your details with subject registration workshop updates. Maintenance professionals have, for many years, accepted their responsibility in terms of ensuring that the assets they are responsible for are available for use when needed and meet all necessary compliance standards. Increasingly however the world of a maintenance organisation is shifting from being asset centric to becoming Service centric, with performance based contracts and service level agreements that can be difficult to meet or even measure. Also, in recent years, we have seen an increasing mobilisation of the workforce and an adoption of mobile technology. In the maintenance arena, we are now seeing technicians with PDA-based work instructions, using telecoms and wi-fi network communications to receive work and feedback completion.Meeting these new developments and changing environments results most of the time in more pressure on maintenance processes, labour productivity and ultimately profitability. Fortunately, you do not have to solve this problem alone - there are now resource scheduling and optimisation tools available as a complimentary solution to support your maintenance management system. Workshop 'Smart Schedule' on the 5th December MACS EU Ltd has organised a free workshop on the 5th December to introduce maintenance professionals to Smart Schedule. Smart Schedule is a resource scheduling and optimisation tool from Syclo LLC, that allows maintenance organisations to allocate the best person to perform the most critical work within prescribed SLA timescales. In scheduling resources to work assignments, Smart Schedule can be configured to consider a wide range of factors including work criticality, work/resource locations, resource skills requirements, existing workload, holidays and many others. The weighting given to these during the optimisation process can be tailored to suit each particular environment and maintenance management system. Smart Schedule has a highly visual user interface that supports the automatic colour-coding of tasks as they are assigned, started and completed. Alerts can be configured to flag where tasks are reaching their SLA commitments and their colour changed accordingly. The dispatcher or supervisor is then able to intervene and re-scheduling or re-prioritise work – though a simple drag and drop, and in so doing, maximising the opportunity to meet the SLA. During the workshop, attendees will be introduced to how a resource scheduling and optimisation tool can benefit an organisation and how it works. Further MACS will show how the tool can interact with asset management systems such as IBM’s Maximo Asset Management system.
