Maintenance, Reliability & Engineering Management
Asset Management and Lifecycle Cost Optimization
This practical program develops capability in asset management principles, ISO 55000 thinking, asset registers, lifecycle costing, risk-based investment and governance. It can be customized for in-house delivery around the client’s assets, maintenance maturity, systems, operating risks and performance goals.
Objectives
- Apply practical methods for asset management principles, ISO 55000 thinking, asset registers, lifecycle costing, risk-based investment and governance.
- Diagnose maintenance, reliability, engineering and asset performance gaps using field evidence and structured data.
- Build action plans, templates, dashboards or recommendations that transfer to the workplace.
Target audience
- Maintenance managers, reliability engineers, planners, supervisors, facilities teams, operations leaders, engineering teams and asset-intensive organizations.
- Suitable for customized in-house delivery across industrial, utilities, facilities, healthcare, infrastructure and service environments.
