What World-Class Planning & Scheduling Looks Like — and Why It’s So Rare | Erik Hupje | MaximoLive

Описание: Join Erik Hupje from the Reliability Academy as he dives deep into the essentials of maintenance planning and scheduling. In this session, Erik explains why, despite all the technology, AI, and predictive tools available, true reliability comes down to process, discipline, and doing the basics well every day.

Using examples from the medical industry and industrial plants, Erik shares insights on building a solid maintenance foundation, avoiding reactive environments, and improving productivity through effective planning and scheduling. This video is a must-watch for anyone in maintenance, reliability, or operations management.

🔧 Key Takeaways:

-Why the basics are more important than chasing technology
-The six phases of planning and scheduling
-Common mistakes organisations make and how to fix them
-Real-world examples of how small process improvements save lives and costs

When it comes to improving maintenance performance, most organisations chase new technology (think AI, digital twins, predictive analytics), but overlook the fundamentals. The truth is that world-class reliability doesn’t start with algorithms; it starts with discipline. In this session, Erik Hupje shares why effective planning and scheduling remains the single biggest opportunity for most maintenance teams — and why so few get it right. Drawing on real examples from heavy industry, he’ll show what “good” really looks like, the simple practices that drive a 35% productivity lift, and how doing the basics well is what truly separates reliable plants from the rest.

Speaker:
Erik Hupje is the founder of the Reliability Academy and has over 25 years’ experience in managing maintenance & reliability. After graduating in 1997 from Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands, Erik worked for industry leaders like Shell and ConocoPhillips around the world including The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, the Sultanate of Oman, and Australia.
Erik’s mission is Making Reliability Simple™ for all those industrial plants out there that struggle with poor productivity, low reliability, and high costs. Reliability is not easy, but it doesn’t have to be complex.
He is a Certified Maintenance & Reliability Practitioner (CMRP), Certified Reliability Leader (CRL), Certified Asset Management Assessor (CAMA), a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng), and holds an Executive MBA and a Master’s Degree in Systems Engineering.
