COURSE OVERVIEW:

A well-structured Preventive Maintenance (PM) program is the cornerstone of any reliability strategy, yet many organizations struggle with "PM over maintenance" or ineffective task selection. This course focuses on the systematic creation, deployment, and optimization of PM programs within a CMMS environment. It teaches participants how to move away from generic manufacturer recommendations toward a site specific strategy that addresses actual failure modes and operational requirements.

The scope of this training involves the technical development of PM Task Lists, Job Plans, and frequency cycles. Participants will learn how to use the CMMS to automate the scheduling of inspections, lubrications, and component replacements. The course emphasizes the importance of data-driven optimization, showing how to use failure history and "PM finding" data to extend intervals or eliminate low value tasks, thereby freeing up labor for more critical activities.

Coverage includes the integration of predictive maintenance (PdM) tasks into the preventive schedule and the use of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to justify PM interventions. Attendees will learn how to balance the PM workload to avoid "peaks and valleys" in manpower demand. By the end of this course, participants will be able to build a leaner, more effective PM program that maximizes equipment uptime while minimizing the total cost of maintenance.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Design a comprehensive PM program from the ground up within a CMMS.
• Write detailed and standardized PM Job Plans for various asset types.
• Determine optimal PM frequencies based on risk and failure patterns.
• Utilize "PM Finding" data to measure the effectiveness of current tasks.
• Apply PM Optimization (PMO) techniques to eliminate non-value-added work.
• Balance the PM workload across the year using leveling techniques.
• Integrate statutory and regulatory inspections into the PM schedule.
• Link parts, tools, and labor requirements to every PM work order.
• Transition from time-based to usage-based (metered) PM triggers.
• Evaluate the "PM Compliance" metric and its impact on reliability.
• Conduct a PM/PdM overlap analysis to streamline maintenance efforts.
• Use the CMMS to generate automated PM forecasts and budget estimates.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for Maintenance Engineers, PM Coordinators, Reliability Engineers, CMMS Administrators, Maintenance Supervisors, and Planning/Scheduling professionals.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
