Maintenance Success Elements
To understand our philosophy regarding maintenance training, it is essential to understand what we regard as the important elements ensuring maintenance business success, shown in the figure below.
The following seven elements should be well developed for a maintenance organisation to serve the industrial business effectively:
- A well-systemised organisation
- Proper equipment life-cycle management
- A good maintenance operational system
- The implementation of the correct level of maintenance technology
- A deep level of maintenance expertise at all operational and management levels
- Well-designed maintenance logistics
- A high level of personnel development
If all these are in place, the maintenance function will support the organisation in achieving its production and income goals.
Also visit our Qualifications Offered page for more detail regarding the seven points listed above.
We believe that Maintenance Engineering is moving towards becoming an independent engineering discipline in its own right, at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
The diploma and other courses we present are necessary stepping stones in that direction.
As part of the logical outflow from this philosophy, our Managing Director is also involved in postgraduate tuition and research at the University of Pretoria.
