The key purpose of the maintenance planner is to manage the relevant Maintenance Systems, spares management, generation of routine and planned maintenance schedules, provide support to maintenance teams in the execution of maintenance and ensuring relevant Permit-to-Work are in place

Key roles and responsibilities:

Maintenance Scheduling

Using the maintenance planning system, generate the routine maintenance. Schedules, this should include required cleaning, lubrication and Inspection tasks. Allocate resources to the schedules and generate works orders where these are indicated. Communicate the schedules to the production, engineering and other support teams and resolve work and resource allocation problems. Verify that routine maintenance schedules are being completed and that shift teams are completing autonomous maintenance tasks assigned to them. Complete all administration and maintenance systems tasks required supporting the management of routine maintenance schedules. Provide feedback on the efficiency of routine maintenance tasks to the shift and engineering teams and highlight non-compliance and problems that need to be addressed.

Maintenance Systems Management

Where necessary, take part in the commissioning of new maintenance systems, or changes to the current maintenance system. Manage the maintenance systems, ensuring operational and data integrity and correct use of the system. Plan required maintenance work using the maintenance system, generating the required schedules and associated works orders. Generate required maintenance reports, including SAP reports and communicate to key stakeholders. Capture required data on the maintenance systems. Data must be verified for accuracy and completeness. Conduct analysis on maintenance data to identify failure modes and root causes of maintenance problems, and to identify problems timeously. Where analysis of maintenance data indicates a need to carry out work, this information must be communicated to the engineering team and included in the planned maintenance schedules.

Maintenance Planning

Facilitate and lead the planned maintenance pre-meeting. Work required, problems to be addressed and resource requirements must be discussed. Plan all required work on the planned maintenance schedule. Ad hoc tasks should be included and prioritised and relevant works requests generated. Determine resource requirements to complete work and assign tasks to specific resources. Interaction with departmental heads to obtain resources may be required. Partake in planned maintenance period in support of maintenance team and assist with problem solving, work prioritisation and resource re-allocation. Reschedule incomplete work to the next planned maintenance period and capture all required information from planned maintenance period on the maintenance systems. Facilitate and lead the maintenance postmortems. Problems encountered, opportunities identified and lessons learned should be discussed.

Problem Solving

Where problems have occurred during routine and planned maintenance activities, apply the correct problem-solving approach to resolve. Where required, call in additional resources to assist in problem solving or escalate to the engineer for direction. Assist fellow team members to resolve problems on request. Take part, as functional expert, in FFA’s on request. Manage the maintenance systems, ensuring operational and data integrity and correct use of the system. Where analysis of maintenance data indicates a need to carry out work, this information must be communicated to the engineering team and included in the planned maintenance schedules.
