Course overview

Because unmanaged machinery breakdowns generate unpredictable downtime, inflate emergency overtime rates and shorten the useful service life of complex plant machinery, operating facilities suffer substantial financial waste unless engineering leaders transition to disciplined preventive routines. Studies show facilities adopting planned maintenance routines reduce operational expenditure by 12% to 18%. Preventive regimes stabilise operating budgets across manufacturing facilities.

Over fifteen modules, this five-day course delivers a technical grounding in proactive maintenance disciplines. Delegates examine ISO 55000 (ISO55000) asset management definitions, asset registers and computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) set-up. They explore work order workflows, spare parts management, Bills of Material (BOMs) and look-ahead planning across 30, 60 and 90-day scheduling horizons.

Later units focus on analytical failure prevention and performance reporting. Delegates evaluate component replacement curves with Weibull parameters, track Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Sessions conclude with Apollo Root Cause Analysis (RCA), 5 Why process mapping and Management of Change (MOC) procedures.
