Course description
As a maintenance manager, you will often need to obtain a professional overview of your task, even though you may have been practising in your area for some time. This course introduces the basic concepts of maintenance management in order to make you aware of the science and discipline behind the function of the maintenance manager. The main focus is on the principles of maintenance management and the course assumes no formal training in this area. It also serves as a useful refresher to introduce practising maintenance managers to the concepts underpinning your task.
