Effective Maintenance Management and Reliability Practices

SMRP BOK – CMRP Certification Preparation with full Exam support

Effective Maintenance Management is the hub of a well-functioning maintenance organization. In order for maintenance to work, many other systems need to work well.

This comprehensive 5-day program is designed based on the SMRP Book of Knowledge to benefit both new and experienced professionals. The SMRP BOK is based on 5 pillars that build vertical and horizontal knowledge of the 21st-century maintenance professional.

It covers advanced best maintenance practices that a qualified professional would require to carry out his duty starting with the first steps and building up knowledge and experience to a fully functional maintenance organization.

The program is built on two parallel tracks: the first is learning applicable concepts that can benefit participants immediately after the session, and the second is providing a roadmap to pass the CMRP certification exam.

This program is designed to transfer knowledge and to be a stimulating experience. It is highly interactive with many discussions, group activities, and case studies.

This certification program (CMRP) provides a unique skill set by going beyond textbook knowledge and testing real-world experiences and abilities. SMRP values data-driven excellence, sharing/collaboration, membership focus, continuous improvement, accountability, trust and respect, integrity, and social responsibility.

By the end of the course, participants will understand and learn:

  • The 5 Pillars of SMRP BOK
  • Developing a solid knowledge of all essential Maintenance and reliability concepts and terminologies
  • Implement numerous KPIs into their work process to guide business toward its ultimate targets
  • Understand new maintenance methodologies and their application
  • Identify and plan best practices for an effective maintenance and reliability program.
  • Leading their Organization and Management into Planned Maintenance Effectiveness
  • Improve the use of information and communication tools between related parties and/or departments in Maintenance and Reliability.
  • Improve consistency and reliability of asset management
  • Utilize leadership and personal skills to achieve maintenance and reliability excellence
  • Optimize preventive and predictive maintenance strategies to maximize returns.

This course is designed for Maintenance Engineers, Supervisors, Managers, Planners, Schedulers, and Asset Management professionals. Also, we recommend it for Operation Engineers.

This course is a great preparation for the CMRP exam together with your accumulated practical experience.

Duration: 5-Days

Course takeaways:

The participants will not only get the session presentation, but also a big set of complementing documents that will help them directly on the two tracks of the session.
