Production Professionals: Team-Based Work Control Management

About This Workshop

Team-Based Work Control Management for the Production Professional equips production personnel with the knowledge, processes, and tools to effectively engage in maintenance work control activities. This course highlights how production teams can partner with maintenance, engineering, and reliability specialists to achieve smoother operations, improved asset performance, and optimal resource utilization. Participants will learn how effective work identification, planning, scheduling, and integrated asset care contribute to a more stable production environment, reduced downtime, and better alignment between production objectives and maintenance activities.

Learning Formats

  • Instructor-Led Discussions: Explore core concepts of work control management and their relevance to the production environment.
  • Interactive Workshops: Practice generating work requests, setting priorities, and coordinating schedules with maintenance and reliability personnel.
  • Case Studies & Simulations: Analyze scenarios involving emergency work, integrated asset care, and operator-driven improvements to strengthen decision-making skills.
  • Collaborative Exercises: Work in cross-functional groups to refine communication strategies and align production activities with maintenance objectives.
  • Q&A Sessions & Feedback Loops: Engage with instructors and peers to clarify concepts, discuss challenges, and ensure applicability of course lessons in real-world settings.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Production Efficiency: By understanding maintenance processes—work requests, planning, and scheduling—production professionals can anticipate downtime and coordinate their operations more effectively.
  • Reduced Unplanned Interruptions: Comprehensive strategies for handling emergency and break-in work help stabilize production schedules and maintain steady output.
  • Improved Team Coordination: Clear roles, responsibilities, and collaborative approaches enable production personnel to work seamlessly with maintenance and reliability teams.
  • Optimized Asset Performance: Embracing integrated asset care ensures that operators and maintenance staff collaborate to detect early issues, improve asset reliability, and extend equipment life.
  • Cost and Risk Reduction: Better planning leads to fewer last-minute changes, lower emergency work ratios, and improved safety compliance, ultimately reducing overhead costs and potential risks.

What Will You Learn?

  • Fundamentals of Work Control Management: Understand WCM principles, the importance of clear work requests, and how planning and scheduling processes improve maintenance execution time.
  • Work Identification & Proactive Maintenance Approaches: Learn to initiate effective work requests, embrace methodologies like RCM and PM/PdM, and recognize the value of the P-F interval in preventing failures.
  • Managing Emergency & Break-In Work: Gain strategies to minimize disruptions by distinguishing between emergency, break-in, and scheduled work, and applying team-based tactics to reduce unplanned interventions.
  • Integrated Asset Care for Production Professionals: Discover how operators can support maintenance efforts through cleaning, inspection, and lubrication (CIL), and the role of integrated asset care in improving equipment reliability.
  • Roles and Responsibilities in a Team-Based Environment: Clarify how production professionals collaborate with maintenance planners, schedulers, and reliability specialists, ensuring all parties understand their influence on asset performance.
  • Applying Work Control Management in Production Settings: Develop the ability to anticipate challenges, coordinate efforts among departments, and use consistent processes and communication channels to eliminate delays and inefficiencies.
