INTRODUCTION
Lower revenues due to lower commodity prices have placed equipment life-cycle costs under the management spotlight like never before. Maintainers are faced with the challenge to deliver the same levels of equipment safety, reliability and availability with smaller budgets.
This Maintenance Engineering training seminar on Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices introduces the practical tools and practices that organisations need to adopt to drive down their equipment life-cycle costs in practical ways.
This Maintenance Engineering training seminar emphasizes the most effective strategies, policies, tactics and practices that are needed to ensure the reliability, integrity and durability of the physical assets through their life-cycle.
