Training Cycle Maintenance & Asset Management
Anyone who works as a professional in technical maintenance and/or asset management today will probably agree: it is a challenging work environment! Technical installations are becoming more and more complex and there are fewer major (replacement) investments in installations or factories. So learning maintenance and asset management on-the-job is definitely a challenge. That is why we organise the Maintenance and Asset Management course for maintenance managers and anyone starting out in a technical leadership role. Besides the important theoretical models on maintenance, reliability, maintenance management and asset management, we also bring very concrete tools and solutions that can be applied immediately in the company. In 26 modules of 4 hours each, each on Thursday afternoons. The cycle consists of 26 modules of 4 hours each, each on Thursday afternoons. Before that, there is another kick-off session (Great Asset Management Experience) for a full day. During the final session, participants present an improvement case in which they apply some of what they have learned to their company. A few months later, there is then another exam session.
