Maintenance Management

Certificate Program

Highly-trained maintenance managers are the key to trouble-free, productive and profitable operations.

Workshop Overview

Effective maintenance is essential for all manufacturing, production, process plants, and facilities. It is dependent upon well-trained maintenance professionals who have mastered and can apply the requisite skills, knowledge, and vision to assure that effectiveness. The Maintenance Management Certificate Program provides a comprehensive management development program for existing or aspiring maintenance management professionals, as well as others interested in effective maintenance. Consisting of six 2-day sessions, the program provides proven best-in-class processes ranging from strategy, activity-based budget, and organizational development to workforce engagement that can be directly applied in the workplace upon completion of the program. A seventh 2-day session permits specialize learnings for either industrial or facilities application. Upon completion of the 7-part program, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from the University of Alabama College, of Continuing Studies.

Workshop Outline

Session	Overview
Session 1	World-Class Maintenance Management Learn the critical attributes of a world-class maintenance Develop a maintenance strategy that is effective for their organization Establish goals, objectives, expectations and accountability for maintenance and its workforce
Session 2	Activity-Based Budget Development Understand the limitations of legacy budget development and cost control methodologies How to develop an activity-based budget that is predicated on the specific maintenance requirement of installed assets How to create a proactive budget management process with decision-points before it is spent—not after
Session 3	Leadership and Management Skills How to develop a strategic, e.g. long-range, plan that ensures effective support of current and future enterprise business plans How to manage for the future instead of continued day-to-day reaction to events How to effectively use Gemba, to keep touch with internal functions and employees
Session 4	Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Learn best practices associate with maintenance planning and scheduling Understand the attributes and contents of a properly planned maintenance activity Understand the absolute need to plan and schedule for the future, not today
Session 5	Preventive/Predictive Maintenance Understand the limitations of legacy or tradition preventive maintenance programs that add little or no value in terms of reliability or remaining useful life How to setup, implement and maintain a risk-based preventive maintenance that make optimal use of predictive technologies Understand the strengths, weaknesses and most effective use of predictive technologies
Session 6	MRO Procurement and Inventory Management Understand best practices associated with procurement, handling, stocking, distribution and management of MRO materials Understand best practices for Storeroom layout, include materials handling, staffing, and supervision Understand the importance of proper kitting and delivery of repair parts as part of the work order system
Session 7	Electives in Factory Maintenance and Building Maintenance Session 7 permits the participants to evaluate application of the processes and techniques learned in the proceeding session for their specific need. Each participant can choose to attend a final 2-day workshop that is tailored to either manufacturing/process plants or facilities.
Session 7a	Managing Industrial Plant Maintenance This session build upon the knowledge gain in sessions 1 – 6 and provides practical guidelines to implement and maintain a viable maintenance program that can achieve and sustain world-class performance.
Session 7b	Managing Facilities Maintenance The processes, and tools provided in sessions 1 – 6 are directly applicable to facilities, but must be tailored to the unique requirements of facilities assets and equipment, as well as the tenant-driven demands that govern operations and maintenance. This optional session, attended in lieu of session 7a, provide concise, best practices guidelines for application of the processes, tools and knowledge provided by this certificate course.
