Advanced Maintenance Planning and Scheduling

Unplanned breakdowns, rushed shutdowns, and poor coordination between maintenance and operations can quietly drain production capacity, increase safety risks, and drive up costs. In many organisations, maintenance is still treated as a reactive activity rather than a strategic function that protects assets and sustains performance. The real difference between a stable operation and a fragile one often lies in how well maintenance is planned, scheduled, and measured.

The Advanced Maintenance Planning and Scheduling course by LPC Training is designed to shift maintenance thinking from firefighting to structured control. Over five focused days, participants explore how modern maintenance planning fits within asset management, production reliability, and long-term business performance. The course walks through preventive and reliability-centred maintenance approaches, failure management techniques, and the use of structured planning tools to control work, resources, and shutdowns effectively.

This is a hands-on, operations-driven programme. Participants will learn how to build preventive maintenance programmes, manage backlogs, plan shutdowns using WBS and CPM, apply FMEA to reduce failures, and use KPIs to track performance and improvement. By the end of the course, participants will be able to organise maintenance work in a way that improves reliability, reduces unplanned downtime, and supports continuous operational improvement.
