This GLOMACS Root Cause Failure Analysis highly interactive training seminar addresses a modern approach to problem solving in maintenance management and is based on some of the most recent research in the field. Participants will be enabled to improve the performance of their operation with practical, down-to-earth techniques that are based on first principles.

The following aspects will be addressed:

• Logistics of Continuous Performance Improvement
• Decision Logic and Operational Knowledge Types
• Maturity Indexing
• Relationship Development and Analysis
• Strategic Focus
• Complexity, Risk, and Variability Models

Applying the concepts taught in this GLOMACS training course, delegates will be able to:

• Develop and implement a sustainable world-class maintenance strategy
• Perform a systematic Root Cause Failure Analysis
• Develop an improved understanding of numerous maintenance environment variables, and of the relationships between them
• Understand, audit and optimize your maintenance process
• Understand the use and application of generic problem solving techniques
• Cascade the principles and benefits of the program to other employees

The training methodology is interactive with numerous group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in maintenance and operations management.
