INTRODUCTION

Maintenance planning and control involves many decisions, irrespective of whether it si a major or small program.  What to do, and when to do maintenance are complex questions with many possible solutions relying upon a wide range of information and processes.  The need is to make the most rational decision, even though it may not be optimal because you don’t have enough information.  This course focuses on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of planning and controlling maintenance programs.  Tutorial sessions are used to consolidate course material.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES 

• Apply the latest concepts and techniques needed for effectively planning, scheduling and controlling maintenance activities
• Manage routine corrective, as well as large scale preventive maintenance activities
• Review the critical operational requirements for successful planning and control of the maintenance work.
• Revise or review the analytical and logical issues for maintenance program decision-making.
