OUTLINE
Increased economic pressures have forced the maintainer to become
more cost conscious. Further, the application of new technology and
the implementation of new business practises mean that effective maintenance
of plant and equipment requires ever-greater technical and managerial
skill. Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) is a proven opportunity
to capitalise on cost effective strategies for maintenance and achieve
sharper maintenance policies, slimmer budgets, increased availability
and a more motivated workforce. To ensure companies realise optimum
maintenance they need to adopt strategies that maximise availability
and safety and minimise operating cost. These strategies can be delivered
using RCM and this seminar will show you exactly how.
