EFFECTIVE PLANNING AND SCHEDULING IN A LEAN MAINTENANCE STRATEGY
Jim Charbonneau, Solution Architect for a Smater Planet, CIM Maintenance
In order to be competitive in today’s global market, enterprises must embrace a lean environment strategy and as part of it, implement Effective Asset Management to maximize profits from their existing asset investment. In their business transformation journey, many enterprises have implemented the most common maintenance tactics, but in most cases have not achieved their overall objectives and are still struggling to get out of the reactive mode. The key to achieving lean maintenance objectives is to also implement Effective Planning and Scheduling. This will ensure that
maintenance tactics work is carried out in the minimum amount of time with the highest labour productivity. It requires addressing the work culture, re-engineering the organisational structure and providing adequate software support.

“In response to the deep recession that has recently punished most Canadian companies – and the manufacturing sector in particular – maintenance managers in today’s manufacturing environment can find themselves pushed to the limit in trying to keep machines running for maximum output. Rising costs, foreign competition and the constant need to improve the productivity of the plant only compound the challenge.
Avoiding costly repairs and increasing operating time on machinery has never been more crucial than it is today.
Federated Press’ 8th Reinventing Maintenance Conference will bring you the latest insights from senior maintenance and engineering professionals on how they are successfully facing the challenges of today’s maintenance environment and developing optimal efficiency in their own plants.”
