IEM Shout Out – Overview of Maintenance Management (2 days)

February 2, 2010

This is a shout out for the IEM. My tech division, in conjunction with ILSAS will be running a course on Maintenance management. It will be held on the 9th & 10th February, at the TNB Integrated Learning Solution in Bangi.

The objective of this course is:

  • To introduce the participant to the maintenance function in the organization
  • To describe how the  maintenance function supports the organization’s objectives
  • To enlighten the participant in world-class maintenance practice criteria and benchmarks
  • To understand maintenance philosophy and its practical application in the workplace.
  • To provide techniques in developing a maintenance strategy tailored for the participant’s maintenance department
  • To develop skills in maintaining maintenance data and record analysis
  • To appreciate Asset Life Cycle Issues

I applaud organisations that treat maintenance as an integral part of asset operations, and not as a sacrificial lamb that is the first to get struck of when the going gets tough.
