Every machine, however well built, starts losing ground the moment it's switched on for the first time — the only question is whether that decline happens slowly, on a controlled schedule, or suddenly, in the form of an unplanned breakdown. A monthly maintenance program is what tips the balance toward the first outcome: it keeps daily performance steady, protects equipment condition, and removes obstacles before they turn into downtime.

This Arab British Fellowship Training Academy training course focuses on the practical side of building that program — from defining maintenance tasks and choosing between preventive and corrective approaches, to organizing the technical teams, computer systems, and supervision structures that keep it running. It does not require major new investment; it requires a program that is designed well and followed consistently.

Course Objectives

• Build practical knowledge of the maintenance process, its scientific meanings, and its applications in organizing maintenance devices and units.
• Clarify maintenance concepts and indicators, and the role management plays in achieving them.
• Identify and design monthly maintenance programs suited to the facility's needs.
• Train on preventive maintenance and how to respond to and maintain against equipment failures.
• Understand maintenance requirements in terms of people, budget, and spare parts.
• Diagnose maintenance problems and completion/update issues in ongoing projects, and propose workable solutions.
