01. What is mid and long-term maintenance planning?

Mid and long-term maintenance planning is how organizations anticipate workloads, resource needs, and material requirements weeks, months, or years before execution. Historically this is done via spreadsheets that can’t connect to live SAP data and lack visibility into future preventive maintenance demand.

02. How does Sigga give maintenance leaders visibility beyond the current week?

Sigga pulls upcoming work orders from SAP, organized by calendar, counters, or production metrics, and projects them across a planning horizon of up to 52 weeks. Leaders can see future workload by asset, team, and time period; identify capacity gaps before they become scheduling crises; and model different scenarios to balance resource demand before commitments are made.

03. How does long-term planning reduce maintenance costs and emergency procurement?

Seeing material needs and contractor requirements weeks or months in advance enables procurement teams to secure materials at planned rates, reserve specialized equipment before availability tightens, and schedule contractor support when pricing is favorable. That kind of foresight lead to as much as 30% savings on emergency procurement costs by shifting purchasing from reactive to planned.

04. What business results can maintenance leaders expect from mid and long-term planning?

Sigga’s customers have seen 15–20% improvement in workforce productivity through strategic workload leveling, a 25% reduction in preventive maintenance backlog, up to 30% savings on emergency procurement, and 50% tighter variance between planned and actual maintenance spend.
