Who Should Attend: Plant Managers, Plant Engineers, Maintenance Managers, Operations Managers, Maintenance Supervisors and Planner/Schedulers.
Overview: The simplest maintenance strategy is to execute run to failure maintenance (also known as "run to fail"). In this strategy, assets are deliberately allowed to operate until they break down, at which point reactive maintenance is preformed.
Learning Objectives:
- At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to build a tactical action plan to address unplanned downtime and understand what leads to reactive maintenance and tactical strategies for getting out of run to fail.
- Employers should expect that attendees will learn actionable techniques that when properly executed will reduce waste and downtime from a reactive maintenance culture
