The effectiveness of maintenance practice has not improved significantly in many organisations in spite of the implementation of powerful computerised management systems. Measuring, comparing and improving maintenance practice underpins the success of the whole business process.

Participants attending the programme will:

Identify maintenance best practice key elements for taking action on them, starting with foundations and building up to best practice that will deliver maximum business benefits

• Evaluate practices compared to those of others
• Improve the use of information and communication tools
• Improve productivity through use of better, more timely information
• Understand how world-class organizations solve common maintenance problems
• Improve consistency and reliability of asset information
• Formulate preventive and predictive maintenance strategies
• Optimise planning and scheduling resources
• Develop a proactive maintenance regime within the organization
• Carry out failure analyses thereby avoiding repetitive failures.
• Allow tighter control of maintenance budgets by the avoidance of unplanned equipment failures in service.

Delegates should represent a wide range of personnel in the organization who are involved in, or dependent on, effective maintenance management.

These should include:

• Maintenance and Reliability Managers
• Maintenance and Reliability Supervisors
• Personnel designated as planners, or identified to become planners
• Team leaders from each Maintenance craft
• Key Operations Supervisors
• Materials Management Managers/Supervisors
• CMMS Administrator or key users
• Key Maintenance support assistants
• 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

The Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) program is the #1 leading credentialing program for certifying the knowledge, skills and abilities of maintenance and reliability professionals.

The CMRP is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which follows ISO standards for its accreditation and processes. Examining more than just textbook information, the CMRP is a thorough examination of a broader scope of expertise measured against a universal standard. It was developed to assess professionals' aptitude within the five (5) pillars of the Maintenance and Reliability Body of Knowledge: Business Management, Equipment Reliability, Manufacturing Process Reliability, Organization and Leadership, and Work Management. 

Boost your confidence and authority by adding an internationally-recognized certification after your name. Get CMRP certified today - in English or Spanish - and join the ranks of more than 3,200 CMRPs!
