Maintenance Planning: Cuts Waste, and Frustration:
Maintenance Planning is simple to define (make a list of tasks and items to perform a maintenance job) but challenging to deliver. Maintenance work requires parts, tools, expertise, and input from many parts of the organization. As a result, it is plagued with low productivity as measured by wrench time.
Maintenance work requires the management of a thousand details. Without deliberate planning, there is rarely enough time or bandwidth to complete it.
Maintenance Planning Cuts Waste, and Frustration provides the organization in a lighthearted, fun graphic novel format. Maintenance Planning starts with the symptoms of lack of planning, shows why there is so much resistance, and then dissects and demonstrates techniques to effectively plan maintenance work.
Maintenance Planning Cuts Waste, and Frustration uses real examples from the shop floor. It shows the real concerns of the senior trade staff and provides reasons to support the program. It focuses on the activities that need to happen to reduce the barriers to productivity.
This work is written for beginning planners and the maintenance team. It can also educate people outside maintenance who have to work with maintenance.
Maintenance Planning Cuts Waste, and Frustrationis the sixth book of the series "Elements of Great Maintenance Management".
