Maintenance Planning Excellence

Course Outline

• The course will start with a systematic and structured analysis of the main maintenance best practice planning and scheduling principles.
• Analysis of potential and functional machinery failures, hidden and evident failures, failure modes, effects, and consequences will be undertaken that play an essential role in maintenance type estimation.
• Optimal planning of preventive/predictive maintenance will be discussed in detail.
• The advanced techniques: failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) and failure mode, effect and criticality analysis (FMECA) for maintenance planning will be discussed in detail.
• The effective field-proven condition monitoring technologies (i.e. vibration, acoustic emission, infrared thermography and wear debris) that should be used for work order development will be described in detail.
• Integration of reliability-centered maintenance/risk-based maintenance with maintenance planning and scheduling will be discussed in detail.
• Finally, Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and radically novel Enterprise Resource Planning Software will be demonstrated.
