COURSE OVERVIEW:

A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is the engine that drives modern mechanical reliability, providing the data structure necessary for organized asset management. This course explores the strategic implementation of CMMS platforms specifically tailored to the needs of mechanical maintenance departments. Participants will learn how to move beyond basic work order entry toward a data-driven culture that prioritizes asset health and resource optimization.

The scope of this training encompasses the entire lifecycle of maintenance data, from asset hierarchy development and equipment tagging to the analysis of failure codes. We will examine how to build a robust technical database that captures essential information on pumps, compressors, and piping systems. The course emphasizes the importance of data integrity and the role of the CMMS in bridging the gap between field technicians and maintenance planners.

Coverage includes the optimization of preventive maintenance (PM) schedules, the management of technical spare parts, and the generation of actionable reports. Attendees will learn how to use CMMS metrics to identify "bad actor" equipment and justify capital expenditures for mechanical upgrades. By the end of this course, participants will be equipped to leverage their CMMS as a powerful tool for improving the mean time between failures (MTBF) and reducing the total cost of maintenance.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Define the core functions and benefits of a high-performing CMMS.
2. Develop a logical asset hierarchy based on ISO 14224 standards.
3. Create comprehensive equipment data sheets for mechanical assets.
4. Standardize work order descriptions to ensure data consistency.
5. Implement a robust failure coding system for root cause analysis.
6. Optimize preventive maintenance tasks to reduce "over-maintenance."
7. Manage the interface between the CMMS and the spare parts inventory.
8. Schedule mechanical resources effectively using CMMS planning tools.
9. Generate and interpret Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for maintenance.
10. Utilize CMMS data to identify and prioritize "bad actor" machinery.
11. Streamline the closing of work orders with detailed technical feedback.
12. Integrate condition monitoring data into the CMMS environment.
13. Audit the CMMS database to ensure long-term data quality and accuracy.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Maintenance Managers, Mechanical Planners, CMMS Administrators, Reliability Engineers, and Maintenance Supervisors.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise 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.
