Maintenance planners are often underutilized within maintenance organizations, which is a significant oversight. It is essential to recognize that maintenance planners serve as a valuable resource solely dedicated to preparing for the future. Neglecting to prioritize this role can result in the typical inefficiencies associated with reactive maintenance practices, leading to unacceptable levels of wrench-time. Therefore, it is crucial to remember the importance of the maintenance planner's role in mitigating these issues and ensuring optimal maintenance operations.
