Strategic Maintenance & Asset Management Leadership
This five-day program prepares leaders to protect asset value and keep critical operations running. Participants build skills in ISO 55000 asset strategy, RCM and maintenance tactics, turnaround leadership, and lifecycle costing.
Introduction
Strategic Maintenance & Asset Management Leadership Training Course prepares leaders to protect asset value and keep critical operations running. Participants learn how to set maintenance strategy, decide where investment pays back, and lead the teams that deliver reliability. The program combines asset management standards with maintenance engineering practice and lifecycle costing. As a result, learners gain a structured way to cut downtime, control cost, and extend asset life. Furthermore, the course strengthens risk governance, contractor management, and the leadership discipline that sustains performance.
Strategic Maintenance & Asset Management Leadership Course Objectives
- Apply asset management principles and the ISO 55000 framework.
- Build asset registers, criticality rankings, and asset lifecycle plans.
- Apply reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) to prioritise maintenance tasks.
- Evaluate preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies.
- Use failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and root cause analysis (RCA).
- Apply total productive maintenance (TPM) and operator care practices.
- Plan and execute turnarounds, shutdowns, and major outages.
- Apply lifecycle costing, replacement analysis, and capital planning for assets.
- Manage maintenance KPIs including MTBF, MTTR, OEE, and backlog.
- Govern maintenance risk with risk registers, spares strategy, and contractor control.
Course Methodology
- Interactive sessions built on real maintenance and asset cases.
- Workshops on criticality ranking, RCM decision logic, and lifecycle costing.
- Group work on maintenance plans, KPI sets, and turnaround schedules.
- Hands-on practice with FMEA, RCA, and reliability data analysis.
