Maintenance Planning & Scheduling That Actually Holds
Wrench time is decided before the wrench is picked up — a poorly planned job is executed poorly, on schedule or not.

Most maintenance organisations lose a third of their capacity to poor planning — waiting for parts, unclear scopes, jobs that stop halfway. This programme builds the planning and scheduling discipline that recovers it: work identification and prioritisation that reflect risk rather than noise; job plans with scope, parts, permits and estimates a craftsperson can trust; weekly scheduling built to real capacity and protected from all but genuine emergencies; and the metrics — schedule compliance, planning quality, backlog health — that keep the system honest. Applicable across plant, utilities and heavy industry.
What you will do

Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.The work, identified
- Work orders that describe the problem, not the guess
- Prioritisation: risk-based, visible, argued once
- The backlog managed honestly: aging, health, the purge
II.The plan
- Job plans: scope, steps, parts, permits, estimates
- Kitting and materials: the job that starts because everything is there
- Estimating without fiction: feedback loops that improve the numbers
III.The schedule
- Weekly scheduling to real capacity — crews, permits, windows
- Break-in work: the discipline that separates urgent from loud
- Metrics: schedule compliance, wrench time, planning quality
Frequently asked
Who should attend the maintenance planning and scheduling course?
It is designed for maintenance planners and schedulers, maintenance supervisors and engineers, reliability teams, and operations managers who own plant availability. The programme is applicable across plant, utilities and heavy industry.
What will participants be able to do after the course?
Participants learn to prioritise the work order backlog on risk rather than noise; write job plans with scope, parts, permits and estimates a craftsperson can trust; build weekly schedules to real capacity and protect them from all but genuine emergencies; and run the metrics — schedule compliance, planning quality, backlog health — that expose planning failure early.
Is the programme available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the course in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your own maintenance organisation. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
