STAGE 01
The whole plan in a single view
Mobile, fixed plant and shutdown come together in the same Gantt view, instead of being split between the CMMS and a shadow Excel file nobody else can read.
Consolidate · Validate · Synchronize
Your planners are still in Excel, even with a CMMS
The official plan lives in the CMMS. The real plan lives in a shadow spreadsheet, on one person's computer. PlanMI is the layer that brings the two back together, for mobile equipment, fixed plant and shutdowns.
(01)The diagnosis
Equipment availability dictates site productivity
And yet scheduling still runs on scattered spreadsheets, information passed along by hand and approvals that take days. The process varies from one shop to the next, so the same mistakes keep coming back.
RESOURCE CONFLICTS
The conflict surfaces the day before the job
Two jobs on the same crew, the same shop bay or the same piece of equipment. The result: extended downtime, delayed production and a utilization rate that slips.
PLANNING ERRORS
It all lives in the planner's head
Mental load, poor visibility, disconnected systems. You end up with poorly managed units in the shops and equipment unavailable at the wrong time.
MAINTENANCE COSTS
Costs nobody saw coming
Unplanned repairs and replacements, parts availability that can't be confirmed before the job. The budget and the schedule absorb the difference.
Reality
The official plan says one thing. The shop floor lives another
(03)Everyone sees what matters to them
Three scheduling logics, three views
A mine doesn't plan a truck like a crusher, or a crusher like a major shutdown. PlanMI keeps the contexts separate instead of imposing a generic view.
The mobile equipment planner
They work by operating hours and by the window production leaves them. Their view shows the units, the shop bays and the daily utilization rate.
The fixed plant planner
Their cycle is predictable; what matters is the window. Their view shows grouped work orders, parts status and crew availability.
The superintendent in a major shutdown
Dozens of work orders, dependencies between trades, a start-up date that won't move. Their view shows the critical path and the shared resources.
(04)Use cases
Where to start
01
Mobile equipment management
The maintenance cycle follows operating hours and the window production leaves open, not a fixed date.
02
Fixed plant planning
Crushers, conveyors, mills. Every planned window should be full, with parts and crew confirmed.
03
Shutdown management
Dozens of work orders, dependencies, a start-up date that won't move.
(05)Systems it feeds
Feed the tools you already have
PlanMI doesn't replace your CMMS or your ERP. It validates the plan, then sends it back to where your teams already work.
