Planners struggle... closing the gap

It seems that we all have expectations of what we envision Maintenance and Turnaround Planners are required to deliver. The skillset and abilities of the Planning discipline is dubious at best. With that said the expectations and reality of matching qualifications, experience, tenure and performance quite often is a moving target. To reconcile needs and expectations we need to have clear understanding of the complexity and magnitude of scope, synchronized with a detailed roles & responsibilities model . Once the resource has been secured we need to train the Planner to utilize required software's, tools, templates and basis on which the required outputs are managed and reported. The unfortunate reality is we have not addressed the need, as an industry, to formulate a set of competencies and experience to achieve even our basic expectations.

Tenure + Training = Competency
