The podcast discusses the importance of maintenance planning and scheduling software to optimize costs and operational efficiency. It highlights that planned maintenance is significantly cheaper than reactive maintenance, and demonstrates how increased preventive maintenance results in significant savings, primarily through improving "wrench time" (the time effectively dedicated to repair). The analysis includes numerical examples and methods for measuring "wrench time," proposing solutions to increase its productivity and reduce overall maintenance costs. Finally, the text encourages the use of enterprise asset management (EAM) solutions to improve data collection and the planning process.
