Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Course

Introduction:

This course is intended to show a strategy for the implementation of a Computer Maintenance Management System for the participants looking for ways to evolve and computerize their management system.

The training program provides attendees with an insight into what might be the present state of the organization within their Maintenance Department. Then allow them to see what is available through implementing a Computer Maintenance Management System to reach the desired level of organization and to review the tools it will take in closing the gap.

Targeted Groups:

This course is targeted at all companies interested and using Computer Maintenance Planning and Management Systems. 

• Recommended attendees should include Maintenance Managers.
• Maintenance Supervisors, Maintenance Engineers.
• Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Engineers.
• Maintenance Team Leaders.
• Purchasing Managers.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this course, the participants will be able to:

• To give a broad understanding of maintenance and its relevant aspects
• To help understand how to select the most cost-effective maintenance strategy for each asset to control its risks and costs.
• To give a comprehensive view of the importance, objectives, and benefits of the maintenance planning and scheduling process for saving time, cost, and efficient utilization of the maintenance resources to maximize the productive time of the manpower.
• To explain the fundamentals of planning and scheduling, such as concepts, processes, tools, techniques, methodologies, roles, and responsibilities, KPIs, analysis, reporting, etc.
• To explain the important role and functions of the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) as a main Maintenance Planning and Scheduling tool 
• To explain in detail the planning, scheduling, and work management processes, including: 
• Work identification and prioritization, creating work requests/work orders, quality control of work requests and data, work packaging, scheduling regular meetings, materials and logistics preparation, work coordination, resources preparations, and effective utilization, safety aspects of work execution, proper work orders completion, backlog definition and management, maintenance performance measuring (KPIs), work orders closing, history data analysis for enhancement and closing the loop.
• To highlight the importance of Spare parts and Inventory Management 
• To give an overview of Project Management techniques as important tools for Maintenance Planning and Scheduling
• To highlight the types of KPIs (leading and lagging), main maintenance and maintenance planning KPIs, and benchmarking against relevant world-class best practices
• During the course, attendees will have the opportunity to review an “Interactive Computer Maintenance Planning and Management Systems” and bring along their laptop computers to join in a practical session.
