Obtain a comprehensive understanding of maintenance planning.
This course provides training in a comprehensive suite of tools and techniques needed for maintenance planners to effectively perform their roles. It is designed both for those that are new or experienced in maintenance planning, and who wish to become familiar with all of the activities that they are likely to be called upon to assist with, or to build on their skills.
Starting out with an overview of maintenance management and how effective maintenance management can help to make a difference to organisational performance, the course then provides more detail regarding some specific areas where maintenance planners are typically involved, including:
- Planning and scheduling routine, day-to-day, week-to-week maintenance activities
- Planning and managing shutdowns and turnarounds
- Determining optimum spare parts holdings
The course is filled with practical examples and exercises that show how principles are best applied in practice, and give participants practice in applying these principles in a safe, supportive environment.
The course will be led by one of our Senior Consultants who have demonstrated high levels of skill and experience in maintenance management and delivering adult training.
