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.

The programme

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

Prioritise the work order backlog on risk, not noise
Write job plans a craftsperson can execute without improvising
Build weekly schedules to real capacity — and protect them
Run the metrics that expose planning failure early

Who attends

Maintenance planners and schedulers; maintenance supervisors and engineers; reliability teams; operations managers who own plant availability.

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

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

Do the programmes cover the energy transition as well as conventional operations?

Both. The curriculum spans oil and gas operations, drilling project and risk management, ESG, and the global energy transition — including how conventional operators finance and sequence the shift. Participants leave able to weigh transition decisions with the same rigour they apply to an operating asset.

Is project finance for energy and infrastructure covered?

Yes — advanced project finance analysis and modelling, PPP and infrastructure finance, and the financing of oil, gas and mining projects all sit in the curriculum. Participants leave able to build and stress a project-finance model and defend the structure to lenders and boards.

How do we enrol a team on an energy programme?

Send an enquiry or brochure request from the programme page; a senior practitioner responds within one business day with the brochure and the options for your group. Team cohorts are arranged through that proposal — including a private, in-house edition when the whole unit should train together.

Who typically attends the energy and utilities programmes?

Engineers, operations managers, project and commercial leaders, and HSE and finance professionals from oil and gas, power, utilities and mining. Regulators and national companies attend alongside private operators, which sharpens the discussion on both sides.
