this Maintenance Planning training course will give you the knowledge, insights, and skills that are most valuable to your career.

Maintenance planning plays a critical role within the overall physical asset management processes yet, many organisations are still struggling to get it implemented properly and reap the benefits that it brings. Understanding the processes behind this operational level strategy, enables you to identify the gaps in your personal skill set and in your organisation so that you can acquire and apply whatever is outstanding to the benefit of yourself and your organisation. As a result of your participation in this Maintenance Planning training course, you will also understand your role and responsibilities to within an effective maintenance planning function.

This Maintenance Planning training course places the emphasis on the following key processes and techniques of maintenance planning that are necessary to sustain the reliability of our assets.

This Certificate Course in Maintenance Planning will highlight:

  • The foundation of an efficient planning function
  • An object-based approach to programmed maintenance development
  • Planning work for safety, quality and efficiency
  • Scheduling work with operational continuity in mind
  • Bridging the gap between operations to the maintenance scheduling
  • Developing one-page performance indicator reports to drive improvement
  • Eliminating equipment defects through detection, disclosure, planning, scheduling and execution

Objectives

At the end of this Maintenance Planning training course, you will learn to:

  • Set up master data to support asset maintenance
  • Facilitate the development and implementation of programmed maintenance
  • Develop task plans and procedures that meet safety, quality and efficiency criteria
  • Initiate the acquisition of logistics to enable execution of backlog work
  • Compile a work schedule for a forthcoming period in consultation with stakeholders
  • Produce performance indicator based reports that expose problem areas

Training Methodology

This Maintenance Planning training course is delivered by means of a combination of instructor-led topic areas and class discussions. This Maintenance Engineering training course is further enhanced by the use of case studies, examples and practical exercises that are pre-loaded onto a laptop for each delegate. The templates, case studies, examples and exercises are subsequently available to each delegate after the course as a reference for further study, research or practice. This ensures a high level of knowledge and skill retention.

Frequently Asked Question

This course provides a comprehensive, structured approach to building and optimizing a modern maintenance management system. It covers the full lifecycle—from asset master data and the 'Asset Healthcare Model' to programmed maintenance, work management, shutdown/turnaround planning, and performance KPIs—emphasizing proactive, data-driven strategies over reactive fixes. It's ideal for organizations aiming to implement or improve CMMS-based systems for higher reliability and cost efficiency

It is targeted at maintenance managers, reliability engineers, planners, supervisors, asset managers, and operations personnel involved in maintenance strategy or execution. No advanced prerequisites are needed, but basic familiarity with maintenance operations is helpful. The content suits both those new to structured systems and experienced professionals seeking best practices.

The 'Asset Healthcare Model' is a proactive framework for treating assets like patients—focusing on prevention, early detection, and intervention to extend asset life and minimize failures. It integrates master data, criticality, and programmed tasks to shift from reactive to predictive/reliability-centered maintenance, reducing downtime and costs.

Accurate master data is foundational for any effective CMMS. The course explains how to structure and maintain asset hierarchies, attributes, and organization data (e.g., locations, resources) to enable reliable planning, reporting, and decision-making. Poor data quality often leads to ineffective maintenance—participants learn practical steps to build and sustain clean, usable data.

Key elements include criticality grading, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), task selection criteria (e.g., time-based, condition-based, or usage-based), and linking to CMMS task plans/work orders. The course provides practical tools to prioritize tasks, select optimal strategies, and develop corrective procedures, with exercises to apply them.

It presents a proven work management process model, covering defect reporting/notifications, backlog control, capacity planning, resourcing, and stakeholder-consensus scheduling. Emphasis is on efficient prioritization, minimizing reactive work, and achieving high planned maintenance percentages to improve execution reliability.

The course outline covers network planning, critical path scheduling, resource profiling/leveling/balancing, progress tracking, and control. It focuses on optimizing schedules, minimizing duration and costs, and ensuring safe, effective execution—critical for industries with planned outages (e.g., oil & gas, manufacturing, utilities).

The course details establishing KPIs and data sources across work management (e.g., schedule compliance, backlog size), asset effectiveness (e.g., MTBF, availability), and cost control. Participants learn to select meaningful, actionable indicators, track them via CMMS, and drive continuous improvement.

Yes, multiple practical exercises and discussions are included throughout—e.g., on criticality/FMEA application, programmed task development, work management scenarios, and shutdown scheduling/resource leveling. These reinforce concepts through group work, real-world case application, and interactive problem-solving.

From this Certificate Course in Maintenance Planning training course, attendees gain tools to build robust maintenance systems, reduce unplanned downtime, optimize resources, improve asset reliability, control costs, and enhance overall performance. Organizations typically see higher planned maintenance ratios, better backlog management, more effective turnarounds, and data-driven decision-making—leading to measurable ROI in reliability and efficiency.
