"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle"
course contents and main topics
What is "Maintenance" - definitions and classification of Maintenance operations
The impact of the TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) discipline in the Maintenance domain (more »)
"Traditional" TPM goals - today's TPM goals
The 6 Big Equipment Losses
Measuring OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) under the TPM angle of view
Equipment Ranking
Specific TPM tools: SOCO (5S - (more »)) and Workplace Management - Establishment of Equipment Optimal Conditions - the PM Analysis - tools to fight equipment Minor Stoppages - tools to fight equipment Reduced Speed - tools to fight inadequate output Quality - tools to fight Start-up Yield Losses - tools to fight "accelerated" deterioration and for prevention of breakdowns
The difference between traditional equipment overhaul/refurbishing and TPM Equipment Restoration
TPM as "integration" system between all organisational areas that deal with plant and machinery
TPM Autonomous Maintenance: the heart of TPM
TPM programs for the Maintenance and for the Production/Plant Operation Departments
Maintainability Improvement and Maintenance Prevention: new horizons under the TPM Plant Management philosophy.
Standardisation and Equipment Maintenance Standards
ALL Maintenance Works are Project Works! As such, they must be planned and managed accordingly!
"Traditional" Project Management (more ») and Project Planning: overview of basics concepts and core principles.
Planning, Scheduling, Controlling Projects: the "traditional" approach - basic reasons for Planning - the traditional PBS (Project Breakdown Structure) - PERT and CPM: basics - the Project Program - Gantt (Bar) Diagram - the Earned Value method - Project Risk Management.
Analysis of the weaknesses and failures in traditional Planning: why so many projects are completed late, with cost overruns and dissatisfaction? why "project performance" is often poor? The root causes of poor performance date back to over 2 centuries ago. We have gone into the 21st century, with enterprises designed in the 18th and 19th centuries to perform well in the 20th... Is our Industrial DNA still polluted by those obsolete principles that gave birth to the first Industrial Revolution? Case studies.
Today's key to World-Class Performance in all Industrial Sectors: Lean Thinking - basic core principles (more »).
Deploying Lean Thinking principles in the Maintenance domain, in the Project world and in the Planning area. Targets: elimination of waste - establishment of flow.
What is a Lean Project (more ») and Lean Maintenance Project Management. Where does waste hide in traditional projects - where does waste hide in maintenance works and how to identify the main items of waste: idling, walking, talking, moving, excessive handling, double-handling, searching, un-necessary work steps, making errors and mistakes, fixing errors an mistakes, misunderstandings, trial-and-error approaches, overlooking, inadequate or excessive or un-necessary supervision/control, waste in paperwork, waste of materials, etc. - how to reduce waste drastically - why maintenance works don't flow.
The starting points: how should maintenance project's processes be planned for subsequent, lean implementation - how to conceive and visualise flow working processes
Team Exercising: traditional planning vs. lean planning - see the differences
Analysis: why do we plan "by impulse"? Why don't we have enough time to plan "lean"? Is it really a matter of time or rather of "style of thinking"? Why do we miss the "crucial" points and overlook that "something really important"? Why do we discover "unforeseen/s" and "surprises" during works executions?
The role of Creativity in planning - the relationship between Creative Thinking and Lean Thinking - the difference between traditional "automated", reactive thinking and "lean", proactive and projective thinking.
Lean Planning operationally. The concept of the Last Planner: how to eliminate all waste in Project and Maintenance works. How to make maintenance work flow, work-package after work-package - how to conceive "realistic assignments" - how to plan them - how to assure a high PPC (Percent Plan Complete) - how to improve the PPC even further by using the 5Why technique.
The "lean" approach to Preventive/Scheduled Maintenance works: why Maintenance Personnel should be Last Planners.
The "lean" approach to large-scale and Shut-down Maintenance operations - the Concurrent Engineering approach - Lean Risk Management, or deploying Risk reduction techniques to assure regular work-flow and respect of the time parameter: FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) (more ») - FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) - Markov Chain - and others.
The "lean" approach to management of external maintenance sub-contractors integrating them in the works' flow.
About Maintenance Planning Software: is it really beneficial? Under what conditions? Open debate.
Lean Plant & Assets Management. What has to be changed in the traditional approach: the focus must be on "process flow" and not in individual "efficiency" - case studies. The "super-star-galactica" cul-de-sac in Plant Selection and Management. Methods first, then Technology - or how to maximise value added for equipment life.
Lean Planning, Lean Maintenance, Lean Plant Management and People. A new breed of people is required in the modern maintenance world - the "multi-skill" and "multi-function" factors - the "empowerment" factor - self-planning - self-control. Should everybody be a "last planner"?

course objectives
Dear Delegate(s),
Maintenance. It has been officially invented and structured as a plant management discipline over 60 years ago. Technically, it has gone through many and major changes: maintenance techniques have been improved, modified, widened and new maintenance techniques have been discovered over the last 2 decades. Organisationally, however, maintenance has only somewhat changed with the advent of Nakajima's TPM - Total Productive Maintenance. Today, maintenance is changing again.
Today, we discover that "maintenance" does not always deliver what it promises: plant, machinery and equipment operating efficiently and effectively along their entire lifecycle and at the least possible total cost.
The signals are clear and well known: major breakdowns still materialise in spite of excellent preventive maintenance and even autonomous maintenance practices - minor breakdowns, minor stoppages, idling, reduced-capacity operation, quality defectiveness and other malfunctions are still present in the majority of factories and plants world-wide in spite of efforts and investments to reduce them considerably - maintenance costs are still too high for the level of competitiveness required nowadays - waste (of maintenance manpower, of materials, of operation time) is at un-acceptable levels - large maintenance works and yearly shut-down projects are seldom completed in time and within budget - outage maintenance often becomes panic management.
There is a common denominator to all signals above: inadequate project management and inadequate planning - that is, inadequate thinking. Most maintenance works - even routine, scheduled maintenance activities - ARE project works by their own nature and as such should be handled. However, project management practices are only dedicated (when it so happens!) to large-scale maintenance works and with doubtful effectiveness. Project Management and, even less, Lean Project Management, are hardly known to maintenance people at ALL levels. That's what is lacking.
The real revolution in the maintenance world is taking place only now. Under the Lean Thinking philosophy, lean principles can and should be deployed also in maintenance activities and made known to all those concerned, including maintenance technicians and workers.
This course will be a shocking course for many of you. Because it demystifies all traditional principles of the first industrial revolution on which the majority of enterprises, still today, are built or around which they operate. By presenting in rather great detail the philosophy of the second industrial revolution applied to the maintenance world and the main tools and disciplines readily available to all enterprises to perform in an "excellent" status, this course is a door-opener to lean maintenance practices for whoever is: ready to listen to message - prepared to abandon obsolete principles, formulas and approaches - willing to get to "lean" status.
By showing that "thinking" is what must change at all levels in the maintenance domain, this course will prove that higher levels of performance can be achieved if you create the right conditions.
I hope to see you there, best regards
Dr Carlo

- Understand the basics of modern Maintenance and Plant Management and the Lean Thinking philosophy, performance goals and critical success factors
- Understand the real reasons of failure of maintenance operations managed and planned with a "traditional" style
- Trigger a different thinking mechanism suited to focus onto crucial issues of the planning process
- Use lean ideas to see maintenance works as "waste-less flow processes" and to think about improvement of the whole maintenance function
- Equip your toolbox with lean planning tools, tips and techniques
- Learn how to ensure Maintenance works of any size/scale will be accomplished in time, within budget and with overall satisfaction
- Understand the difference between traditional Plant Management and Lean Plant/Assets Management
- Learn how to transmit lean concepts to your own people and to external parties such as maintenance sub-contractors
- Implement strategies to increase Plant Performance through lean-thinking people while assuring their job satisfaction
