Overview
The People Rules of Planning
Rule 1: The planning program is not trying to give away the plant’s work to contractors
Rule 2: Planners cannot plan the perfect job
Rule 3: Planning is not designed to take the brains out of the technicians
Rule 4: The technicians own the job after the supervisor assigns it to them
Rule 5: Planners cannot make the perfect time estimate
Rule 6: Management cannot hold technicians accountable to time estimates for single jobs
Rule 7: Showing what is not correct is often as important as showing what is correct
Rule 8: Planners do not add value if they help jobs-in-progress
Rule 9: Everyone is an adult
Rule 10: Everyone should enjoy their work
Rule 11: Everyone should go home at the end of each day knowing if they have won or lost
Rule 12: Wrench time is not strictly under the control of the technicians
Rule 13: Schedule compliance is not strictly under the control of the crew supervisors
Rule 14: It is better to train employees and lose them than to not train them and keep them
Rule 15: Modern maintenance needs to do less with less
