| Planner
Priority
In executing this work there
will always be difficulties. These are associated with:
- Labor shortages
- Plant availability
- Material lead times
|
To balance these items against
the priorities of the plant as represented by the originator
priorities, the planner requires a system of coding work
orders to determine how they will practically be completed.
The degree of flexibility needs to be built into the coding
system.
This adds a third dimension to
the prioritization process and allows for the consideration of
real world limitations on workflows. Including rapid changes
to overall operations priority.
Although there are many
recommended approaches to prioritization, I would recommend
this system as one that is suited to organizations where the
maintenance function may cover various plants or ranges of
equipment. As well it can easily be adapted if the
organization decides to re-structure itself. (As happens
frequently)
No matter which approach is
used, without it, the maintenance department cannot
continually carry out its function with any degree of
certainty.
