Course Introduction
As industrial operations face increasing pressure to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and maximize asset utilization, adopting a comprehensive Asset Performance Management System (APMS) becomes a strategic imperative. The APMS model provides a structured approach to optimize maintenance, integrate condition monitoring, and ensure lifecycle performance of critical assets.
This intensive course equips plant engineers, reliability managers, and maintenance leaders with practical knowledge of the APMS model, its pillars, and implementation roadmap. Participants will gain actionable insights into how to build a data-driven, predictive, and sustainable maintenance culture.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the components, principles, and drivers of the APMS model
• Align maintenance and reliability strategies with business performance goals
• Apply tools and metrics to monitor and improve asset performance
• Develop implementation roadmaps for APMS integration in existing systems
• Promote a culture of reliability, risk management, and data-driven decision-making
