Maintenance Planning & Scheduling is designed to help you plan, structure, and optimize maintenance work in industrial environments to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and control costs. In modern plants, maintenance is no longer just “fixing failures”—it’s a coordinated, data-informed process that balances operational needs, equipment condition, workforce capacity, and safety requirements.
Throughout this course, you’ll build a practical understanding of maintenance management fundamentals, including how corrective, preventive, predictive, and proactive strategies support reliability improvement. You’ll learn how to identify and prioritize work, define job scope, estimate resources and costs, and document maintenance activities effectively—using proven planning principles and work order systems.
You’ll also explore scheduling techniques ranging from short-term and long-term planning and scheduling. Special emphasis is placed on coordination with operations, backlog management, and scheduling optimization to ensure work is executed efficiently and with minimal disruption to production.
Because most high-performing organizations rely on digital systems, the course covers the role of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) in generating, tracking, and managing work orders, maintaining asset history, and supporting integration with broader enterprise platforms such as ERP and other digital tools.
Finally, the course connects planning and scheduling to reliability and continuous improvement through topics such as reliability-centered maintenance (RCM. You’ll examine real-world case studies from industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and power, along with best practices and benchmarking approaches against international standards. Safety and compliance are treated as core requirements, ensuring maintenance planning aligns with regulatory expectations and environmental sustainability considerations.
By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and methods needed to improve maintenance performance using structured planning, reliable scheduling, effective CMMS use, and continuous improvement practices.
