After completing these workshop learners will better understand:

• How physical assets and physical asset management affects the business
• The eight major losses and where they originate from
• Why maintenance has to maintain the functions and performance standards of assets
• How functions and performance standards are lost or degraded
• The risks associated with failure and degradation
• How degradation occurs in terms of normal and accelerated
• How to apply failure management policies/tactics/strategies to reduce the risk of failure and degradation
• How the defiance and neglect of optimal equipment conditions causes PM programmes to fail
• The role of the operations in the early detection of defects and deterioration
• The role of the maintainer as coach and provider of specialised maintenance services
• The importance of reporting all forms of abnormality and deterioration using a formal system
• The elements of job planning including standards, logistics, documentation, spares,  quality, etc
• How to determine scheduling capacity and exploit opportunities for maintenance
• How to develop a weekly maintenance schedule with the commitment of operations  and all role players to ensure compliance with the routine maintenance programme and the reduction of risk
• Assign work to the most appropriate level of maintenance
• The importance of maintaining the maintenance backlog at an optimum levels
• How recording structured data enables chronic failures and losses to be identified
• How to develop and implement a set of performance indicators for physical asset management
• The focused improvement process

Delegates should represent a wide range of personnel in the organization who are involved in, or dependent on, effective maintenance planning, scheduling and work control.

These should include:

• Maintenance Managers
• Maintenance Engineers and Engineers in Training
• Maintenance schedulers
• Maintenance planners
• Planning and Scheduling Support Staff
• Heads of Maintenance and Superintendants
• Senior Operations Supervisors
• CMMS Administrators and Super users
• Other stakeholders in the Work Planning Function.

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
