Maintenance Rostering and Workforce Planning
SAS-AM provides maintenance rostering and workforce planning consulting that aligns labour capacity with maintenance demand. We help organisations optimise crew scheduling, skill allocation, and resource planning to maximise maintenance productivity and reduce overtime costs.
Optimised Maintenance Workforce for Maximum Productivity
Our workforce planning services align maintenance labour capacity with demand. We model workload profiles, optimise crew structures, and design rostering frameworks that reduce overtime, improve skill utilisation, and ensure maintenance programs are resourced to deliver.
we work hard to deliver incredible value to our clients.
Improved Maintenance Completion Rates
Our workforce planning services ensure your maintenance teams are sized, skilled, and rostered to deliver your maintenance program efficiently without excessive overtime or unfilled positions.
Reduced Overtime Costs
Optimised rostering and crew structures reduce reliance on overtime by aligning standard hours capacity with planned maintenance demand.
Improved Maintenance Completion Rates
Right-sized teams with appropriate skills ensure planned maintenance is completed on schedule, reducing deferrals and backlog accumulation.
Better Workforce Utilisation
Analytics-driven workforce planning ensures maintenance personnel are productively deployed rather than idle or overloaded.
Sustainable Work Practices
Rostering frameworks that incorporate fatigue management and work-life balance principles support workforce retention and safety.

We work across transport, defence, resources and utilities, where maintenance workforce efficiency directly affects asset availability and operating cost. The method is the same in each sector, while the constraints such as shift patterns, licences and access windows are specific to your operation.
When labour capacity by trade and shift matches the scheduled workload, planned work gets done when it is due. A mismatch shows up as backlog, deferred preventive maintenance and overtime, which is why demand matched crews and rosters are one of the most direct levers on schedule compliance.
We treat fatigue management principles and enterprise agreement conditions as hard rules in the roster design, not as preferences to trade away. Every option is tested against them before it is recommended, so the roster you receive is one your people can actually work.
The core inputs are your CMMS work order history, preventive maintenance schedules with estimated hours, current rosters and crew lists, and a skills or licence matrix. Leave, overtime and contractor records, plus your enterprise agreement conditions, let us test whether a proposed structure will work in practice.
We build a demand model in labour hours by trade, then convert it to headcount using the productive hours each person can realistically deliver. Demand comes from preventive maintenance schedules, corrective work history, project workloads and seasonal variation. Productive hours allow for leave, training, travel and other time away from the tools, plus surge capacity for breakdowns.
Maintenance workforce planning matches the size, skills and shift patterns of a maintenance workforce to the work the assets actually demand. It starts with a model of maintenance demand, moves to crew structures that can meet it, and ends with rosters that people can work safely and sustainably.
