An Intensive 5-day Training Course

Maintenance Audit and Site Inspection

Availability, Reliability and Compliance

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

In today's asset-intensive industries, the performance of equipment and facilities is directly linked to profitability, safety, and business continuity. Asset and Maintenance Management plays a critical role in achieving an optimal balance between performance, risk, and cost. But to reach operational excellence, organizations must first understand where performance gaps exist—and how to close them efficiently.

The Maintenance Audit and Site Inspection training course equips professionals with the methodologies and tools to assess, audit, and improve maintenance practices. Participants will learn to conduct effective audits, identify inefficiencies, apply international benchmarks (such as PAS 55 and ISO 55000), and transform findings into actionable improvement plans.

Through real-world scenarios, interactive exercises, and peer discussions, this 5-day course builds a powerful foundation in maintenance auditing, enabling organizations to unlock hidden value, reduce risk, and drive performance improvement in line with global best practices.

  • Key maintenance audit and site inspection techniques
