Course Overview
Unplanned equipment failures are among the most disruptive and costly events in any operational environment. They drive unscheduled downtime, inflate maintenance budgets, compromise safety, and erode confidence in asset reliability. A well-designed and consistently executed Planned Preventative Maintenance program addresses this challenge at its root — by ensuring that assets are systematically inspected, serviced, and restored before deterioration leads to failure.
This training course is designed to equip maintenance professionals and operations personnel with the knowledge and practical skills to develop, implement, and manage effective PPM programs across diverse asset types and operational environments. The course is aligned with internationally recognized standards including ISO 55001: Asset Management — Management Systems, EN 13306: Maintenance — Maintenance Terminology, and ISO 9001: Quality Management Systems. Participants will learn to apply structured maintenance methodologies including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) to build PPM schedules that are technically sound, cost-effective, and aligned with organizational asset management objectives. The course combines theoretical frameworks with practical exercises to ensure participants leave with immediately applicable skills.
