Maintenance
Reduce labor and resource costs, eliminate downtime, and boost productivity with our proven maintenance training programs. Empower your team with the skills and knowledge to implement Lean methods and processes that generate zero waste while ensuring customer satisfaction.
Maintenance Master Certification
Our six-part Maintenance Master Certification program provides the hands-on skills and strategies to make the switch from firefighting to true Maintenance Excellence. All 6 sessions are hosted by local manufacturing companies and address different topics focused on the critical skills and methods important to world class maintenance.
Maintenance Excellence
This three-day Maintenance Excellence workshop will demonstrate the steps and organization needed to improve asset performance through the contribution of all employees.
Fundamentals of Maintenance Management
Leading a maintenance organization requires more than technical skill. This workshop stresses hands-on exercises and teamwork in order to improve equipment effectiveness, and participants become part of a maintenance professionals’ peer group to encourage networking and the sharing of best practices.
Introduction to PM and PDM
Reliable equipment is only achievable with a proactive approach. Preventive (PM) and predictive (PdM) maintenance are the tactical activities companies must embrace in order to achieve this.
Maintenance Planning & Scheduling
A well planned maintenance job will have a positive impact on both the MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) making the maintenance organization more effective, and the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) improving the output of the equipment.
The Methodology of Troubleshooting
Are you maintaining your equipment or repairing it? Do your people change part after part until your machinery can run again? This workshop will provide you with a logical, multi-step approach to solve equipment failures quickly, efficiently and permanently using real life breakdown scenarios.
Root Cause Analysis for Maintenance
Are you fixing the root cause of your equipment failures, or just correcting symptoms, only to have the same problem come back again and again? Executing permanent corrective actions on equipment failures is the pathway from reactive to proactive maintenance and true reliability excellence.
