Computerized maintenance painting management programs are used to inventory painted items, maintain historical coating data, optimize the scheduling of painting activities, and develop budget estimates for the work. While the sophisticated programs are quite effective, their true benefit is not realized unless someone takes ownership of the program, updates the data every few years, and uses the wealth of planning information that is available. As an alternative, this paper discusses the development of a spreadsheet to assist in managing immediate painting needs, based on some of the concepts that drive the sophisticated programs.
