Optimise industrial maintenance: engineering and methods
Equipment downtime and maintenance costs affect your production. Maintenance managers, engineers and plant directors can establish priorities through structured analysis of costs and failures. Use diagnostic methods, computerised maintenance management and TPM to guide interventions and support the reliability of your industrial assets.

Presentation
Choosing the right industrial maintenance methodologies and tools is a vital performance driver for the technical operations of a modern business. Whatever policies are adopted, maintenance managers and technicians responsible for industrial machinery and production facilities must develop their expertise, understand technical data, assess reliability and control maintenance costs.
This industrial maintenance methods course is led by our trainer, a heavy-industry expert with more than 25 years of experience. It draws on the best available practices and tools for each type of maintenance, helping participants understand the challenges and the maintenance strategy in relation to their organisation's values and objectives.
Throughout this 4-day programme, each participant receives the tools and insights needed to develop the methodology used by high-performing large companies. You can also bring your own operational challenges to receive precise, tailored answers to your questions.
Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- understand industrial maintenance and the activities it covers;
- define the principal maintenance concepts;
- calculate and manage maintenance costs effectively;
- identify and use maintenance diagnostic and software tools (FMECA, computer-aided maintenance and CMMS);
- understand the Total Productive Management (TPM) method and apply it within your organisation.
