Planning/Scheduling

Planning and scheduling is an essential approach to maintenance management that utilizes resources in order to reduce downtime and minimize overall production costs – this includes the control, flow and prioritization of maintenance procedures and processes. 

Having an effective maintenance management program in place requires a functional relationship between purchasing, operations, accounting, equipment, personnel and management.  Baker collaborates with organizations to educate, train and implement the best planning and scheduling practices by evaluating existing ones, such as preventive maintenance schedules, bill of materials, work order history, standard jobs plans and work order prioritization, to improve efficiency, the quality of work and cost effectiveness.

We provide dedicated professionals to assist with planning and scheduling activities such as:

• • Define or verify work processes
• • Ensure planners, supervisors and operations coordinators have clear roles
• • Improve work request usage and clarity
• • Implement Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• • Improve technical data
• • Improve integration with materials management
• • Check backlog management
