Certificate in Advanced Maintenance Management

About the Course

The Certificate in Advanced Maintenance Management explicitly aims to develop delegate talents in the latest technologies and organisational strategies of workplace maintenance processes. The main aim is to deliver fundamental knowledge and a comprehensive set of skills to produce professionals capable of transforming an organisation’s maintenance culture and strategy. It addresses the significant need for technicians, managers, and leaders in maintenance management who can plan the care of long-life, high-value assets for availability and maximum performance.

Current organisations are turning away from the reactive approach maintenance and implementing predictive and preventive (anticipate and fix before it breaks) as necessary steps to extend the life cycle approach of assets in Maintenance Management. This progression requires carefully planned action steps on several fronts. It will provide excellent chances to optimise the performance of all assets and maintenance activities to achieve top performance and optimal Return on Investment (ROI) by reducing waste fraud and abuse. In addition, it will reduce expenses and downtime by improving quality standards and production output.

It will provide the delegates with the techniques to develop strategy-based maintenance frameworks suitable for any industrial scenario. It is also highly relevant to professionals currently working in the industry who are keen to extend their qualifications and knowledge in maintenance management alongside individuals with other experiences who possess considerable relevant industry experience. The goal of the maintenance department is to “prevent” assets from failing prematurely and increase readiness and consistency.
