About this course

Asset management is a strategic function of an organisation which ensures the highest level of physical asset performance. At the heart of this function are the asset care plans (ACPs) that
must manage the inherent failure modes of all of the organisation’s physical assets.

The asset care plan development process is based on the optimum maintenance mix (OMM) methodology developed by Pragma with the specific objective of assisting companies in developing and improving the asset care plans for their physical assets. The process consists of developing the optimum mixture of preventive, predictive, pro-active and reactive tactics which ensure the highest overall equipment effectiveness at optimum cost. These ACPs will turn the maintenance function into your organisation’s competitive advantage in gaining world class competitiveness.

This training course is aligned with the GFMAM’s 39 Subjects with a specific focus on the subject of operations and maintenance decision-making.
