2.2.2 Outage! The Long-Term Planning and Scheduling Experience

MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY

 

DESCRIPTION:

You will learn the Best Practices in maintenance work planning and scheduling though a realworld, highly interactive simulation of an outage (sometimes called a shutdown or turnaround). This simulation includes the roles of Maintenance Planners, Schedulers, and Managers and Operations and Materials Management personnel. You will join a team and compete against other teams as you apply the Best Practices. This game-like simulation involves work requests, work orders, scheduling dilemmas, personnel issues, parts problems, QA/QC problems, rework, and environmental and safety issues. The team that does the best job of planning and scheduling will have a more efficient critical path, order fewer emergency parts, minimize environmental and safety risks and incidents, complete the outage in less time, and win the game.

 

RECOMMENDED AUDIENCE:

This course is recommended for maintenance planners, backups, and coordinators. It would also benefit maintenance supervisors or managers wishing to gain a comprehensive understanding of planning and scheduling best practices.

 

YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Understand and apply the Best Practices for managing an outage, including the following:
  • Identifying and prioritizing work
  • Allocating resources
  • Establishing the outage organization
  • Assessing risks and developing action plans
  • Managing and reacting to required schedule changes
  • Explain the process for planning and tracking complex down-day and outage events

COURSE DURATION:

1 day (we suggest that you also take effective maintenance planning and scheduling.)
