1.0 INTRODUCTION
Planned Maintenance focuses mainly on the actions related to maintainability and reliability
of equipment. In this process, equipment & design weaknesses are corrected and ideal state of
equipment part are maintained. This results in improvement in quality of products and leads
in finally reducing breakdown to zero. Planned maintenance addresses issues like how to
bring the machine back to as it should be condition.
Planned Maintenance has to focus on preventive actions to eliminate equipment failures or
breakdowns in order to ensure availability and reliability of equipment and to minimize cost
of maintenance. To realize maintenance goal there are two classifications of maintenance
measures.
A) Maintenance activities
a. To prevent failures
b. To fix failures

B) Improvement activities
a. To extend life span of parts
b. To shorten maintenance time
c. To avoid maintenance
1.1 Objective and goal of maintenance planning
Delay avoidance is the basic goal of planning and scheduling. The objective of job planning
is to allow the section or department to prepare for, or perform and complete the job without
encountering time-wasting delay, and the job is delivery in the safety manner to satisfaction
of the customer at the optimal cost [8]. Maintenance planning, or work preparation can be set
as six primary objective such
1) Optimal support of the operational plan
2) Completion of maintenance work when it is needed, in a safe and efficient manner, at
the most effective cost.
3) Minimizing of lost production or breakdown time due to maintenance.
2

4) Fully utilizing of maintenance labour and materials through effectively planned and
balanced schedules
5) Proper resource allocation based on criteria needed
6) Minimizing of labour delay and idle time through effective coordination of all
participating functions.

1.2 Advantages of maintenance planning
Without effective planning and scheduling, proper management of the varying scope and
diverse activities performed by the organization or company is impossible. Other advantages
of planning maintenance activities include [1]:
1) Work and workload measurement
2) Better methods and procedures
3) Establish of priorities
4) Monitoring of jobs status
5) Coordination of labour, materials, equipment and schedule
6) Coordinate specialists based on trades
7) Coordination of part, material and special equipment

1.3 Scheduling
Scheduling is one of the advantages to doing preventive maintenance over waiting until
equipment fails and then doing emergency repairs. The planning for inspections and
preventive activities can be done days, weeks and event moths in advance in order to assure
that the most convenient time.
In Aviation industry, 3 primary functions are more dominant to be focus on; forecasting,
planning and control. Forecasting activities included the estimated maintenance workload for
the long term and the short term based on the existing fleet. Planning involves the scheduling
of upcoming maintenance and includes the planning and scheduling of all manpower, parts,
facilities and time frame requirement for such maintenance less than A checks items, daily
checks, 48-hour checks, transit check and other letter checks . These plan may include
3

incorporation of Service Bulletin, Service Letters, Airworthiness Directive as well as other
modification deemed necessary by the products or authorities requirements. During the
actual performance of maintenance, many things occur that require alteration of the plan. The
control function allows adjustment of the plan and keeps the check on schedule. There are
several methods of adjusting the plan including deferral of maintenance to a later check,
additional of personnel to complete the work, or outsourcing the work to contractor.
Feedback form a check allows the planner to adjust the planning effort for future checks.
Planning department or section actually does the planning. This is the first step in
accomplishing the work at hand and must always precede action. Without planning, action
would be impulsive and produce unpredictable results.
1.3.1 Forecasting
Forecasting is concerned with the future workload. It must take into account the
routine maintenance requirements as well as all planned changes in the future
operations relative to maintenance. Any changes in fleet size and make up, changes in
facilities, man-power, and skill requirements must be tracked. Future plan must also
accommodate aging and replacement of equipment, adding new equipment and the
planned incorporation of Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins. Forecast are
usually made for the long and short term but often an intermediate term forecast is
also made. The changes that are planned by the aircraft operators in long term will
effect maintenance and engineering activities. This changes will impact scheduling,
budgeting, manpower, and facilities. Adjustment must be made in all areas to meet the
goal and objectives, so plan must be made in advance. Short term forecast are more
detailed and usually cover 1 or 2 years. These forecast contain more definitive plan
with attention to actual manpower and budget. Schedule for check and known
modification are finalized in the short term plans.
1.3.2 Production Planning
While forecasting in long range and general, planning deals with day-to-day activities.
The goal is to deliver airworthy aircraft in time to meet the flight schedule, with all
maintenance activities complete or proper deferred.
4

In general, engineering has develop the maintenance plan and divided the work into
the appropriate work package, identifying the tasks to be done, the intervals at which
the work will be done, and the manpower requirement for each task. Planning then
take the engineering package and plan, schedule and adjust the work for each check
and for each aircraft, adding any additional tasks as necessary.
Production planning involves the planning of all maintenance activities: daily, 48-
hour, transit checks, letter checks, and modification due to airworthiness directives,
service bulletins, service letters and engineering orders. It also involves the planning
and scheduling of all aspects of those check including man-power, parts, supplies, and
facilities. Coordination with flight operations and with ground handling and support
activities is also included in the planning efforts.
1.3.3 Production Control
The plan produced allows a certain amount of time for the performance work based
on past knowledge of the work to be done and also based on the assumption that parts,
supplies, manpower, and facilities will be available when needed. The plan also
assumes that there is no variation in the flow of work activities. The planner can only
estimate the amount of time required for non-routine items and this can be less than
accurate. Through feedback for similar tasks on previous checks the planner,
however can get some idea of what might be expected. It is important for those doing
the work and controlling the checks to provide information back to planning to help
them to make more accurate estimates for next check planning effort.
1.4 Feedback for planning
It is important for the operators and planner to know how much time is need to perform the
maintenance task and overall check so that planning can be done accurate and the check
completed within a reasonable amount of time. If any change to be made, it is important th
get back to planner so that the next planning can be incorporated. What the planners need are
to know how to adjust future plans on the curtained significant parameter such
1) The amount of time required t perform each task
5

2) The amount of time lost in waiting for delivery of parts, information and material,
equipment and tools.
3) The downtime for unusual circumstances
4) The additional time required for non-routine findings
5) The variation in manpower availability
6) Lost time due to parts robbing from other jobs [7].
1.5 Organisation of planner.
The planning work can be done by a centralized or decentralized group of planner. In the
centralized group, all function such forecasting, planning and control are done in the
organization with liaison to the work centre during actual performance of work. In a partially
decentralized organization, the forecasting and planning would be done by planner and the
control would be done by personnel in the hangar or other work centre. There must be
feedback and coordination between the two functions for the planner to develop usable plans
in the future [7].

2.0 PLANNING OF EAGLE 150B
Todays in aviation industry environment, the requirement of maintenance planner have
become much broader in scope and more complex execution. This situation has often led to
modification of planning and scheduling responsibilities to parallel the skill level of the
individual assigned as the planner. The entire maintenance planning and schedule, and
depending on the unique variables at every base and out-base facility, additional process may
be assigned to the planning and scheduling functions.
2.1 Sequence of planning
The planning and scheduling function is the centre from which all maintenance activity is
coordinated, while planning and scheduling are closely related, they are distinct functions:
1) Planning (how to do the job): planning is advanced preparation of selected jobs so
they can be executed in an efficient and effective manner during job execution that
takes place at future date. It is a process of detailed analysis to determine and describe
the work to be performed, task sequence and methodology, plus identification of
required resources including skills, crew size, labour-hours, spare parts and material,
special tools and equipments. It also include an estimate of total cost and encompasses
essential preparatory and restart efford of operation as well as maintenance.
2) Scheduling (when to do the job); scheduling is the process by which requires
resources are allocated to specific jobs at a time the internal customer can make the
associated equipment or job site accessible. Scheduling and coordination is the
marketing arm of a successful maintenance management.
The planning process begins with the following consideration:
1) Control minor maintenance work activities within the palnt work control system
2) Determine the level of detail necessary to accomplish maintenance tasks and
troubleshooting
3) Use maintenance history in planning corrective maintenance and repetitive job tasks
4) Identify needed support to perform maintenance.
5) Prepare and assembly a maintenance work package. This inclusive of procedure and
work package approval, and work package closeout and maintenance history update
7

For an aircraft such Eagle 150B model, the maintenance often required for each hour of
flying time. Major maintenance activities such overhauling which required nearly all parts
and systems on the aircraft have to be done on periodic basis. Event for the brand new aircraft
may require simple inspection and maintenance at first, it will start to increase based on the
complexity of the aircraft and their onboard over the following years, the expenses will rise
accordingly.
Eagle 150B has it owned approved document which have been assessed and endorsed by
Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia (DCAM). The document is called Approved
Maintenance Schedule has set out the inspection work necessary and the maximum periods at
which work must be completed. The Schedule is an agreement between the operator and
DCAM as to minimum standard of maintenance necessary to ensure the aircraft in an
airworthy condition. The schedule developed is formulated upon Eagle Aircraft Service
Manual and also with reference to IO-240 Engine Series Maintenance Manual.
The aircraft, engines, propeller, radios, instrument and related equipment are maintained in
accordance with the appropriate manufactures Service Manual, Service Instructions, Service
Bulletin, Service Letters , Malaysian Civil Aviation Regulation and DCAM airworthiness
Directive.
The inspection and inspection intervals to be carried out are in accordance to Eagle 150B
Airplane Service Manual and Approved Flight Manual. Among the standard inspections
which must be complete at time or date are
1) 50-hours inspection or 6 month
2) 100- hours inspection shall have a calendar limitation of 1 year, the check being
carried out whichever occurs first.
3) 3000 hours inspection is known as Airframe Service Cycle (ASC)
4) 10000 hours inspection in known as Major Airframe Inspection (MAI)
5) The Radio annual inspection shall be carried out and certified at monthly intervals
6) The inspection that contain the inspection requirement, including the daily
inspection. Whilst the aircraft is away from maintenance base, the daily inspection
shall be carry out on the 7
th
day of by the license Engineer [5].

3.0 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The scheduling function puts the work into the hands of the Maintenance Organization's
tradespersons. Once work has been planned and equipment and material availability has been
assured, work scheduling can be addressed. The scheduling of maintenance work, including
associated coordination with the equipment custodian, is the process by which designated
resources and resource skill levels required to complete specific jobs are allocated. The
allocated resources are further coordinated and synchronized to be at the proper place at a
designated time, so that work can be started and proceed to completion with minimal delay,
within the intended time frame and in accordance with predetermined priorities and budgets.
In simpler terms, the purpose of scheduling is to ensure that resources, personnel and
materials are available at a specified time and place when the unit on which the work is to be
performed will also be available. Work should be scheduled to have the least adverse impact
on the operations schedule while optimizing the use of maintenance resources, especially
labour.
The maintenance schedules recommended by Eagle Aircraft (M) Sdn. Bhd. are specified in
the scheduled maintenance of the EAGLE 150B Job Order. The inspection system has five
categories: Airframe, Engine, Electrical, Instrument and Radio. This maintenance is
recommended to be carried out at 100 hour intervals but not longer than 12 month intervals.
To complete an annual/100-hour inspection all five categories must be complete.

4.0 CONCLUSION
Maintenance planning and scheduling describes the policies and procedures necessary to
provide a safe, efficient and effective maintenance. A maintenance policy is based on the type
of maintenance the organization is able to perform, the reliability of the equipment and the
target availability of the system.
Schedule maintenance includes those maintenance activities which are carried out at
predetermined interval of time operation. The process consists of systematic activities to
detect and prevent potential failures.
Manpower management techniques often result in substantial savings when applied to
maintenance activities. The savings can be realized by continuing to provide the existing
level of service by reducing the maintenance forces or by keeping the maintenance forces at
present levels and increasing the amount of work and service.
Proper maintenance planning will help in establishing standard operating procedures for the
treatment facility. A labour standard can be defined as the sum of a group of elemental time
values. The values which are used are the times required to perform defined elements of work
in a specific maintenance job. Maintenance labour standards can increase efficiency in
scheduling, manpower utilization and productivity.
There are also benefits to management with effective planning and scheduling which can
reduce total cost maintenance while improving conditions of equipment and parts. The
experience having the recoded data, it permits an accurate forecasting of labour and material
need for the future jobs and provide factual data required evaluation of performance and
corrective action as needed. The proper planning also can provide the management with
measures of efficiency, which point out variation and outstanding performance through the
collection and analysis of cost and assure the economical level of maintenance with less
interruption of production.
