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

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
