People and Processes Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices Planning Webinar Series

As part of the myriad of duties a maintenance planner/scheduler must manage, the backlog of work yet to be done is one that can provide a either a headache or a benefit to the process.

Considering the day-to-day activities and pressing concerns often thrown onto the role of planning, this important consideration is often overlooked or ignored completely.

The backlog of future work is an important barometer of how we manage a maintenance organization to achieve the business goals. Professional maintenance involves knowing the workload for the business in advance of needing it. This also feeds into the concept of promoting a proactive culture versus a reactive one as being your normal course of business.

Yet, sometimes these backlogs all to often are just a “file” or “dumping ground” for all things we think we need to do. Having a backlog of work that is understood helps make planning and scheduling effective and promotes the ability to avoid interruptions to our schedule.

We can control costs in the world of MRO and reliability as well through these known workloads and anticipate our needs much better.

There are techniques, as well as, measures for insuring your backlogs support the goals of the business.

Join us for a webinar on what a backlog is and how to maintain it for success.
