Executive Summary

Summary

Every shop must have an approach to organize each crew. Furthermore, other work should be assessed before work on a machine begins. Here are a few scheduling tips: The first items scheduled are the machines still in process. Use substantial effort to solve whatever problem is holding them from being completed, manage employees vacations with annual sign-up sheets, never start a job you can\'t finish, reserve parts by pulling them out of stock and putting them in a holding area, etc. Also, try to schedule the majority of your maintenance activity when your machinery is not in demand.
