The British Academy for Training and Development emphasizes the importance of maintenance planning for operational success. A world-class organization relies heavily on an effective maintenance strategy aligned with business objectives. This strategy should not be seen in isolation but as part of a comprehensive approach to high-performance operations. Maintenance significantly affects profitability by influencing equipment capacity, product quality, safety, health, environmental standards, and production costs. It is crucial that the maintenance strategy incorporates the best techniques, procedures, and practices relevant to the organization's goals. The strategy should clearly outline the processes needed for optimal maintenance management while minimizing total lifecycle costs of new assets and current operating costs of existing ones. This course offers an integrated overview of the technical, administrative, and economic aspects of maintenance and repair throughout all project stages. Its aim is to enhance maintenance efficiency, improve economic outcomes, identify various scientific maintenance strategies, and explore the economic benefits of a systems approach to boost operational efficiency and control costs. Ultimately, it seeks to ensure high product quality, eliminate defects in manufacturing and maintenance, keep equipment in excellent condition, and prevent errors.
