Fixing Just One Link Doesn’t Strengthen a Chain, Paper360º September/October 2022

Being a planner requires proficiency in most of what goes into a maintenance job. Planners need to know about spare parts, coordinating with tradespeople, computer skills, being organized, and a lot more. That’s why many companies like to hold specific training for planners. Unfortunately, nine times out of 10, that type of training is a waste of time, especially if it only takes place in a classroom.

Planning is an extremely important link in the maintenance chain: “Inspect—prioritize —plan—schedule—execute.” However, it is just one link. If we don’t do inspections there is nothing to plan. If priorities are changed from day to day, there won’t be sufficient time to plan the jobs. If the jobs aren’t scheduled and then executed, planning is useless.
