Preventative maintenance

4 days

course code 3. 16

What is the course for

#1

Developing a preventative and improved maintenance system

#2

Reducing maintenance costs 

#3

Increasing plant availability

All companies that decide to invest in equipment of any type want to maximise its use while reducing management and maintenance costs. In particular, companies want to have the machine available when the market requires the product, and not be constrained by unforeseen interruptions.

The implementation of a preventive maintenance system reduces total maintenance costs and increases equipment efficiencies thanks to the increased equipment availability through introducing targeted inspections, replacements and repairs. All this can be achieved only through professional development for the people in the maintenance department. This training course provides the elements to design and implement such a change in the maintenance department.
