Three options for the Maintenance Management Seminar
  • Option 1: The most basic way is to just talk on the phone (or use E-mail) and then present a standard course. The courses are tried and tested and has been used to good effect in many maintenance situations.
  • Option 2: The second and most common option involves a one day site visit before the class, which allows me to add examples from your facility and adjust the verbal presentation to more nearly suit your needs, meet some of the key players and see for myself some of the special problems you face.
  • Option 3: The third option is to conduct a maintenance survey which looks at all of the aspects of maintenance, evaluates areas where improvements are possible and a slanting of the training to the competencies needed to implement the improvements uncovered in the survey.
