This five-day intensive training program provides junior maintenance performance engineers with practical knowledge and hands-on tools to effectively manage engineering and maintenance projects. It bridges foundational project management principles with real-world maintenance applications, helping participants enhance their efficiency and project success rates.
The course covers traditional and modern approaches, from defining project scopes to implementing agile methodologies suitable for industrial environments. Participants will learn how to plan, execute, and monitor projects while ensuring safety, cost control, and quality improvement in maintenance operations.
Through interactive discussions, case studies, and exercises, trainees will gain a deep understanding of how to apply project management techniques directly in their maintenance roles—ensuring better equipment reliability, reduced downtime, and improved organizational performance.
