Practical CMMS & Materials scheduling for oil & gas
Course Description
Oil & Gas organizations rely on high equipment availability, safe operations, and disciplined cost control. A robust CMMS/EAM process—paired with effective materials planning & scheduling—is the backbone for delivering reliable production, compliant maintenance, and optimized inventory. This course moves beyond theory to hands on, practical methods for building an integrated planning, scheduling, and materials pipeline—linking work identification → prioritization → planning → materials readiness → scheduling → execution → close out → analytics/KPIs. Participants will practice with real world data structures (functional locations, equipment masters, BOMs), planning standards (task lists, labor norms, estimate libraries), parts strategies (critical spares, MRP, min max), and schedule governance (90 day frozen windows, weekly scheduling, daily control). We emphasize safe work, compliance, and value realization through measurable KPIs.

Assessment & Certification

  • Formative assessments after each module (quizzes, quick practical checks)
  • Capstone evaluation (rubric‑based on completeness, realism, and KPI alignment)
  • Certificate of Completion (70% overall threshold recommended)
Training Objective

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  1. Design a CMMS workflow for corrective, preventive, predictive, and shutdown work that drives data quality and reliable execution.
  2. Build maintainable plans (task lists, work packs, estimates) with accurate labor, duration, tools, permits, and QA/QC.
  3. Integrate materials: create and maintain BOMs, set MRP & stocking policies, and align procurement lead times with the schedule.
  4. Run the planning & scheduling cycle (90‑day look‑ahead → weekly schedule → daily control) with gates for “Ready to Schedule.”
  5. Manage Turnarounds/Shutdowns (STO): scope control, materials staging, risk registers, critical path, and readiness reviews.
  6. Use KPIs and dashboards (Schedule Compliance, Planning Backlog, OTIF materials, Cost vs Budget, Wrench‑time) to drive continuous improvement.
  7. Govern master data (criticality, coding standards, naming conventions) and close the loop with failure coding and root‑cause learning.
  8. Map your current state and design a pragmatic improvement roadmap (90‑day/6‑month plan).
