Increase Your Workforce without Hiring - Examples of Great Results and Why Planning and Scheduling Work

Modern reliability professionals know the answer to reducing reactive work is doing more proactive work. Even so, the big question is “How can we do more proactive work when we have our hands full of reactive work?”  Fortunately, proper maintenance planning and scheduling serves as “the productivity piece” of maintenance allowing common gains of 50% increase in work order completion rates.

Doc Palmer, popular author of McGraw-Hill’s best-selling Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook, uses examples of real companies with great productivity gains to demonstrate how proper planning and scheduling really work. Normally, most companies find planning and scheduling to be areas of great frustration without any benefit.  Palmer resolves this frustration with several subtle concepts that actually simplify both planning and scheduling while yielding the great results almost immediately.

You can get these gains at your company!
