Small Jobs in Maintenance, Paper360º March/April 2023

Every maintenance professional should strive to rise above reactivity. Effective planning and scheduling are critical components to rising out of reactivity, aka, the Circle of Despair (see Fig. 1.) If you are reading this, you probably already know why maintenance planning is important. This article is about small jobs in maintenance that need limited or no formal planning.

One struggle that comes with being reactive is an ever-growing backlog. You try to do the right things and plan every job, but you often think “How will I ever plan it all?” The good, and possibly surprising, news is: you don’t need to. With certain main-tenance jobs the formal planning process isn’t necessary because it’s just overkill and not cost effective.
