Regardless of the type of operation, it is essential to understand the value of the maintenance process and to develop and nurture an organizational culture that clearly supports maintenance improvement over the long term. Providing effective training supports our belief in the basics and building upon these basic best practices as the foundation for maintenance excellence. It is essential that world-class attitudes toward maintenance exist within the operation whether it is a manufacturing site, a large university facilities complex, a healthcare facility, or a fleet operation.

For the purpose of helping achieve total operations success we provide the following training capabilities. All sessions are available as individual presentations or may be included when needed as part of a Maintenance Excellence Services project. A summary of available topics is provided. All have been presented worldwide in the past through our alliance group, by selected conference producing organizations and by various universities.

The Maintenance Excellence Institute’s suite of workshops and seminars has been presented internationally as either as in-house or as public seminar sessions by alliance staff members. These course topics are also available to clients and conference planners in customized speech presentation format of one to two hours each. All speech presentations provide a focus on improving leadership's understanding as the value of mission-essential maintenance operations and best practices to support maintenance excellence.

The most unique, the most beneficial and absolute best part of The Maintenance Excellence Institute’s learning adventure is that “it is not over when it’s over”. Following completion of each session, whether as an in-house presentation or a public session, there is personalized follow-up scheduled for each participant. Personal follow-up and one on one coaching is available to help you apply what you have learned. The training process provides an important start to an alliance between your company and The Maintenance Excellence Institute. It is not over until we can help you apply what you have learned and you have received tangible results and ROI from your training investment.

The sessions listed here are being presented in several ways:

1. Various organizations such as the International Quality and Productivity Center (IQPC) may sponsor public offerings of selected sessions
2. The Maintenance Excellence Institute may sponsor a public offering
3. The Maintenance Excellence Institute may schedule an in house presentation for a client as part of a Maintenance Excellence Services project or as support to our Operational Services.

These options vary depending on client needs and group size. An in-house presentation tailored specifically to your organization will normally be the most cost-effective approach with the cost per participant being an extraordinary value when from 20 to 25 participants attends. All courses include extensive course materials, related references and complete copies of The Scoreboard for Maintenance Excellence (or The Scoreboard for Facilities Management Excellence), The CMMS/EAM Benchmarking System and The Maintenance Excellence Index along with their respective applications guides.
