LEAN MAINTENANCE PLANNING AND SCHEDULING
07 - 08 OCTOBER 2026
COURSE INTRODUCTION
Lean maintenance combines disciplined planning and scheduling with TPM, reliability-centred thinking and continuous improvement. This practical programme helps maintenance teams identify waste in work processes, improve equipment effectiveness, prioritise failure risks and organise preventive work using reliable asset data. Participants apply tools including 5S, OEE, machinery FMEA, root-cause analysis and visual reporting to build a more proactive and measurable maintenance operation.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Identify waste and improvement opportunities in maintenance work processes.
- Explain how TPM and lean principles support proactive equipment care.
- Calculate and interpret Overall Equipment Effectiveness for improvement monitoring.
- Use machinery FMEA and root-cause analysis to prioritise maintenance actions.
- Develop a structured maintenance plan and weekly schedule.
- Organise maintenance data for clearer CMMS/EAM and dashboard reporting.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for maintenance planners and schedulers, maintenance and reliability engineers, supervisors, technicians, asset managers and operations personnel involved in work planning, equipment improvement or CMMS/EAM data.
