JOB PLANS CREATION

24 Training Hours

Introduction

Basically, a job plan will outline the job:

• Procedures or steps

• Parts used

• Tools required

• Skills (both craft and quantity)

• Work Scope

• Job constraints and risks

• QA/QC - minimum workmanship specifications, instructions, and “Proof of Compliance”.

• “Machine Condition” information gathering requirements

 

All businesses, from mom-and-pop shops to billion-dollar companies, recognize the need to provide a mechanism for incorporating maintenance, operations, inventory, safety, health, and environmental requirements into the maintenance plans. This will result in a truly integrated approach to maintenance.

An organization must be able to provide a higher level of consistency and quality execution due to a well-developed job package. e.g., job package should include specifications and procedures. This higher level of consistency and quality will yield a much more stable and sustainable world class asset management process. 

Job plans will also provide a means of achieving a higher “compliance to schedule” rating. A well-developed job plan will provide the tradesperson with not only procedures, parts, and tools, but also with a time expectation to complete the job. The tradesperson will have a higher confidence level in completing the work on time.

Job plans documents the job constraints and risks. As a result, the tradesperson can make better decisions while doing the job. It also advises the tradesperson of specific safety hazards associated with the work area and/or equipment.

Job plans also save time in planning, mobilization, and decision-making time, so maintenance can react quicker to “windows of opportunity” and provide a system for continuous improvement through refinement of the work package.

A job plan will provide or reference all job details or documentation for repetitive job types. This reduces the planning and coordinating time of the planners and schedulers.

This workshop will provide you with comprehensive, interactive training to help you fully understand and apply concepts learned. 

​

Objectives

Learn: 

 

The theory and concepts for applying a risk-based and quality-controlled approach to job package building.

 

After completing this workshop, you will be able to:

​

• Explain basic concepts of a risk-based approach to job plan building.

• Explain the job package steps.

• Explain the role of QA/QC in job package development.

• Define the job plan building process.

• Define a standard job package format that meets your needs.

• Define job risk.

• Determine the appropriate level of job plan content.

• Define the components and layout of an instruction set.

​

Methodology

 

This course was developed using over 30 years of experience of world class best practices. The focus is on value adding activities and understanding primary reasons for building job packages. The instructor will focus attention on the critical importance of ensuring appropriate levels of Quality Control (QC) in job plan documentation, Reducing the risk of the job not being carried out to the plan, guides the collection of required job documentation needed to prove due diligence as the work is completed (regulatory compliance and reporting), guiding the collection of proper documentation needed for other internal business processes (failure analysis, condition monitoring, cost benefit analysis, etc.), ensuring the right level of work is carried out at a minimum cost (e.g. only necessary steps are performed and “at risk” parts are changed or repaired).

 

Benefits

 

• Defines and details the work scope for each task including critical job quality specifications.

• Provides a method of managing equipment failure modes (how a piece of equipment wears/fails)? Various tactics such as: predictive or preventative maintenance can be used to manage different defined failure modes.

• Provides necessary quality/technical guidelines and documentation. Enables all critical operation & maintenance information are documented in aid of consistently implementing the maintenance plan.

• Provides a method of managing part requirements. When job packages are pre-built, the parts requirements are pre-determined and recorded as part of the job plan. As such parts usage can be planned of the need.

• When used with a CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), one job plan can be assigned to multiple pieces of equipment (or tag #’s), and to multiple PMs. As such, administration time to update, modify job plans for all plant equipment, and PMs can be reduced.
