Maintenance Mastery - Advanced Practices

Optimal maintenance planning, KPI interpretation, failure analysis, and workplace safety.

What you'll learn
- Optimize spare parts inventory to reduce costs while ensuring reliability.
- Conduct effective post-failure analysis to identify root causes and improve system reliability.
- Understand and apply key maintenance KPIs such as MTBF, MTTR, and availability to enhance processes.
- Plan and schedule maintenance activities for maximum efficiency and minimal downtime
- Recognize workplace hazards in maintenance and apply proper protective measures.
- Implement LOTOTO systems, safety matrices, and Heinrich’s Pyramid to improve safety culture.

Requirements
- No prior experience in maintenance is required. Basic understanding of industrial operations will help, but all key concepts are explained from the ground up.

Description
This course takes you beyond the basics of maintenance management, providing practical methods and proven strategies to achieve higher efficiency, reliability, and safety.

We begin with the organization of the maintenance function — how to structure the department, define roles, manage spare parts, and apply inventory policies to minimize downtime. You will learn how to identify critical materials, improve communication, and implement continuous improvement through analytical methods.

Next, we focus on measuring maintenance performance. You will explore key performance indicators such as KPI, OEE, MTBF, MTTR, and availability, learning not only how to calculate them but also how to interpret results to make better decisions.

We then move to planning and scheduling — understanding the difference between the two, identifying work types, preparing effective job plans, and using tools like CMMS to optimize task execution. Practical concepts like “wrench time” will help you maximize the value of your maintenance workforce.

The course also covers advanced safety practices in maintenance, including the use of LOTOTO procedures, technical safeguards, organizational safety measures, and building a strong safety culture.

Based on over 17 years of professional experience, this course provides practical, proven methods to improve reliability, cut costs, and make better maintenance decisions.

Whether you are starting your career in maintenance or are an experienced technician, engineer, or manager seeking to organize and expand your knowledge, this course will equip you with the tools to improve reliability, reduce costs, and ensure safe, efficient operations.

By the end of the course, you will gain the knowledge needed to plan and organize work effectively, interpret KPIs for data-driven decisions, apply post-failure analysis for continuous improvement, and maintain the highest safety standards in your daily operations.

Who this course is for:
- Maintenance managers, planners, engineers, supervisors, and technicians who want to improve spare parts management, use maintenance KPIs effectively, create optimized schedules, and enhance workplace safety.
- This course is also ideal for those who want to start a career in maintenance and need the knowledge to understand how modern maintenance operations work.
- Technical school students, vocational high school graduates, and engineering students aiming to build their future in maintenance departments or collaborate closely with them.
