Are you caught between a rock and a hard place?
The maintenance workload is up, but the maintenance budget is the same (or lower). You know you get 32% wrench time (157 minutes out of 480 minutes daily!) doing unplanned maintenance.
You also know that maintenance work requires managing a thousand details. There is rarely enough time or bandwidth to manage everything on the fly. If one little thing is missing, the job stops, and productivity goes down the drain.
Maintenance planning identifies everything needed to do a job so that scheduling can get those ducks in a row before the job starts. That alone gives you maintenance work that is five times safer, half the cost, and 30% or more improvement in wrench time. It also cuts frustration to improve morale.
The challenge is that everyone has to be on the same page. Maintenance Planning Cuts Waste and Frustration is written for maintenance workers and new planners to understand maintenance planning and encourage them to get on the same page by getting involved—using the plan, commenting on it, and improving it.
Maintenance Planning Cuts Waste, and Frustration provides your organization with a lighthearted, fun, reality-based graphic novel format training tool. Maintenance Planning starts with examples of a lack of planning, shows why there is so much resistance to planning, and then dissects and demonstrates techniques for effectively planning maintenance work.
Maintenance Planning Cuts Waste, and frustration uses real examples from the shop floor. It shows the genuine concerns of the senior trade staff and provides them with reasons to support the program. It focuses on the activities that need to happen to reduce the barriers to productivity. This work can also educate people outside maintenance who must work with maintenance.

Joel, I read your book. It was an easy read. It also presented some very good principle that are foundational to reliability. When you get right do to it defect elimination is what most practitioners on reliability are trying to achieve.

What others have said about Maintenance Planning
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2024 A great way to explore complex subjects such as Maintenance planning with the “WHY” behind it. Nice work Joel!!!!
Maintenance Planning
Maintenance Planning is simple to define (make a list of tasks and items to perform a maintenance job) and challenging to deliver. Maintenance work requires parts, tools, expertise, and input from many parts of the organization. The result is that maintenance work is plagued with low productivity as measured by wrench time. Maintenance work requires the management of a thousand details. There is rarely enough time or bandwidth to complete it without deliberate planning.
