Maintenance Essentials - Bob Lees, Jeff Shiver, Tom Murphy & Chris Greene

Course Description

There are five primary goals that most organizations seek from the Maintenance function. They are reliability, lower costs, safety, environmental integrity, and quality. When the equipment malfunctions or fails, the fingers generally are pointed toward maintenance. However, the reality is maintenance owns a small portion of the asset reliability with other site functions owning their share. As we automate more and more, achieving goals becomes more dependent on the condition of your physical assets. To minimize risk, it becomes critical to ensure that we do only the right maintenance, at the right time, in the right way.

Course Goals

• Understand the difference between inherent and operation reliability
• Understand hidden failures
• Understand the “big picture” approach to defining maintenance strategies and continuous improvement
• Leveraging standardized work to prevent defect introduction
