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 maintenance plans that must manage the inherent failure modes of all of the organisation’s physical assets. The maintenance plan development process is based on the optimum maintenance approach (OMA) methodology developed by Pragma with the specific objective of assisting companies in developing and improving the maintenance plans for their physical assets. The process consists of realising triggers, defining scope, analysing criticality and, based on this, deciding on the best approach to develop the maintenance plans. These maintenance plans will turn the maintenance function into your organisation’s competitive advantage in gaining world class competitiveness. ### Course Outcomes At the end of this course learners will be able to:Describe the maintenance plan development process and its various triggers Conduct a criticality analysis to a basic asset Perform a Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to a basic asset Describe the difference between  condition-based, usage-based, run-to-failure and design improvement tactics Apply appropriate tactics to develop primary tasks, acceptable limits and secondary tasks Package tasks for execution according to general Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS) configurations Improve tactics through continuous evaluation against  relevant KPI’s Maintenance Plan Development - Content ### Introduction to Maintenance Plan Development Gain a clear understanding of what maintenance plan development is by looking at different maintenance approaches, the benefits and the role players. Understand the link between Pragma’s OMA methodology and reliability-centred maintenance (RCM). ### Asset Criticality Analysis Interpret a risk matrix and conduct a criticality analysis on a basic asset. Interpret the information from a criticality analysis to decide on the optimum maintenance approach (OMA) ### Selecting the Optimum Maintenance Approach Explore the three different maintenance approaches: Basic Asset Care, Quick Tactics Development and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis. ### Types of Tactics Describe the difference between condition-based, usage-based, run-to-failure and design improvement tactics. ### Task Development Apply appropriate tactics to develop primary tasks, acceptable limits and secondary tasks. ### Package Tasks Package tasks for execution according to general Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS) configurations. ### Evaluate Tactics Critically evaluate existing maintenance plans using evaluation guidelines. Set up effective maintenance plan key performance indicators (KPI’s). #### Who should attend? - Asset managers - Maintenance managers - Reliability engineers - Production and operations managers - Maintenance foremen and supervisors - Maintenance engineers - Maintenance technicians - Maintenance planners #### Format and duration - 24 notional hours delivered either as blended learning or face-to-face - Blended learning consists of 1 hr onboarding - 4×3 hrs self-directed learning and assessment - 1 hr summative assessment 3 day face-to-face classroom training. (Note that learners are required to bring their laptops to this training.) #### Take-home tools - Facilitated by an experienced asset management consultant - Note that learners will complete a maintenance plan on an Excel document and therefore laptops are required during this training (or, at least one laptop per group). #### Certification - Learners completing this training can obtain SAAMA CPD points. ##### View the recommended training relevant to your role Click here for Public Training Calendar Request a call to discuss in-house or customised training **Date:**Monday, 16 August 2027 **Duration:** 4 contact sessions and elearning **Venue:**Blended **Fees:**R13350 per person " data-course-file="https://www.pragmaworld.net/wp-content/uploads/Pragma-Academy-Maintenance-Plan-Development.pdf" >Download PDF brochure
