Maintenance Planning and Maintenance Management

Introduction

To survive in today’s world of 'lean and mean' operations, we cannot wait for breakdowns. As a matter of fact, we should make responding to breakdowns the exception in our daily workload, not the norm. A successful and effective maintenance operation has to break away from the 'fix it when it breaks' mentality. The ultimate goal of the maintenance department should be to 'stop' things from breaking, increase assets availability and reliability and do so with the lowest possible cost.

This has certainly put immense pressure on the maintenance department management team. In this course, various best practices will be presented that deliver the above objectives.

Objectives

    By the end of the program, participants will be able to:

    • Apply the latest concepts and techniques required for managing or supervising a maintenance unit.
    • Understand preventive and predictive maintenance as well as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM).
    • Apply techniques to measure equipment effectiveness and various control mechanisms.
    • Examine the organizational, human and operational considerations for effective and cost-efficient maintenance work in their company.
    • Distinguish and optimize the special characteristics of maintenance activities.

Training Methodology

The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”.
