Participants gain a clear understanding of their role in defining and implementing cost effective maintenance policies and continuous improvement actions through an organizational development process based on either the TPM or RCM philosophy.

Delegates are the people in the organization 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 support assistants
