Unplanned downtime is expensive, and it is almost always traceable to an asset that was not tracked, maintained, or managed properly. This Mastering Asset Lifecycle Management course, delivered by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, uses IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5 as the practical foundation for solving that problem, walking attendees through the interface and core workflows they will use to manage assets from day one through end of life.

The course covers the full operational picture: creating and tracking work orders, controlling inventory, running procurement and vendor workflows, and scheduling preventive maintenance to cut downtime before it happens. It also covers the administrative side — security groups, user roles, and access management — plus the reporting and analytics tools that turn Maximo data into decisions. Attendees leave able to navigate the system confidently and apply it to real asset management challenges.
