Maintenance Management
Fee: Euro 1500
Maintenance management is the process of maintaining and preserving physical assets and resources like buildings and machinery to improve asset availability and reliability, maximize the efficacy of core services, and control and reduce costs. Improper planning and execution of maintenance will lead to avoidable costs, dangerous situations, and, in extreme cases, complete loss of assets.
In this course, the principles of maintenance management will be taught, including the legal framework, establishing a maintenance strategy and plan and run a maintenance programme.
