Optimized Maintenance Management

Introduction:

The most progress-oriented industrial companies are moving away from reacting – i.e., when something breaks, and you fix it – to planning, a key aspect of advanced maintenance management systems. Such a shift requires well-coordinated and executed activities in many areas.

This course in maintenance management training provides essential knowledge and skills for participants to achieve optimal performance of equipment, structures, and systems, and improve maintenance procedures to gain maximum return on investment. Maintenance managers will master the methods for increasing asset utilization rates, decreasing costs and downtimes, and ensuring high safety and quality standards.

The course will cover the technologies and methods of modern maintenance management, presenting both the theory and practice of building effective maintenance policies.

Objectives:

Upon completion, participants of this efficient and effective maintenance management course will:

• Gain a proper appreciation of the principles governing the Asset Management framework for optimizing maintenance.
• Decide on appropriate maintenance KPIs and compose a balanced scorecard for the maintenance department.
• Assess the Asset Management capability of the organization and design a strategy for enhancement.
• Examine organizational and managerial challenges encountered in operationalizing comprehensive Risk-Based Maintenance systems.
• Appreciate Life Cycle Management with regard to Systems Engineering and RAMS in support of Life Cycle Management.
• Compute the Life Cycle Cost of a particular asset.
• Explore modern methods and ideas in Predictive Maintenance and Smart Maintenance.

Training Methodology:

• Facilitation by experts through lectures.
• Real-life situations using case studies.
• Group discussions.
• Learning by doing – workshop approach.
• Situation analysis of given scenarios.
• Experience sharing.
• Role-playing activities.
• Management by objectives.
• Problem-solving exercises.
