About the Course

Outsourcing maintenance can unlock focus and efficiency—if contracts are designed and governed well. This course provides a structured approach from make-or-buy analysis to market engagement, contract drafting, negotiation, transition, and steady-state performance management.
You’ll compare contract types and commercial models, specify measurable service levels, and build KPI dashboards and balanced scorecards that drive availability, reliability, safety, and cost outcomes. We also cover risk management, change control, and continuous improvement so partnerships remain fair, transparent, and value-creating over time.
