Advanced Maintenance Planning, Scheduling & Cost Management

Effectively manage the depth and scope of integrated maintenance management planning to avoid downtime and increase operational excellence

OVERVIEW

This intensive 3-day masterclass equips maintenance professionals with the tools, techniques, and best practices needed to optimize maintenance planning, scheduling, and cost management. Attendees will learn how to protect and enhance the value of plant machinery, integrate reliability-centered maintenance, and leverage Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and ERP software for efficient operations. Practical strategies are provided to reduce downtime, eliminate maintenance risks, and increase overall productivity and profitability.

WHY YOU CAN’T MISS THIS EVENT?

  • Maintenance departments are under increasing pressure in competitive industries (Manufacturing, Mining, Power & Utilities, Oil & Gas) to maximize asset uptime while reducing breakdowns and costs.
  • Many maintenance teams struggle with limited resources, with work orders piling up and not being completed efficiently.
  • According to SMRP, average “wrench time” for maintenance personnel is only 35%—meaning only ~3½ hours per day are spent on actual maintenance work, while the rest is consumed by non-productive activities like gathering parts, traveling, meetings, and breaks.
  • Lack of proper planning and scheduling leads to uncoordinated, costly, and ineffective maintenance, causing delays and operational frustrations.
  • Poor maintenance execution increases costs, reduces plant integrity, and strains relationships with Operations teams, who may become reluctant to release equipment for maintenance.
  • Amidst an aging workforce and global skill shortages, effective planning and scheduling are critical to maintaining high operational uptime with fewer resources.
  • Participants gain practical knowledge on best practices in maintenance planning and scheduling, ready to implement immediately upon returning to work.

MRO Inventory & Critical Spares Management Optimization

This 2-day masterclass provides practical strategies to optimize MRO inventory and critical spares management. Participants will learn how to maximize asset performance, extend equipment lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure safety and compliance through data-driven spare parts management. The course equips professionals to transform storerooms from a cost center into a strategic asset that directly supports operational reliability and efficiency.

WHY ATTEND THIS MASTERCLASS?

Most if not all industries have a storeroom to keep parts of their equipment they need from time to time but not all these industries have the knowledge or know how to manage their storeroom and spare parts. In fact, the Storeroom and Spare Parts is one of the functions on where maintenance can save on cost and almost every industry have a horrible story to tell on their storeroom that they have experience. With the absence of a sound strategy on spare parts most of us rely on vendor on what to stock which end up as non-moving most of the time.

Salvo Global’s 2-day course of MRO Inventory & Spare Parts Management Optimization will help attendees learn proven strategies on how they can improve and optimize their spare parts and storeroom. This might be the missing link in improving your reliability and maintenance strategy.

  • Maximize asset value and performance Ensure assets operate reliably and efficiently to support business objectives, which involves proactive monitoring and predictive maintenance rather than reactive repairs.
  • Extend Asset Lifespan: Implement strategic maintenance plans to slow down asset degradation, preventing premature failure and reducing the frequency of costly replacements or overhauls.
  • Optimize MRO Efficiency and Costs: Use data driven insights to schedule maintenance activities efficiently, ensuring the right resources, parts, and personnel are available when and as needed. This minimizes downtimes and avoids unnecessary repairs or emergency maintenance costs.
  • Ensure Safety and Compliance: Guarantee that all assets meet regulatory and safety Proper asset management tracks maintenance records and compliance requirements, mitigating risk and liability.
  • Facilitate Informed Decision -Making: Provide a clear understanding of the condition and performance of all assets. This allows management to make strategic decisions regarding the repair.
