Planning and Scheduling

In 2003, when I was just getting started in the Asset Management world, my boss handed me a book on Planning and Scheduling which changed my whole perspective on the key to successfully managing maintenance.  The book, Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook 3/E by Richard (Doc) Palmer, outlined the mechanics of doing effective planning and scheduling.  In 2012, one of my colleagues from work contracted with Doc Palmer for consulting support and began the process of following Doc's guidelines in the daily work planning and scheduling.  The results have been impressive and in 2014 a video demonstrating the objectives, the process in the CMMS, and a discussion with Doc Palmer was recorded.   You can find the video here: https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1035424
