COURSE OVERVIEW

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.
