A poorly maintained asset, whether it's a substation, refinery or oil and gas facility or a piece of machinery simply cannot produce what it was originally designed to do. Unfortunately, many senior managers in technical fields have a weak understanding of the role that good maintenance planning and scheduling practices play in the economic success of a company.
Added to this lack of understanding is the reality that most organisations simply do not have a proper maintenance planning and scheduling function, and those that do are often frustrated because it doesn't work like it should!
Maintenance planning and scheduling is a critical part of today's pro-active maintenance equation...and if you are reading this thinking that it doesn't work like this in your maintenance department then let me tell you that it should!
