Workshop
Maintenance Stage
Day 02

The MAINSTREAM 2025 research identifies a ‘Decreasing Quality and Integrity in Work Management Fundamentals” as one of the major obstacles to achieving Maintenance and Reliability Excellence.  A deterioration in the adherence to strong maintenance planning fundamentals is at the heart of this challenge.

Often overlooked, effective planning is a game-changer for organisations, optimising resource utilisation and enhancing team focus. This workshop is designed to link the vital role of maintenance planning to productivity increase.

Strong planning practices foster clarity, streamline task prioritisation, and improve risk management. You will discover a myriad of benefits in continuous improvement and effective communication as we highlight actionable steps to elevate maintenance planning. 

  • Key benefits of planning, and how they supercharge operations
  • Three essential stages of the planning process  
  • Best practices for value assessment
  • The consequences of poor planning on operations, emphasising the stakes involved
