Overview
Built for planners who were scheduling a month of plant maintenance by hand in Excel — reading an SAP export, deciding who does what, and rebuilding the whole plan every time an outage moved.
SAP Maintenance Planner
A Windows desktop planner that turns a monthly SAP work-order export into a balanced four-week schedule across a maintenance crew.

Interactive Demo
Plan a month of maintenance in one click
The panel below runs the planner’s real scheduling logic in your browser. Review the SAP work-order backlog and the crew, then press Auto-Generate Plan. Regulatory PMs are placed first in the earliest week that still has capacity, and everything else lands with the technician carrying the lowest load. Block a week — an outage or shutdown — and watch the plan rebalance around it.

These are the fields the real importer maps out of an SAP export — Order, Short Text, Func. Loc., Cost Ctr, Work Ctr, Prio, and Work (planned hours).

Problem
Monthly planning meant manually sorting hundreds of SAP work orders, tracking which technicians were on shift, keeping regulatory PMs from slipping past their due window, and rebalancing everything by hand whenever a week was lost to a shutdown.
Solution
A .NET 8 WPF application that imports the SAP export, then auto-generates a four-week plan: regulatory PMs are placed first in the earliest week with capacity, and every other order lands with the technician and week carrying the lowest utilisation. Blocked periods, fixed and rotating shift patterns, and per-technician hours are all respected. The planner can still override any row, lock it, and export a formatted Excel workbook.

Result
A month of scheduling that used to be a manual Excel exercise becomes a generated plan the planner reviews and adjusts. Regulatory work is protected by the algorithm rather than by memory, and a lost week can be re-planned in seconds instead of rebuilt by hand.
