P3 Planning technique used to schedule maintenance.
Gantt chart
When companies plan computer maintenance and other projects they use a Gantt chart this
ensures they can plan tasks effectively to get them done on time and correctly this type of
chart would be used in computer maintenance for planning routine tasks such as data back-
ups, virus definition updates, windows system updates, disk clean ups also routine cleaning
of equipment like removing dust build ups from inside the machine to ensure the systems
remain running at their optimum performance and not overheating.
Non-routine tasks would not need to be included in this chart as these tasks need to be
done as and when they are required such as a hard drive failing that needs to be replaced or
a graphics card failing these tasks are not something that needs to be done every day or
every month these instances cannot be planned for.
