Industrial Maintenance – Fundamentals and Management – #49
Context
In an increasingly demanding industrial environment, characterized by the pursuit of performance, equipment availability, and cost control, industrial maintenance plays a strategic role at the heart of production processes. It is no longer limited to simple breakdown repairs but is now part of a comprehensive approach aimed at improving equipment reliability, optimizing resources, and preventing risks.
Faced with the growing complexity of equipment, system automation, and higher requirements in terms of safety, quality, and service continuity, maintenance professionals must develop technical, organizational, and analytical skills enabling them to:
- Anticipate failures and effectively manage maintenance activities;
- Reduce breakdowns and unplanned downtime;
- Improve equipment availability and reliability;
- Better control maintenance and energy consumption costs;
- Strengthen the safety culture.
Objectives
At the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the strategic, technical, and economic challenges of industrial maintenance.
- Identify and differentiate the various types of maintenance.
- Organize and plan maintenance activities while integrating safety, quality, and performance requirements.
- Use diagnostic and reliability methods to analyze equipment failures and improve availability.
- Build or optimize a preventive maintenance plan adapted to equipment and industrial constraints.
- Manage spare parts inventories and supervise relationships with service providers to optimize costs and lead times.
- Monitor and evaluate maintenance performance using key indicators, feedback, and continuous improvement action plans.
Recommanded for
- Maintenance technicians and operators
- Maintenance supervisors and team leaders
- Production technicians performing first-level maintenance (TPM)
- New maintenance managers or coordinators
Specific operating conditions for remote sessions
- Have a PC equipped with a microphone, webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: background images are available on Zoom or Teams to hide the background.
- Have a good internet connection, which should be tested before the session.
- Sit in a quiet, isolated place; set your status to “unavailable” on Teams; close your email access and mute your phone so that you are not disturbed during the session.
- Participants from the same organisation should not be grouped together in the same room, but should each be at their own desk to avoid side conversations during the session. Virtual sub-groups will be created specifically for the exercises, which will also allow for mixed groups to be formed.
- Remote qualification/certification examinations must be taken with the webcam and microphone turned on. We may need to verify that you are alone in the room.
- Please log in 5 minutes before the start of the session.
