Objectives
Approach
| There are more than 10,000 maintenance, repair and preventive
maintenance tasks for all types of facilities. With advances in
telecommunications, computers and other workplace technologies,
the list is growing rapidly. In a downsized, fiscally
conservative environment, facilities are seen as vital capital
assets that affect employee productivity. The demands for
technical expertise, and cost-effective plant
operations have increased dramatically.
Using data developed in cooperation with the Army Corps of Engineers and Applied Management Engineering, this course teaches the most financially favorable maintenance, repair and replacement estimating for virtually every building system. Attendees learn step-by-step proven methods for auditing facilities; for preventive planning that helps avoid costly breakdown and remediation; associated equipment, material and crew costing; determining both in-house and contract-out service costs; and assembling all this data into a defensible annual, asset-protecting M&R plan. Practice exercises provide skill-building opportunities. |  |
