What you take away,
-
Where capacity is really lost
You’ll see why plans keep changing — and why adding people or planning more tightly doesn’t solve the problem. We’ll show you where the losses occur and how to identify them.
-
How to bring maintenance and planning together
You’ll learn how organisations combine data on assets, maintenance and capacity into one predictable plan — and what that requires.
-
What this delivers in practice
Using the Fokker case study, we’ll show you the difference between reacting and taking control. Concrete results, concrete approach.
What it's about,
This webinar offers a practical breakdown of how organisations such as Fokker Services Group made their planning predictable and what they gained from it.

Opening
How much of your downtime is still unexpected today? We’ll start with a familiar picture of where most operations teams stand.
Why the usual solutions don’t work
Tighter planning, more meetings, extra capacity — why these don’t solve the problem and what’s happening beneath the surface.
How Fokker Services approached it
The case study: from manual planning to a predictable operation. What changed, how quickly and what it delivered.
The 3 steps to predictability
A practical framework you can apply directly to your situation. Not theory, but based on what works in practice.

Frequently asked questions,
Brief answers to the most frequently asked questions about a custom-built planning tool.
No. We work with the data and systems you already have. We add intelligence to them — not a replacement, but a layer on top.
That’s the case for most organisations. We start by analysing what’s available and build from there. You don’t need perfect data to get started.
Within a few weeks, you can already see where capacity is being lost. The first version of the planning tool is typically live within a few months.
If downtime directly costs your organisation money and planning involves a lot of manual work, there’s a good chance it is. We’ll assess that together in an initial conversation - with no obligation.
Yes. Fokker Services Group is one example, but we work with organisations in transport, infrastructure, manufacturing and fleet management. These challenges cut across sectors.
