This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
The Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) program is the #1 leading credentialing program for certifying the knowledge, skills and abilities of maintenance and reliability professionals. The CMRP program is certified by the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (SMRP).
Examining more than just textbook information, the CMRP is a thorough examination of a broader scope of expertise measured against a universal standard. It was developed to assess professionals' aptitude within the five (5) pillars of the Maintenance and Reliability Body of Knowledge: Business Management, Equipment Reliability, Manufacturing Process Reliability, Organization and Leadership, and Work Management.
Every organization has a process for handling and documenting maintenance issues. Some are as simple and informal as the user calls maintenance to come fix something. Others use high powered computerized maintenance management software (CMMS).
Some organizations use formal planning and scheduling while others have the maintenance personnel plan and schedule their own work. Experience has shown that more informal and less planned and scheduled work is highly inefficient. On the other hand, too much planning, scheduling and documentation can also inefficiently use maintenance resources. The aim is to find the right balance of planning, scheduling and documentation to maximize the use of maintenance resources. In addition, one of the biggest challenges to adopting new processes is gaining acceptance at all levels in the organization. Management of change techniques is essential to a successful program.
This interactive course is designed to provide the participants with the information needed to understand their own maintenance management process as well as make improvements to their processes, so they can more effectively and efficiently use their maintenance resources. The participants will understand basic process development, planning and scheduling concepts and have the tools they need to work within their organization to improve the way they manage maintenance work.
The course includes an e-book entitled "Maintenance and Reliability Certification Exam Guide", published by Industrial Press, Inc., which will be given to the participants to help them appreciate the principles presented in the course.
This course shall provide adequate knowledge and skill for the participants to develop a strategy for outstanding maintenance and reliability performance, tools to improve reliability at equipment level and an insight to the latest practices in planning, scheduling and control. This course shall provide maintenance and an in-depth overview of the five pillars of the SMRP Body of Knowledge, along with the award-winning UK Model of Excellence for Maintenance.
