Reliability Centred Maintenance & Total Productive Maintenance
Course Description
Organisations invest huge sums of money in systems and processes to implement RCM or TPM, often with little understanding of what are the underlying philosophies of these programs. Each individual philosophy is more suited to specific industries, have different organisational requirements and obviously more or less implementation effort depending on the type and maturity of the organisation. This course gives delegates a clear understanding of the similarities and differences between these two widely recognised and respected approaches to maintenance.

Delegates are the people in the organisation who are involved in, or dependent on, the development of an effective maintenance program and the people that take overall responsibility for the integrity of the physical assets.

Delegates include:

  • Maintenance and reliability engineers
  • Maintenance supervisors,
  • Maintenance craftsmen,
  • Technicians
  • Inspectors
  • Operations supervisors,
  • Maintenance

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include;

  • Lectures
  • Workshop & Work Presentation
  • Case Studies and Practical Exercise
  • Videos and General Discussions
