Maintenance Planning & Scheduling (MPS) - Virtual Learning
This Maintenance Planning & Scheduling (MPS) training course equips working professionals with the essential knowledge and practical tools required to streamline maintenance workflows and improve operational efficiency. The training course focuses on the clear distinction between maintenance planning—defining what work needs to be done and how it should be executed—and scheduling—determining when the work will be performed and who will carry it out. Participants will gain a structured understanding of how to organise maintenance activities, prepare work packages, and ensure that all required resources, materials, and information are available prior to execution.
The training course also addresses common challenges in maintenance environments, including reactive work, poor coordination, resource conflicts, delays, and unplanned downtime. Participants will learn how to establish disciplined planning and scheduling processes that enable maintenance teams to work efficiently without interruptions. Emphasis is placed on improving equipment reliability, reducing backlog, enhancing workforce productivity, and ensuring alignment with organisational performance objectives. With strong real-world relevance, the training course enables professionals to implement structured maintenance systems that support consistent, predictable, and high-quality execution.
