Maintenance Nuts & Bolts March 2010 |
 One of the most often asked questions of me by participants in our training programs is: "How to determine what manpower I am going to need for upcoming weeks?" A valid question since so many are having to do more with less; both in resources and personnel.
This month's tip is going to address this question and provide you with a link to a sample Excel spreadsheet that will both guide and help you in the process. This may raise some questions, so don't hesitate to contact anyone of us and we will be glad to help you through it.
Next month the topic is: Justifications for Improving Asset Reliability!
Have a great month!

TIP OF THE MONTH
How to Easily Determine your Manpower Availability for Upcoming Workweeks!
When attempting to schedule your maintenance work requests for upcoming work weeks you have two things to consider.
-
Content and Status of your backlog, or deferred work as some call it, and the amount of available resources you will have to complete the requested work. Backlog is simply a properly sorted and prioritized list of work which has been requested from your customer or generated from preventive maintenance inspections.
- Manpower Availability is the second component to calculate to determine your upcoming manpower needs for the upcoming week. To do this you need to calculate how many man-hours will be available for maintenance work. The easiest way is to write down your total man power employed and subtract hours for items that will not be available for maintenance work like: vacation, sick leave, meetings, training, personal time away from work, carryover jobs from previous week, regular scheduled PMs, and so forth.
To assist you with this, I am providing you with a link to a sample spreadsheet that will make this process quicker and easier. Spreadsheet
