The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course entitled Modern Strategic Planning for Operation and Maintenance, as maintenance has gone through different stages of development. Previously the concept of maintenance was repairing the equipment only if it broke down, but if it is working well, then no maintenance is needed. This course is concerned with assisting the participants in taking measures to avoid the problems that were occurring due to the use of the reactionary method of maintenance, such as: production stoppages, large periods for repair, and the possibility of large losses in machines or in lives as a result of sudden or unexpected failure, hence the thought of developing and planning maintenance work and strategic planning for operations and maintenance has occurred.

Target group:

The target group to participate in the modern strategic planning course for operation and maintenance work:

• Workers in the field of engineering strategic planning.
