Direct answer
Yes. A schedule that includes work orders, shifts, capacity, dependencies, and machine state can show where maintenance creates the least disruption. It gives production and maintenance a shared view of the tradeoff instead of relying on an isolated calendar date.
Practical checkpoint
Represent the maintenance duration and resource constraints realistically, then compare the proposed window with due dates, setup sequences, labor, and recovery time.
