Planning and Scheduling of Maintenance Processes – M07

(Nicolae UNGUREANU)

 

09.00 – 13.00

 

 

 

Description of the module:

 

To be a world leader in spite of the fierce international competition, a company has to act on the 2 levers of competitiveness: cutting costs by using production resources at best and meeting the customers' requirements regarding delivery time by reducing cycle times and keeping its obligations.

The aim of this part is to run through the different methods used to efficiently control the activity of a workshop, to study the most widely used scheduling techniques, such as job order management while taking into account not only the real condition of the workshop (authorized and/or available resources) but also its specifications and capacity in order to optimize its activity.

 

Scheduling consists in planning tasks according to time constraints (lead time, flow constraints) and to constraints linked to the availability of the required resources.

 

In production (manufacturing or service), this involves launching and controlling progress of a series of orders throughout the different centres composing the system.

 

Scheduling brings a solution to the problem of short-term production planning. A Gantt chart is generally used to schedule the activities to be completed. It consists in loading the jobs (sequence) against a process (people and equipment) and against a time dimension (calendar).

 

This module has for objectives:

-          to identify the different steps of production activity control

-          to use the different scheduling methods

to get familiar with splitting and overlapping methods
