Achieving Maintenance Excellence

Introduction:

Industries worldwide are shifting from reactive maintenance ("fix-it-when-it-breaks") to predictive and preventive maintenance ("anticipate and fix-before-it-breaks") as part of a comprehensive Asset Management approach. This transition towards Maintenance Excellence involves structured and multi-dimensional actions. Despite the critical role of effective maintenance planning in asset management, many organizations still struggle with its implementation and realization of benefits.

Maintenance Excellence offers opportunities to enhance asset performance and maintenance processes, maximizing Return on Investment (ROI) while adhering to safety and quality standards. Organizations must understand the regulations and strategies for maintenance planning to optimize asset value.

The Achieving Maintenance Excellence course equips participants with the skills to implement Maintenance Management Philosophy, combining theoretical knowledge with practical cases to achieve optimal results and increased profitability.

Objectives:

At the end of the Achieving Maintenance Excellence course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles of Asset Management focused on optimizing maintenance.
• Design and standardize maintenance KPIs and management scorecards for performance.
• Evaluate organizational Asset Management maturity and develop an improvement roadmap.
• Recognize the relationship between risk and adopting Risk-Based Maintenance concepts.
• Explain how systems engineering and RAMS support life cycle management.
• Assess the Life Cycle Costs of assets.
• Apply new principles and practices in Predictive and Smart Maintenance.
• Set up and manage master data for asset maintenance.
• Develop and implement programmed maintenance schedules.
• Create task structures that meet safety, quality, and efficiency goals.
• Procure items for backlog work and develop work schedules with stakeholders.
• Produce performance reports highlighting areas of concern.
