The Asset Reliability Practitioner (ARP-A) "Reliability Advocate" course is intended for everyone working within an organization who in any way influence the management, design, engineering, procurement, maintenance, or operation of an organization that involves critical rotating machinery and electrical equipment. It gives the "big-picture" of why unreliability exists, how it creeps into an operation and what the key steps are to eliminate it.

More Information

Before we explore the technical details of strategy, we must know about each organisation, what their issues these issues matter, and how the issues can be incorporated into a plan. There must be a documented need to look at an existing maintenance strategy or create a new one for unique business reasons. Maintenance Strategy is the key to asset reliability and availability, thus achieving organisational goals. How do you know if a review of your maintenance strategy is required and why?
