Preventive Maintenance (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

Preventive maintenance and its planning are an important part of the operations of a modern production plant.

In this course you will learn to identify the development targets and starting points for preventive maintenance. You will learn to recognize what RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) means and what are the steps of RCM. You also will learn to know the basics of the other methods of preventive maintenance. You will learn to use KPIs. You will also learn to take advantage of maintenance research information.

First you will learn the basic concepts of maintenance, like the maintenance types and the methods and operations of the maintenance. Further you will know how to use and choose the basic concepts of maintenance. You will also learn to apply them in practice. You will learn to apply different kind of maintenance methods in practice.

After completing this course, you will understand the importance of modern production plant maintenance and the methods and functions of maintenance. You have learned to identify the basic concepts of maintenance and to apply individual methods in practice, ie to develop maintenance in a production plant.
