Maintenance, Reliability & Engineering Management

Preventive and Predictive Maintenance

This practical program develops capability in PM and PdM strategy, task quality, condition monitoring technologies, alarm logic, operations integration and PM optimization. It can be customized for in-house delivery around the client’s assets, maintenance maturity, systems, operating risks and performance goals.

Duration confirmed during proposalIn-house, online, or customized deliveryCorporate teams and professional groups

Objectives

  • Apply practical methods for PM and PdM strategy, task quality, condition monitoring technologies, alarm logic, operations integration and PM optimization.
  • 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.

Program outline
