Please note: We remind and encourage learners that to achieve a successful learning experience they should:
- allow themselves sufficient time to complete all tasks
- have a laptop
- have a stable internet connection
- complete all of the online learning material as well as the activities in the contact sessions.

Course format: Virtual Classroom.
In his Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook, Doc Palmer discusses how, in an 8-hour work day, after lunches, breaks, etc, the absolute most time available for maintenance is 6.5 to 7 hours. However, if your organisation is not doing any planning or scheduling, Doc Palmer’s studies show that you get roughly 2 to 3 hours of useful wrench time per day from your maintenance team. He also shows that when you implement a basic scheduling method, wrench time almost doubles!
That means, by implementing some form of a planning and scheduling method, you can improve resource utilisation from 25% to 50% which is a 100% increase!
After completing this course, you will be able to start implementing best practices across the maintenance work management cycle to ensure that your organisation can also double the wrench time and increase resource utilisation by 100%.
