Mine Maintenance Planning provides a comprehensive view of how maintenance activities are organized, scheduled, and integrated across the entire mining value chain—from pit equipment and underground fleets to mineral processing plants. The course equips technicians with the contextual understanding needed to collaborate effectively with maintenance teams, supervisors, and operations personnel. Students learn how work orders are generated and prioritized, how preventive and predictive maintenance programs are developed, and how equipment downtime, parts availability, and labour resources influence production schedules. The course emphasizes interpreting maintenance data, understanding reliability principles, and recognizing how maintenance decisions impact safety, productivity, and overall operational efficiency. Upon completion, learners will be able to communicate effectively with trades and planning staff, contribute to maintenance scheduling discussions, and apply systems thinking to understand how well‑planned maintenance supports the continuity and performance of mining operations.
