Preventive Maintenance Optimization Workshop

Optimize PMs using failure mode analysis on your real assets — reducing risk, cutting labor waste, and delivering measurable before-and-after results.

2-3 Days Duration
On-Site Location
Workshop Format
10-15 Recommended Participants
Overview

What This Workshop Is About

This hands-on workshop provides practical knowledge for performing Preventive Maintenance Optimization based on failure modes, using real assets from your facility. Participants alternate between theory and applied exercises to develop optimized maintenance strategies aligned with asset criticality and risk. The workshop delivers measurable before-and-after results, including risk reduction, PM time optimization, and labor efficiency improvements.

Key Topics Covered

1. PMO Foundations & Risk Assessment
Reliability principles, failure modes, Risk Priority Numbers (RPN)

2. PM Strategy Development
Task types, frequencies, labor requirements, equipment status

3. Failure Mode Analysis Severity
Occurrence, and detection evaluation

4. Hands-On PMO Exercise Applied
Optimization on selected facility assets

5. Before/After PMO Analysis
Risk reduction, PM time, and labor efficiency comparison

Why This Training Matters

  • Subjective PM tasks fail to detect actual failure modes
  • Highly reactive plants leading to low OEE
  • PM programs ineffective at identifying issues
  • Recurring lubrication and greasing failures
  • Format

  • 2 days using fictive equipment
  • 3 days using equipment of your choice, at your plant
  • Group of 3–5 maintenance/operations team members
  • Who Should Attend
    • Department Managers & Site Directors
    • Leaders responsible for reliability initiatives
    • Maintenance Supervisors & Planners
    Typical Daily Outline

    PMO Foundations & Risk Assessment

  • PMO framework and reliability principles
  • How failure modes drive maintenance strategy Risk Priority Number (RPN) methodology
  • Task types: visual inspection, condition monitoring, lubricant change
  • Frequency, labor, and equipment status considerations
  • Introduction to selected facility assets Initial PM strategy review
  • Hands-On PMO Exercise & Strategy Development

  • Collaborative failure mode identification
  • Severity and occurrence evaluation
  • Defining the right task, frequency, and craft
  • Aligning effort with asset criticality
  • Documenting optimized PM strategies
  • Before/after comparison and analysis
  • Applied Exercise on Facility Assets (On-Site Option)

  • PMO exercise on 1–3 client-selected assets
  • Cross-functional team collaboration
  • Final strategy documentation and deliverable preparation
  • Scope evaluation for full-plant PMO project
  • Report-out and workshop wrap-up
  • Upon successful completion, participants will be capable of:

    • Performing PMO based on failure modes and RPN analysis
    • Evaluating severity, occurrence, and detection for each failure mode
    • Aligning maintenance effort with asset criticality

    • Defining the right task, at the right time, by the right person
    • Optimizing task frequency, labor allocation, and equipment status
    • Documenting optimized strategies in standard formats

    • Quantifying risk reduction, PM time savings, and labor efficiency
    • Evaluating scope for full-plant PMO deployment

    What Participants Say
    "

    In the brewing industry, consistency and uptime are everything. Reliability Solutions helped me transition from a technical expert to a real maintenance leader. The program gave me tools to build a team that takes pride in precision — not just fixing things when they break.

    From Tallahassee to Longview to Jacksonville, one thing stayed consistent — the tools and mindset I gained through Reliability Solutions helped me succeed at every step. They helped me bridge the gap between mechanical engineering and operational leadership. They're not just a vendor — they're a partner in performance.
