While doing asset management, the organizations are always keen to balance the outcomes between performance, cost, and risk.

177-Project Manager’s Guide with Brandon Weil

177-Project Manager’s Guide with Brandon Weil

Project Manager’s Guide with Brandon Weil

Planning and scheduling maintenance and reliability programs takes a bit of a work but implementing that plan takes real effort and that’s where the project managers come in. They are the ones who define the scope of the plan and come with estimates in terms of budget and time. Project planners usually have a singular responsibility and that is to divide the work into a group of activities. These activities are part of major interdependent processes and there are always risks involved that need to be identified and addressed at the very start. It is very difficult to get the results without proper planning and management.

In this episode, we covered:

  • How do you become an effective Project Manager?
  • What are the traits of a reliable Project Manager?
  • What are the the steps for M&R Implementation?
  • And much more!

Bonus Episode-Planner Certification with Shon Isenhour

Bonus Episode-Planner Certification with Shon Isenhour

Planner Certification with Shon Isenhour

Behind a successful reliability program, there’s always a great plan for implementation. This is something that maintenance planners handle. They are the ones who create job plans, strategize those plans, and then develop procedures to implement them with success. The scope of a maintenance planner’s job is flexible, so there are different type roles that a planner or a planner and scheduler plays depending upon the type of the organization they are working for. Some of the maintenance planners receive proper training while the others just get into the process as they go along.

In this episode, we covered:

  • Why is a plan for implementation the key to a successful reliability program?
  • Why is consistent feedback important?
  • Why does planning and scheduling hold great organizational value?
  • And much more!
