About the Course

Strategic maintenance planning is the connective tissue between business goals and day-to-day execution. This course shows how to translate corporate objectives into coherent maintenance strategies, policies, and processes that minimize total lifecycle cost while maximizing asset availability, safety, and product quality.
You will benchmark against world-class standards, design KPI frameworks (including OEE), and implement modern approaches like RCM and TPM. Practical guidance on CMMS/EAM data structures, work management, and performance reporting equips you to turn information into decisions.
An additional module on Strategic Maintenance Management explores certification pathways and how to build a forward-looking maintenance plan that integrates organization, technology, and vendor ecosystems for sustained improvement.

Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

- Explain maintenance’s strategic role in achieving business objectives and profitability.
- Build an enterprise-aligned maintenance strategy and policy framework.
- Define roles, processes, and procedures that drive organizational effectiveness.
- Design KPI trees and dashboards (incl. OEE) to measure technical and managerial performance.
- Improve equipment performance and asset longevity via risk-based planning.
- Apply RCM/TPM to reduce failures and optimize preventive/predictive programs.
- Leverage CMMS/EAM for planning, scheduling, backlog, and cost control.
- Use lifecycle costing to balance CAPEX/OPEX and inform replace/repair decisions.
- Develop a certification-ready action plan for strategic maintenance management.
