Introduction:

Maintenance, Reliability and Asset Management Best Practices are critical for every successful individual and company. It is the job of the maintenance professional to optimize the maintenance effort using a structured and systematic approach. This course covers all the fundamentals of Maintenance, Reliability, and Asset Management that a suitably qualified professional would be expected to carry out during his duty starting with the first steps and building up in a staircase fashion to fully functional maintenance organization.

Individuals exposed to this training will develop new insights into international best practices. They will learn why the best companies in the world see Maintenance management as the key to delivering the right quality product at the lowest costs. Technical knowledge is key to effective control and peer respect within any maintenance organization; when this is achieved personal satisfaction follows. This course will give the delegate the required level of technical knowledge and skill to achieve personal satisfaction.

On completion of this course, the delegate will be able to critically analyze the methodologies employed within the organization and instigate improvements where required
