This is an interactive course that relies on open discussions, team exercises, videos, case studies, and presentations within best practices and models. Participants are also given the opportunity to discuss their organization's maintenance approaches and develop maintenance plans with the trainer and other course participants.
This course targets maintenance managers, supervisors, planners, schedulers, reliability engineers, project managers and engineers, operations managers, transformation managers, operations supervisors, and individuals who are in training for these positions. The course is also designed for contractors involved in maintenance and shutdown activities for clients.
