A comprehensive work week management solution for SAP PM/IBM Maximo that empowers your organization to execute routine maintenance work on time, boost craft productivity and lower maintenance costs.
The work week management process consists of a multi-week rolling schedule to ensure that the highest routine maintenance work priorities are being completed on time on a weekly basis.
It provides supervisors with clear direction for integrating emergency work and overcoming the multitude of day-to-day challenges that can occur, in order to closely adhere to the approved weekly schedule.
It promotes teamwork between maintenance and operations so they can work together to maximize equipment uptime and production output.
It provides controls on multi-week schedules that neither project scheduling software, nor scheduling spreadsheets can achieve, since they have never been designed to manage the multi-week scheduling process.
Visual Planner consists of four applications that offer a unique graphical calendar approach, specifically designed to support the multi-week scheduling process from long-term capacity planning to short term scheduling and work execution.
The Visual Planner app for maintenance scheduling has been embedded in SAP PM and IBM Maximo using the latest technical architecture. This approach allows Visual Planner to have the same look and feel as the host software, which leads to seamless and enthusiastic adoption by the users.
Visual Planner’s architecture provides a single point of truth by ensuring that the host system’s data is accessed and updated directly and instantly using the host’s standard architecture. It ensures the utmost data security, in contrast with interfaced systems, which often have latency and data integrity issues.
This approach also ensures the lowest cost of ownership, as there are no external systems to install and manage. This means your IT team will already be familiar with Visual Planner’s technology, without requiring additional training on an external system.
Visual Planner received the first ever Integrated Service Management Library Excellence Award from IBM in 2011.
Today, Visual Planner is used by over 10,000 reliability professionals worldwide, providing outstanding value to organizations in all industrial sectors.
