Building Reliability Through Smart Maintenance: Preventive, Predictive and RCM Strategies Training Course
1Summary
Every unplanned equipment failure costs more than the repair itself — lost production hours, safety exposure, and a maintenance team stuck firefighting instead of planning ahead. The Building Reliability Through Smart Maintenance Training Course by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy equips Facilities Maintenance professionals with structured strategies — preventive, predictive and reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) — that shift operations from reactive repairs to planned, data-driven asset care.
As part of our Facilities Management Training Courses, the programme pairs internationally recognised maintenance practices with hands-on use of CMMS technologies and performance monitoring, helping delegates raise reliability, cut downtime and control maintenance costs across any type of facility.
2Objectives and target group
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the principles and objectives of modern Facilities Maintenance management.
- Design preventive maintenance programmes, inspection routines and maintenance intervals.
- Apply predictive maintenance techniques — vibration analysis, thermography and oil analysis — through condition monitoring.
- Implement reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), including FMEA and criticality assessment.
- Plan and schedule maintenance work, spare parts and shutdowns efficiently.
- Use CMMS platforms for work orders, asset registers and data-driven reporting.
- Track maintenance KPIs, run root cause analysis and audits to drive continuous improvement.
- Build an integrated maintenance budget and long-term reliability strategy.
Target Audience
- Facilities and Maintenance Managers
- Facilities and Maintenance Engineers
- Reliability Engineers and Asset Management Professionals
- Building Services Engineers and Technical Supervisors
