Course Objectives

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

 
  • Understand the lifecycle of assets (equipment) and the role of maintenance in extending the asset life
  • Understand different maintenance types such as preventive and predictive maintenance, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA)
  • Demonstrate how to choose the most cost-effective maintenance strategy for each asset to reduce breakdowns, risks and costs
  • Use the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) efficiently to implement a successful maintenance management program
  • Apply asset and maintenance Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and compare with KPIs of world class international organizations
