Description
This course is designed for staff who are involved with the maintenance system. On completion of this course, you’ll understand maintenance compliance, what maintenance controls are, and why they’re important.
This course provides clear and simple explanations for the requirements for the maintenance system, and how the planned preventive maintenance, facility management and project management systems must be controlled.
The course includes a culture scale, so that you know how to apply culture improvement plans to the maintenance function.
Maintenance is a topic that’s fundamental to the product, but it’s also one that isn’t well understood. There are clear links between the requirements of the standards and good maintenance management principles, but they’ve never been explained that way before. This course explains how compliance can be achieved, using a structure which is already understood within maintenance and asset care systems, which is planned preventive maintenance, maintenance workflow management and project management.
