Preview Questions Maintenance Planner | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What should be the approach when estimating costs for maintenance tasks that involve contractors?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The cost of contractors should only include direct labor, ignoring other expenses

Contractors should be excluded from cost estimates since they will provide their own equipment

Contractor costs should be assumed to be the same as in-house labor rates

Estimating costs should include contractor fees, travel expenses, and time for mobilization and demobilization

Question 2: How can a Maintenance Planner optimize resource allocation to avoid bottlenecks in a chemical plant's maintenance schedule?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By over-allocating resources to ensure there is no idle time

By focusing solely on the most urgent tasks and delaying others

By minimizing the maintenance schedule to reduce resource usage

By using advanced scheduling software and forecasting resource needs based on demand and availability

Question 3: How should a Maintenance Planner handle maintenance scheduling when dealing with equipment that has high failure rates but critical functions in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By postponing scheduled tasks to accommodate more urgent operational tasks

By reducing maintenance intervals to the minimum to save on labor costs

By increasing the frequency of preventive maintenance tasks while closely monitoring equipment performance

By eliminating preventive maintenance and relying solely on corrective maintenance

Question 4: How does energy efficiency affect the development of maintenance procedures for chemical plant equipment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Energy efficiency is only relevant for production planning, not maintenance tasks

Procedures should only address energy efficiency after addressing all safety concerns

Energy efficiency is not a priority, and procedures should focus solely on equipment longevity

Maintenance procedures should include energy-saving measures and efficiency checks to reduce operational costs

Question 5: How can critical spare parts be identified in a petrochemical plant's inventory?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By only considering parts with long shelf lives

By focusing on the parts that are most commonly used in maintenance tasks

By evaluating the equipment's criticality and the part's impact on operations and safety in case of failure

By simply identifying the most expensive parts in the inventory

Question 6: How can a Maintenance Planner address the challenge of underutilized resources during periods of low maintenance activity in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By reducing the maintenance schedule to conserve resources

By reducing the number of workers assigned to the plant and relying on contractors

By cross-training workers to perform different tasks or supporting other departments during low activity periods

By ignoring the underutilization and focusing solely on scheduled work
