Optimizing Equipment & Facilities Maintenance
Course Description
Not all of the plant facilities and equipment require high reliability; economically some components can be allowed to run to failure and a reasonable level of reliability is acceptable for other components. A cost effective maintenance program should therefore address the ‘required’ reliability only. Poor maintenance programs and activities often lead to lost production and spiraling upward costs resulting from escalating equipment unreliability. Conversely, an effective maintenance program can be the target of budget cuts since the benefits of the existing expenditures occasionally go unrecognized by those outside the maintenance organization. Ideally, therefore, a good maintenance program should provide the required reliability at minimum cost. Further, the validity of the program should be continuously acknowledged by management. This course will present the ingredients of an effective, cost efficient maintenance program together with continuous improvement aspects. It will also show not only how to validate the cost of the program but will also show how to justify to management any additional funding that may be necessary.

Personnel involved in the maintenance of equipment and facilities including plant engineers, supervisors and managers; maintenance engineers, supervisors and managers; maintenance planners; property, facility managers who are responsible for ensuring that equipment and facilities operate in an economic and reliable fashion; consulting engineers; design engineers; industrial engineers; production and managers
