Maintenance planning and scheduling is the first step needed to assist maintenance departments in achieving the two conflicting roles of maximizing asset availability and reliability with the optimal cost. Besides planning and scheduling, the planners need to ensure that all logistics are provided for, and engaged in the financial evaluation of maintenance initiatives. A maintenance control system is part of the overall maintenance system and is made up of several subsystems including procedures for effective execution of planned and scheduled work, and work approval procedures based on clear standards to ensure quality maintenance work, shutdown management, and management reporting and analysis.
