Marianne Martin, PPM and Statutory Compliance Manager at First Rail London, joins the Comparesoft Facilities Management Podcast to unpack what it really takes to build and manage a planned preventive maintenance (PPM) schedule across mission-critical sites.

With over a decade in facilities management across demanding environments, including Wembley Stadium and rail depots, Marianne is currently responsible for PPM and statutory compliance across more than 80 London Overground stations, sidings and depots. She is the central knowledge hub for PPM information in her team, and in this episode, she shares the practical details behind keeping a complex, multi-site schedule compliant and on track.

Marianne talks about:

• Why an accurate asset register is the most important element of any PPM schedule
• How to keep a planner trustworthy, and why a separate RAG register helps
• Matching maintenance frequency to how hard an asset actually works
• Building the case to replace ageing assets instead of repeatedly repairing them
• Managing split maintenance responsibilities across Network Rail and TfL
• The CAFM capabilities that matter most for running PPM at scale
