Maintenance Planner Job Description
Role
The basic goal of planning and scheduling is avoiding delay. The role of the Maintenance Planner is to improve work force productivity and work quality by anticipating and eliminating potential delays through planning and coordination of labor, parts and material, and equipment access. It takes a professionally trained Maintenance Planner carefully planning and scheduling work to maintain the designed reliability of equipment. Job plans created by the Maintenance Planner are intended to ensure or extend the life expectancy of equipment therefore aiding in the total reduction of maintenance cost and increased output of product.
Reporting to the Maintenance Manager and maintaining liaison between Operations and Maintenance, the planner is responsible for planning, scheduling, and coordination of all plannable maintenance work performed within the facility. Through supervision of the Maintenance Administrator, the planner is also responsible for maintenance of records and files essential to meaningful analysis and reporting of maintenance-related matters.
By definition of the role itself, Maintenance Planners are required to interact and communicate regularly with Operations and Maintenance. Not only is the maintenance planner's role to interact with these groups, he serves as an integral member of the relationship between the groups by acting as a liaison between them.
Responsibilities and Duties
The planning and scheduling function is the hub from which all plannable maintenance activity is coordinated. It is the process of describing a job in terms of how it is to be performed and what resources will be required. It involves a broad spectrum of activity.
The Planner must know the job well enough to describe what is to be accomplished and estimate how many labor-hours will be required. If the Planner doesn't know requirements, the assigned crew will not know the expectation.
In performance of her/his duties, the Planner:
+
Will be the principal contact and liaison person between Maintenance, Operations and other supported departments. In this capacity, the planner ensures that all internal beneficiaries of Maintenance receive timely, efficient and quality service. He also takes a continuing interest in internal needs. With keen awareness of the situation (schedule, problems, etc.), the Planner is able to help Operations balance their need for daily output with their need of equipment reliability through proactive maintenance.
+
Is responsible for long-range as well as short-range planning. Long-range planning involves the regular analysis of backlog relative to available resources. These two basic variables must be kept in balance if a proactive maintenance environment is to be established and sustained .

Frequent and effective communication is a requirement for building strong relationships and creating alignment among groups.
