About the Course -The biggest drivers of maintenance performance don’t sit in the maintenance department.
Discover the leadership decisions that shape reliability, cost, and operational performance long before maintenance ever picks up a tool.
Maintenance is often viewed as a technical function, but the organisations that achieve world-class reliability understand a different reality: maintenance performance is largely shaped by leadership decisions, organizational culture, and cross-functional alignment.
Bringing back, International Specialist Joel Levitt, for his brand-new topic designed specifically for senior leaders seeking to improve operational performance through better maintenance strategy and leadership.
Designed for managers, directors, and senior leaders, this engaging training experience challenges conventional thinking around maintenance, reliability, and organizational performance. Through practical examples, discussion, and insights from the accompanying book, participants will gain a broader perspective on the hidden factors that drive emergency work, increase costs, and undermine operational effectiveness.
What you will explore:
Why reliability is largely determined before maintenance ever sees the equipment
The true meaning behind excessive emergency work and what it reveals about organizational performance
How cost-cutting decisions can unintentionally increase overall business costs
Practical leadership actions that support long-term reliability and asset performance
The importance of defect elimination as a foundation for sustainable results
The role leadership plays in creating a culture that enables maintenance success
Improve your contribution to:
Better CMMS adoption and utilisation
Increased wrench time and workforce effectiveness
Stronger cooperation between operations and maintenance
Improved preventive maintenance compliance
Reduced reactive work and operational disruption
Greater reliability across the organisation
Maintenance is not just a support function; it’s a strategic lever for business performance. When leadership understands this, organisations move from firefighting to delivering consistent, reliable results. This session will challenge how you think about maintenance and provide practical leadership insights that can transform the way your organisation approaches reliability.
