Recent competitive trends have been pushing manufacturing executives to reconsider the impact and importance of increasing equipment availability and utilization, increasing maintenance productivity and resource utilization, and increasing quality and responsiveness of maintenance services in achieving World Class Status to meet world competition. Our comprehensive "World Class Maintenance" course will show you how to initiate and sustain a process of maintenance performance improvement, a process in which maintenance is recognized as critical to the overall production strategy by which your plant provides the product to the customer at a quality he wants and a price they are willing to pay.

This comprehensive course will open your eyes to World Class Maintenance practices and show you how to initiate and sustain a process of maintenance performance improvement in today’s market. Discover how your facility measures up to world class companies by reviewing benchmark data and evaluating maintenance best practices.

You will gain an understanding of the key areas for maintenance effectiveness and efficiency such as work management systems, planning and scheduling, preventive/predictive maintenance, inventory control. Learn how to successfully engage production with key maintenance and reliability initiatives for maximum results.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Evaluate their plant's maintenance practices and develop a program to achieve "world class" maintenance performance

• Understand how their plant's maintenance practices compare with industry leaders In addition, they will be able to identify key improvement areas and understand the steps that are required to achieve the desired savings

• Understand the practices used by industry leaders to achieve successful T/As. They will learn the seven phases of T/A management and the actions necessary in each phase

• Conduct work request justification reviews, which are based on the business principle of return on maintenance investment. They will have an understanding of how to develop risk scenarios reflecting realistic consequences and probabilities that can be used to establish the needed scope and timing of maintenance work

• Understand the principles of Life Cycle Maintenance Management (LCMM). Finally, participants will have an understanding of how to develop LCMM plans for their key equipment and the application of this information to the development of maintenance budget

This course is intended for supervisors and managers who are assigned in maintenance cost, equipment, and unit reliability responsibilities. Participants should have an understanding of their plant's current performance, maintenance practices, and opportunities for improvement. Individuals responsible for T/A cost and unit performance will also benefit from this course. Participants should have an understanding of their current T/A practices.
