Title: Maintenance scheduling

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5793913

The requirements for daily, weekly, monthly and overtime maintenance scheduling of coal-fired power plants are discussed. It is concluded that maintenance scheduling is as essential as the physical performance of the work itself. By prescheduling maintenance, the optimum utilization of manpower and equipment reliability will be obtained. Spare parts, special tools and service engineer requirements can be anticipated with reasonable scheduling. Meetings are a distasteful word in anyone's vocabulary. However, close communication, between operation and maintenance, is a must to insure that both departments are aware of the job status and progress. Improved communication and scheduling of equipment maintenance can help break down the barrier that has developed between the two Departments.
