Course overview

Maintenance functions frequently suffer from chronic underfunding and reactive operational pressure across industrial facilities. When plant leadership treats maintenance purely as an unavoidable operating expense, machinery degrades prematurely, schedules slip and production costs escalate. Moving beyond reactive repairs requires adopting structured engineering models that align maintenance activities directly with corporate business objectives. By conducting systematic criticality assessments across plant equipment registers and deploying targeted defect elimination workflows, cross-functional maintenance units can eliminate recurring mechanical failures before unplanned shutdowns interrupt scheduled manufacturing commitments. By linking asset condition tracking with commercial performance goals, engineering teams protect operational uptime while controlling maintenance expenditures across multi-year asset cycles.

Delegates examine practical diagnostic tools to uncover the root causes of equipment degradation and machinery failures. Course modules address Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), Weibull distribution modelling and Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). Engineers study methods for streamlining CMMS workflows, managing engineering stores and evaluating digital twin technologies against operational asset requirements.

The final module covers turnarounds. High-performing industrial plants rely on cross-functional collaboration between maintenance, operations and project teams. The syllabus explores culture change, workforce leadership and On Time In Full (OTIF) work execution standards. Delegates study the governance rules required to de-risk plant turnarounds and major outages, converting complex overhaul periods into predictable operational interventions that support corporate profitability.

Course objectives

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

  1. Apply structured models of maintenance excellence to improve plant reliability and operational workflows
  2. Formulate reliability improvement initiatives using data-driven failure analysis techniques
  3. Delineate reactive, preventive, predictive and proactive maintenance regimes to match equipment failure characteristics
  4. Reposition maintenance from a reactive repair unit into a strategic driver of organisational performance
  5. Deploy rigorous planning and governance principles to execute plant outages and capital turnarounds safely and efficiently

Target competencies

  • Problem solving
  • Cost analysis
  • Workflow management
  • People management
  • Leadership
