Activity-Based Budgeting and Cost Management

• Legacy budget development and cost management methods are no longer adequate for the ever-increasing demands on the maintenance organization to do more and more with few resources and less money. This session introducesactivity-based budgeting and best practices cost management methodology that ensures a budget predicated on actual need and a practical means to manage that budget for optimal benefit in terms of available capacity, reduced cost and maximum useful life of capital assets.

Leadership and Management Skills for Managers andSupervisors

• Effective maintenance is dependent on an engaged workforce thatshare a common vision and strive for world-class performance. Deficiencies in people skills is perhaps the greatest weakness within the maintenance function. It is incumbent upon the maintenance manager and supervision to have and practiceeffective leadership and management skills. This session focuses on providing these skills and practical guidelines that will help them involve and motivate their workforce, deal with conflicts and other challenges.

Maintenance Planning and Scheduling

• The mission and strategy created for the maintenance organization depends on effective planning and scheduling.

Managing Industrial Plant Maintenance

Maintenance, repair and overhaul materials (MRO), excluding inventory, represents 50% or more of the total maintenance budget. This workshop builds on efficiency through control efforts.

Preventive/Predictive Maintenance

• The heart of an effective maintenance strategy is a robust, risk-based preventive maintenance program. As the name implies, the focus of preventive maintenance is to prevent failures, premature wear or damage-to prevent the need for corrective maintenance. Unlike traditional program, this session will provide a best practice approach to preventive maintenance. One that will significantly improve availability, reducecorrective maintenance, and extend useful life.

World-Class Maintenance

• Begins the journey from reactive to world-class maintenance management and provides students with an overview of the requisite attributes, methodologies, and tasks required to create, implement, and sustain effective maintenance.
