About This Training Course

This course provides training in a comprehensive suite of tools and techniques needed for Maintenance Planners to effectively perform their roles. It is designed both for those that are new to Maintenance Planning and who wish to, in a short space of time, become familiar with all of the activities that they are likely to be called upon to assist with, as well as those who are already working as Maintenance Planners who wish to build on their skills. The techniques and principles taught are sound and practical and are based on Assetivity’s extensive experience helping clients to apply these principles in a wide range of industries – spanning Mining and Mineral Processing, Oil & Gas, Utilities, Facilities Management, Defence and many others.

Starting out with an overview of Maintenance Management and how effective Maintenance Management can help to make a difference to organisational performance, the course then provides more detail regarding some specific areas where Maintenance Planners are typically involved, including:

• Planning and scheduling routine, day-to-day, week-to-week maintenance activities
• Planning and managing shutdowns and turnarounds
• Determining optimum spare parts holdings

The course is filled with practical examples and exercises that show how principles are best applied in practice, and give participants practice in applying these principles in a safe, supportive environment.

The course will be led by one of Assetivity’s senior Consultants who has demonstrated high levels of skill and experience in Maintenance Management as well as delivering adult training.
