I planned my whole schedule today\u2014a list of tasks and plenty of time to complete them all.<\/p>

Guess how many I finished?<\/p>

Yep. Zero.<\/p>

It wasn’t because I didn\u2019t do anything. It was because my phone started ringing.<\/p>

Maintenance managers know what I\u2019m talking about. Stuff happens. Emergencies come up. And we\u2019ve all re-prioritized tasks based on who\u2019s yelling the loudest.<\/p>

But as more maintenance departments move from a reactive to a proactive maintenance strategy (thanks to CMMS software<\/a>), there\u2019s less yelling because preventive maintenance means fewer emergencies and breakdowns.<\/p>

However, prioritizing your maintenance tasks becomes even more important. You want to get the important stuff done first, of course. However, you don\u2019t want other things to slip through the cracks.<\/p>

So how do you prioritize your maintenance tasks?<\/p>
