Integrated Maintenance Planning

Abstract

Maintenance planning and scheduling require utilization of resources at a maximum level. Integrated maintenance planning is an approach in planning that takes into consideration global production systems at the business level. It considers the expectation of all internal and external stakeholders of the maintenance function to secure the maximum benefits from the whole system. In this chapter, the process of high level (strategic) planning that links maintenance strategies to business and production strategies is described. The traditional low level (operational) planning and scheduling linked with the strategic level plan is also described.Keywords Strategic planning Á Operations planning and scheduling Á Performance management Integrated maintenance planning and scheduling secures a maximum utilization of resources at the global system level. In this chapter a global view of maintenance that considers its internal and external stakeholders will be introduced followed by a detailed process for high level planning that links these stakeholders together for the maximum benefit of the whole system. Lower level planning and scheduling at the plant level is then introduced in its traditional way followed by a nontraditional scheduling that integrates scheduling within the organization is introduced. Lastly a performance management system is described for different levels or the organization. Global Maintenance SystemThe global manufacturing environment involves multiple internal and external stakeholders that need to be considered for an integrated planning process. Production and quality are major internal functional stakeholders for maintenance. Other internal stakeholders at the business level include top management, purchasing, finance and marketing departments. External stakeholders may include, U. M.

A tailorable framework of practices for maintenance delivery

“…production, maintenance, safety, compliance) may have very different opinions as to which work should go ahead, and which is the highest priority; therefore, several sources advocate a formal routine meeting (i.e. at least daily/shiftly) to allow all stakeholders to engage in the decision (Al-Turki et al , 2014; Peters, 2014; Duffuaa and Raouf, 2015). Typical core attendees include production and maintenance supervisors, as they have a good working knowledge of the asset and its maintenance priorities (Anonymous expert 7, 2017; Anonymous expert 8, 2017; Anonymous expert 9, 2017; Anonymous expert 10, 2017; Anonymous expert 11, 2017).…”

“…A linear scale of qualitative priority options is made available, typically with around 4–5 options (depending on user preference) – the most appropriate priority is simply selected in each case based on the perceived urgency of the task (e.g. immediate, urgent, normal, minor) (Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, 2010; Al-Turki et al , 2014; Ismail, 2014). [Option B] Priority decision matrix…”

The concept of maintenance sustainability performance assessment by integrating balanced scorecard with non-additive fuzzy integral

“…environmental fees, technological media costs) [5,28,47,49,55], whereas concerning the environmental dimension of the maintenance operation, i.e. planning service activities, monitoring the condition of machines and devices, it enables reduction of consumption of technological media, raw materials and materials, as well as their more efficient use [1,3,27,29,30,52]. The social dimension concerns the relationship between the maintenance function and its stakeholders both within the company and outside of it, with particular emphasis on the employees of the technical department, production, suppliers of spare parts, service providers, etc., competence and satisfaction of employees, work environment [4,48], satisfaction.…”

System-Oriented Reliability-Based Methodology for Optimal Joint Maintenance and Production Planning

“…When asset performances diverge from its desired target value, the interest of maintenance is to stop the asset, in order to intervene to extend its life cycle availability, while production needs to utilize it to maximize its efficiency. For this reason, there is the need of finding proper models that enable a joint planning of maintenance and production, which are based on a reliability approach [6]. Moreover, our hypothesis is that such models should address asset systems in their entirety, taking into account that industrial assets are complex systems composed by different components interrelating among themselves.…”
