TRAINING.

Overview

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• familiarize yourself with good maintenance practices
• consider elements required to improve reliability in a cost-effective manner
• appreciate how existing maintenance can be planned and managed
• understand the techniques for good and efficient maintenance planning
• recognize the need for various maintenance methodologies
• become skilled with methods for maintenance budgeting
• implement effective maintenance reporting and record keeping

Description
Maintenance programs and activities often lead to loss of production and increased costs due to decreased equipment reliability. An effective maintenance program has to be followed by adequate organization, management and budget plans. Ideally, the program should provide the required reliability at a minimum cost. The validity of the selected program should be continuously monitored and improved.

This course will present the main points of an effective, cost-efficient maintenance program together with all aspects of necessary improvement. It will be demonstrated how to efficiently organize and manage manpower, equipment, tools and spare parts. The course will include several workshops with interactive exercises to illustrate the topics presented.

Course Outline:

• Maintenance strategies and practices: Corrective, Preventive and Predictive
• Maintenance staffing: manpower selection and training
• The efficiency of Reliability Centered Maintenance: RCM
• Maintenance planning and scheduling
• Gathering maintenance information: CMMS
• Monitoring and reporting maintenance activities
• Organization and management of maintenance work
