Coaching is one of the key activities that help individual employees bring out the best of themselves to the table. It helps in maximizing their performance by making the best use of their abilities. A good coach helps the trainees to focus on the work they are doing. He facilitates them in every way he can so that they would improve their work by themselves. It can be a hard job sometimes because it’s a two-way street. The coaching will only be effective if the employee and coach are both receptive to the learning. They need to be willing to make improvements.

Scheduling is one of the key pieces in Maintenance and Management. When you are working on a piece of equipment vigorously to meet your production goals, some problems now and then are bound to occur. Now, these problems need to be fixed in time. This is how a maintenance job starts. When a job is created, it is planned and then needs time and resources to be completed successfully. That’s where scheduling comes in. The job of Maintenance Scheduler involves gathering all the information about a job, make sense of it, and then coordinate with all the related department to complete it just as planned.

It is a common practice in the organizations to spend money on the maintenance of the equipment. They bring in a lot of people on board to fix the machines and every time a failure occurs, the maintenance guys do a temporary fix, and on and on it goes. In this process of fixing machines, if the organizations paid as much attention to the reliability of the assets rather than divert all their resources towards maintenance side of things, they might finally have a sustainable maintenance and reliability program. Maintenance and Reliability go hand in hand. You can’t just focus on maintenance alone.
