Increased economic pressures have forced the maintainer to become more cost conscious. Further, the application of new technology and the implementation of new business practises mean that effective maintenance of plant and equipment requires ever-greater technical and managerial skill.

Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) & Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) are proven cost effective strategies for maintenance and achieve sharper maintenance policies, slimmer budgets, increased availability and a more motivated workforce. To ensure companies realise optimum maintenance they need to adopt strategies that maximise availability and safety and minimise operating cost.

These strategies can be delivered using RCM & TPM and this course will show you exactly how.

Upon successful completion of this course, the program will expose the maintenance and production personnel to understand the concept of RCM and TPM. The following advantages of RCM are ensured to the participants:

• Maintenance strategy optimization
• Extension of equipment life span
• Elimination of chronic machine problems
• Root Cause Analysis
• No preventive maintenance tasks to be performed unless it can be justified
• Recognize TPM

This course is recommended to all senior and middle maintenance, reliability, engineering and technical support staff especially including leadership and management.
