Product Description Well-planned, properly scheduled, and effectively communicated jobs accomplish more work, more efficiently, and at a lower cost. Maintenance Planning, Scheduling and Coordination focuses on and deals specifically with the preparatory tasks that lead to effective utilization and application of maintenance resources. It is a vital training document for planners, an educational document for those to whom planners are responsible, and a valuable guide for those who interface with the planning and scheduling function and are dependent upon the many contributions of planning and scheduling operational excellence. Sure to aid organizations that pursue "Maintenance Excellence," this useful guide covers the basics commonly contained within world-class programs for effective execution of maintenance work: planning, parts acquisition, work measurement, coordination and scheduling. It addresses maintenance management, performance and control. And it clarifies the scope, responsibilities and contributions of the Planner/Scheduler function and the support of other functions to Job Preparation, Execution, and Completion. | ||

Maintenance Planning,Scheduling,and Coordination I have found this book very useful. I am just starting at this job, so it has helped me alot. | ||
Mixed Feelings This book contains many interesting information, guides and principles, but also has too many general talk. Many concepts and thoughts presented refer to real-life situations and show that authors have comprehensive experience, but at the same time are not developed enough - they very easily end in good-sounding general talk. Ideas and concepts in this book can trigger some iniciatives in practicioner's office, but everything must be re-worked to have any usefulness in real life. | ||
Learn How to Manage Maintenance from a Real Pro Maintenance is one of the, if not the, most difficult functions to manage and control in industry. Left alone, maintenance tends toward chaos: fighting fires, too busy for PM, repeat failures, with senior management often unappreciative and non-supportive. Nevertheless, without good maintenance, industry can't run. How does one move from chaos to Control? Mr. Nyman has written the definitive how-to on this subject, and no Plant Engineer or Maintenance Manager should be without this book in his library. If you will not just read, but absorb, the contents of this book for Mr. Nyman's insights, and follow his prescription for planning and scheduling, you will make the move to Control, and make your life, and your job, much easier. This book gives detailed explanations of the Maintenance Planning function, including both Planner and Supervisor roles, with specifics on the process of how to scope out a job, determine material requirements, coordinate multiple craft groups, estimate time requirements, and then to effectively schedule planned jobs. The book also includes appropriate metrics for measuring maintenance performance, Planner as well as Supervisor - a topic that is especially important since maintenance is mostly about cost avoidance, which itself is almost impossible to measure. This book is well-written, concise, and based on real-world experience from a real pro. I recommend it heartily. | ||
