When done well your maintenance strategies deliver the six purposes of maintenance, equipment reliability, failure avoidance, defect elimination, least operating costs, risk reduction and maximum production. Fail to do achieve one of them and your maintenance efforts will not get the big pay-offs that they should. Maintenance that does not make you more production and profit is a poor sort of maintenance. Modern maintenance focuses on maximizing operating profit by driving reliability growth at every stage of the business life-cycle. The training shows and explains how to select and use preventive, predictive and precision maintenance strategy and methods that means your operation has:

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