PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND

This program provides an overview of a number of Modern Maintenance Technologies associated with equipment, systems, people and management. It describes both the background to each technology, and its practical application to achieve the best bottom-line results. It also provides all the delegates great opportunities to optimize the performance of their systems and equipment to achieve maximum return on investment (ROI) by reducing costs and downtime, while achieving high levels of safety and quality.

This program introduces participants to the skills and knowledge areas of essential maintenance technologies and methodologies of today, such as: Asset Management, Cost/benefit thinking, Understanding risk and an introduction to a Risk Based Maintenance approach, Decision support tools to make maintenance more effective, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), audits, maintenance assessments and benchmarking as a means to improve the maintenance management process.

PROGRAM'S OBJECTIVES

This Program’s Attendees Will Be More Able To:

›       Apply the appropriate modern maintenance technologies

›       Achieve the best results in practicing these technologies

›       Develop an action plan to utilize these technologies in their own areas of responsibility, fitting them into the overall maintenance strategy, and measuring benefits

›       Gain understanding and practical insight of asset management and modern technologies and methodologies

›       Improve level of personal knowledge

›       Work more effectively by applying a risk based approach

›       Be able to plan and develop their careers

›       Understand modern maintenance technologies and methodologies

›       Learn fast how other companies are using modern methodologies to improve their maintenance performance

›       Gain insight in common pitfalls and key success factors
