KEYNOTE Speaker... Presented by Veolia Water Na Doc Palmer, Pe, MBA, CMRP Author of McGraw-Hill’s Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook
“Maintenance Planning and Scheduling: Increase Your Workforce without Hiringâ€*
Doc Palmer has over three decades of industrial experience as a practitioner primarily within the maintenance department of the Jacksonville Electric Authority, a major United States electric utility.  From 1990 through 1994, Palmer was responsible for overhauling the existing maintenance planning organization. The resulting success played a role in expanding planning to all crafts and stations owned and operated by the utility.  Publisher McGraw-Hill subsequently sought out Palmer to author the Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook published in 1999 and now in its third edition (2013). Palmer also directed the purchase and implementation of a CMMS and administered the preventive maintenance program. Additionally, he has delivered numerous well-received maintenance articles and presentations for industry. Currently Palmer provides guidance, mentoring, and training for companies internationally for maintenance planning success.
