Maintenance Management Professional

​This course is the equivalent to PEMAC Maintenance Management Certification Module 1: An Integrated Strategy for Maintenance Management. Based on the course text, Uptime, Module 1 develops the framework for thinking about a strategic approach to maintenance management that is integrated with the business. Drawing on the elements presented in the “Maintenance Excellence Pyramid” of Uptime, participants in Module 1 will learn how strategy, people, basic care, materials management, performance management, work management, support systems, and tools such as RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) and RCFA (Root Cause Failure Analysis) can work together to build a culture of excellence.

​This course is the equivalent to PEMAC Maintenance Management Certification Module 2: Production and Operations Management for the Maintenance Manager.

​This course is the equivalent to PEMAC Maintenance Management Certification Module 5: Reliability-Centred Maintenance. This module focuses on maintenance efforts to ensure that physical assets safely, capably, reliably and repeatedly perform to their designed specifications. The focus is on techniques to develop maintenance tactics that will address how the assets are used, how they are likely to fail, the consequence of failure, and identifying maintenance tactics that are both feasible and worth doing. After developing tactics, the module will focus on how tactics need to be implemented and their effectiveness tracked. Topics include: understanding the “Operating Context”; defining asset function and functional failures; Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA); planning maintenance tasks; decision diagram; understanding consequences and the application of the RCM; maintenance task identification; implementing preventive maintenance; and introducing condition-based monitoring (CBM) into the maintenance equation.
Prerequisite(s): PEMA 1000

​This course is equivalent to PEMAC Maintenance Management Module 6: Maintenance Work Management. Effective Work Management ensures that the right maintenance work is done on the correct assets, at the right time, using the right resources and the right tools. This module provides a study of the fundamental principles of the work management process in addition to the basics of planning, scheduling and work coordination methods. Upon completion of this module, participants will have a sound understanding of work management processes, practices and tools, and how to effectively apply them to achieve the goals of improving reliability while minimizing interruptions to production processes and/ or services. Topics include: proper prioritization of identified work; effective use of resources; aligning maintenance activities with production or service schedules; integrating proactive maintenance tactics; developing and documenting maintenance strategies; and integrating proactive maintenance tactics.
Prerequisite(s): PEMA 1000

​This course is equivalent to PEMAC Maintenance Management Certification Module 7: Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). This module focuses on maintenance efforts to ensure that physical assets safely, capably, reliably and repeatedly perform to their designed specifications. The focus is on techniques to develop maintenance tactics that will address how the assets are used, how they are likely to fail, the consequence of failure, and identifying maintenance tactics that are both feasible and worth doing. After developing tactics, the module will focus on how tactics need to be implemented and their effectiveness tracked. Topics include: integrating the use of CMMS with other departments; project planning and organization; implementing team development; assigning team roles and responsibilities; and integrating the CMMS activities (financial, work/job planning, data collection and preventive & predictive maintenance).

​This course is the equivalent to PEMAC Maintenance Management Certification Module 8: Capstone Course. Through the application of the key learning elements from the previous seven MMP modules participants apply the principles, latest concepts and techniques to a final project. Participants will select a project that will audit, assess and improve their current maintenance departments or develop a new maintenance strategy in their company or resolve a significant maintenance issue within their departments. There is also the option of developing a “Greenfield” maintenance strategy and program upon approval from the instructor. The assessment of the Capstone projects is intended to qualify participants for their MMP certification and designation.
