Total Plant Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
The maintenance process has moved forward enormously in recent years, it is often difficult for maintainers and managers to keep abreast of the latest thinking and techniques. This course bridges that gap and presents recent, but proven, developments in a practical way enabling delegates to transform maintenance from a cost item to a profit center. There is a growing realization that maintenance management actually means managing risk.
