Course description

This course shows how to design and optimize preventive and predictive maintenance programs that align with failure behavior and risk. Participants learn how to select the right mix of time‑based and condition‑based tasks to reduce unplanned downtime and extend equipment life.

Practical examples illustrate sampling and inspection methods, condition monitoring technologies, and data‑driven decisions that refine intervals and tactics. The program emphasizes cost‑risk tradeoffs and measurable results.

Audience

Designed for:

  • Reliability and maintenance engineers
  • Maintenance supervisors and planners
  • Operations personnel responsible for asset care

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of maintenance strategies and asset failure mechanisms is recommended.
