Training Overview

Training Overview

The Coventry Academy training course on maintenance management is designed to comprehensively address the critical role and impact of maintenance systems and technology in industrial plant integrity. Participants will delve into reliability engineering, asset management analysis, and best practices in maintenance management through a structured approach. The course emphasizes practical skills in managing both planned and existing assets, utilizing data-driven insights to prevent failures proactively. By the end of the training, attendees will be equipped with essential knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to optimize maintenance strategies and ensure operational efficiency and reliability in industrial settings.

Modules

This training course is split into two modules:

Module I - Maintenance Management Best Practices

Module II - Maintenance, Reliability and Asset Management Technology Best Practices

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.

What are the goals?

By attending this Coventry Academy training course delegates will be able to make a substantial, positive impact on the Maintenance Management best practices within their organization, more specifically:

  • Use Practical Steps and Processes to Manage the Maintenance Function
  • Identify Safety and Integrity Issues
  • Control Multiple Risks Using Limited Strategies
  • Learn from Previous Major Failures in Different Industries
  • Evaluate Maintenance Management During the Life Cycle of an Asset

Who is this Training Course for?

This Coventry Academy training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals who are involved in any aspect of Maintenance Management and who want to understand, implement and improve the latest Maintenance Management concepts, processes and ideas. For example:

  • Maintenance Managers
  • Maintenance & Reliability Engineers
  • Asset Managers
  • Operations Managers
  • Technical Managers & Supervisors
  • Board Level Executives and Non-Executives
  • Consultants in Project, Asset, Maintenance and Risk Management
  • Maintenance Supervisors and Superintendents
  • Reliability Engineers
  • Safety and Integrity Professionals
