Maintenance Management & Technology Best Practices

Cost-effective maintenance doesn’t happen by chance – it has to be well planned, and this requires a strategy that is constantly kept up to date. Leading industrial organizations are evolving away from reactive (“fix-it-when-it-breaks”) management into predictive and productive management (“anticipating, planning, and fix-it-before-it-breaks”).

The Maintenance Management & Technology Best Practices training course is an in-depth treatment of the major factors that have to be considered in order to produce a tailored maintenance strategy and the pitfalls to be avoided. A well-proven model for developing a maintenance strategy is introduced, and examples are then presented showing how this model can be applied successfully to a variety of industries.

The training course will impart an understanding of how technology can be applied as part of a broad systematic approach to proactively managing and improving maintenance.

The important features of the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) training course are:

• Evolution of Maintenance
• Background on RCM
• Classifications of Maintenance
• RCM Process Framework

Upon attendance to the Maintenance Management & Technology Best Practices training course, participants will be able to:

• Apply basic analytical techniques which have proved valuable in solving practical maintenance problems
• Focus on critical equipment, analyzing failure data, system availability assessment
• Understand principles & techniques (object setting, organizational modeling, work measurement, etc.)
• Discriminate between modern condition monitoring techniques
• Develop a logical approach to the formulation of a Maintenance Strategy
• Optimize preventive and predictive maintenance strategies

The Maintenance Management & Technology Best Practices training course is beneficial to anyone who has an interest in ensuring high equipment reliability. The target audience includes:

• Maintenance Engineers/Supervisors
• Production Managers/Superintendents
• Design Engineers, who would like to develop a new maintenance strategy or review an existing one

The Maintenance Management & Technology Best Practices training course will be conducted as a highly interactive work session, encouraging participants to share their own experiences and apply the course material to real-life situations. To ensure the concepts introduced during the training course are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture-style presentation, open discussion, case studies, simulations and group work.

Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training.
