Course Introduction

Equipment Maintenance is a complex process in any industry regardless of its scope. Shutdowns provide unique opportunities to a maintenance department not normally available during standard operation or even during short shutdown periods. A large work is required to schedule into a relatively short period of time. Very often, the cost of lost production due to unplanned failures far outweighs the shutdown cost.

This course provides the basics and applications required for any successful shutdown maintenance program. Good understanding of shutdown maintenance techniques and relevant decisions will lead to profitable industrial systems.
