MTN0102 – Maintenance policies

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of maintenance strategies and their role in ensuring equipment reliability and operational efficiency in industrial environments. It covers the full spectrum of maintenance approaches, from fundamental concepts of equipment failure behaviour to advanced diagnostic techniques and strategic decision-making. Learners begin by exploring how equipment deteriorates over time, including the analysis of failure patterns and the classification of failures. The course then examines the main maintenance policies—corrective, time-based, condition-based, and improvement maintenance—highlighting their applications, advantages, and limitations. Building on this foundation, the course introduces predictive diagnostic techniques used to monitor equipment condition and anticipate failures through data-driven insights. Finally, it addresses the economic and strategic aspects of maintenance, focusing on cost optimisation, policy selection criteria, and the design of dynamic maintenance strategies tailored to specific operational contexts. Designed for industrial professionals, this course enables learners to make informed maintenance decisions, optimise resource allocation, and enhance the reliability and performance of production systems.
