Eliminating the Tug-of-War: Integrating Maintenance into Production Scheduling in Business Central

In this episode, Ryan and Emma tackle one of the most common pain points in manufacturing—conflicts between maintenance schedules and production orders. Business Central doesn't block off machine capacity for maintenance, which means planners often schedule jobs on equipment that's supposed to be offline. They break down how treating maintenance like production—using structured maintenance orders—can solve the problem. With tools like Maintenance Manager and MxAPS, you can prevent scheduling conflicts, reduce unplanned downtime, and stop the daily tug-of-war on the shop floor. If you've ever had production grind to a halt because maintenance wasn’t visible in your schedule, this episode is for you. Website: https://MaintenanceForDynamics.com
