Course Overview
An interactive training course covering Maintenance and Reliability best practices as defined by the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (SMRP) Body of Knowledge (BOK).
This course will enable participants to develop a strategy for outstanding maintenance and reliability performance, tools to improve reliability at equipment level, and an insight to the latest practices in planning, scheduling, and control.
The Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional standard is the leading accreditation for modern maintenance and reliability professionals. This is a top tier qualification which was established to set a consistent, recognized standard in industry, is the only certification of its kind accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and follows the global standards of the Organization for Standards (ISO) for its accreditation process. Participants who pass the exam will be able to use the designation “CMRP”.
Known Best Practices will be explained, demonstrated, and attendees will work on real-world issues in each functional area in maintenance and reliability.
The course will explain the concepts, tools, and processes of each element of the five pillars according to the body of knowledge guide
