Workshop Overview:

The heart of an effective maintenance strategy is a robust, risk-based preventive maintenance program. As the name implies, the focus of preventive maintenance is to prevent failures, premature wear or damage—to prevent the need for corrective maintenance. Unlike traditional programs, this session will provide a best practice approach to preventive maintenance. One that will significantly improve availability, reduce corrective maintenance and extend useful life.

Who Should Attend?

The program is aimed at current and aspiring maintenance managers, engineers, supervisors and planners, but is applicable to all who have a direct interest in or are effected by maintenance performance and its impact on the enterprise. While the program is maintenance-centric, the methods, standard processes and logic are applicable for all organizational functions. This comprehensive program is applicable to all industries and facilities, as well as for single-plant or global enterprises.

You Will Learn To:

  • Recognize the limitations of legacy or tradition preventive maintenance programs that add little or no value in terms of reliability or remaining useful life
  • Setup, implement and maintain a risk-based preventive maintenance that make optimal use of predictive technologies
  • Understand the strengths, weaknesses and most effective uses of predictive technologies
