Maximise asset lifetime—build proactive maintenance systems that deliver reliability and value.
This practical 5-day programme empowers maintenance and engineering professionals to move from reactive fire-fighting to structured, efficient work management. Through interactive sessions, real-world exercises, and tools like KPIs, CMMS, and strategic planning, you’ll leave ready to implement reliable work planning, scheduling, and asset excellence in your organisation.
Why this course is important
Stop wasted time and money: Shifting from breakdowns to planned and preventive maintenance reduces disruption and lowers costs.
Boost asset reliability: Understanding equipment failure patterns and measuring performance creates confidence and operational resilience.
Build a robust maintenance function: Clear roles, processes, and data-driven tools embed continual improvement and organisational stability.
Who should attend
Maintenance and reliability engineers, planners, and supervisors
Operations and production managers responsible for equipment uptime
Asset management and HSE professionals focused on risk and compliance
Managers and analysts implementing CMMS, performance KPIs, or organisational change
What you will learn
Over five immersive days, you will:
Set solid foundations – Grasp maintenance goals, asset lifecycle management, failure patterns, and maintenance strategies
Measure & manage performance – Use PDCA cycles and balanced scorecards to track uptime, MTBF, MTTR, wrench time, and other KPIs
Establish work management routines – Learn the full work order lifecycle: approval, planning, scheduling, execution, and feedback
Plan and schedule effectively – Create preventive and predictive maintenance programmes, plan tasks, prepare work packs, and prioritise jobs
Coordinate teams & contractors – Define roles, manage resource allocation, and oversee supplier and contractor operations
Manage materials & spare parts – Apply ABC categorisation, EOQ, and spare parts optimisation within MRO systems
Use CMMS tools smartly – Capture equipment data, historical records, and key documentation to support decision-making
Strategise and budget – Develop maintenance roadmaps, forecast budgets, perform gap analysis, and link to reliability initiatives
What participants say
Mohamed, Maintenance Planner – Petrochemical
(5/5)
“I learned to structure the full work cycle from planning to feedback and found the KPI and wrench time modules incredibly useful. I enjoyed the group case exercises, and I plan to implement weekly planning meetings and clear handover routines at our plant.”
Kris, Reliability Engineer – Utilities
(5/5)
“Understanding failure curves and how they impact maintenance tactics was eye-opening. I found the CMMS and spare parts strategies very useful, and I enjoyed developing the maintenance scorecard. I’ll use these tools to reduce downtime and improve planning accuracy.”
Doug, Operations Manager – Healthcare Facilities
(5/5)
“The preventive maintenance frameworks and material optimisation techniques transformed my approach. I found the strategic roadmapping examples very valuable, and I enjoyed the interactive sessions. I’ll now integrate these routines into our annual maintenance strategy.”
