About this course

Give your maintenance management team a common understanding of what good maintenance looks like. This course will give them a logical model showing interfaces among all the elements, the best practices of each element and the benefits of doing it well.

Most maintenance engineers and supervisors end up managing maintenance activities without any formal training. This course is based on a logical model of maintenance management, covering the principles, best practices and benefits of each element, as well as the interfaces between them. The course is very interactive with lots of examples, exercises and guidelines, ending with a self-assessment and implementation roadmap.

Pragma has combined its 30 years of maintenance management experience with the accepted best practices from global standards, text books and guidelines to develop this course. If required, it can be customised to align with an organisation’s own maintenance blueprint and examples.
