What Is
Maintenance Planning
Maintenance job plans define the tasks and frequencies and provide a structured approach for maintaining assets over their lifecycle. They incorporate risk assessments, preventive strategies, and predictive techniques to ensure that maintenance activities are appropriate to the equipment operating regime and carried out efficiently and cost-effectively. A well-designed maintenance plan helps businesses prevent failures, extend asset life, and improve overall productivity.
At MCP Consulting Group, we assist organisations in developing customised maintenance plans that enhance operational efficiency and align with regulatory requirements.

MCP Approach to
Maintenance Plans
Strategic Asset Importance Analysis
MCP helps organisations evaluate asset importance and criticality and prioritise maintenance activities based on business impact. Our structured approach ensures that critical assets receive the necessary attention to maximise reliability and performance.
Using industry benchmarks and risk-based methodologies, we work with businesses to assess equipment criticality and define the optimal maintenance approach. This helps organisations focus their resources on assets that have the highest operational and financial impact.
Data-Driven Equipment Criticality Assessments
We apply Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to identify potential failure modes, assess their impact, and determine the best predictive and preventive maintenance strategies. Our structured approach helps businesses reduce risks and improve asset performance.
Advanced FMECA Implementation
MCP supports organisations in developing structured maintenance schedules that align with operational priorities and business objectives. Our approach ensures that planned maintenance programmes minimise downtime, extend asset lifespan, and maintain efficiency.
