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.
