Introduction

In today’s complex industrial environments, the efficiency and reliability of maintenance management are crucial for the longevity and productivity of equipment. Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) are essential tools that help organisations effectively manage their maintenance operations. These systems capture and store maintenance plans as organisational knowledge, enabling multiple users to access and collaboratively enhance these plans. CMMS act as a comprehensive library, archiving previous work and allowing for the continuous improvement of maintenance plans over time. They enable organisations to meticulously track pending and completed tasks and enhance decision-making processes with reporting functionality and data analytics.

Expertise Powered by EAMS Africa

S804 photo1Asset Management / Maintenance is not for sissys. Fortunately, there are tools available to make us heroes.

Asset Management / Maintenance practitioners are often faced with situations where they need to take challenging decisions. Such decisions are mostly based on limited information and years of experience. While experience and gut feel are invaluable in such situations, it can often be enhanced by good analysis.

Typically, maintenance decisions require the evaluation of alternative solutions in terms of various maintenance criteria such as cost, failure history, time to repair, time to failure and uptime.

S804 photo3The course Decision-making in Maintenance is aimed at providing such analysis tools. Specifically, it addresses the following decision making areas:

  • Preventive maintenance decisions
  • Component replacement decisions
  • Asset replacement decisions
  • Repairable Systems decisions
  • Condition Based Maintenance decisions
  • Maintenance resource decisions
  • Outsourcing decisions

The course intends to enable maintenance practitioners to be able to:

  • Use a variety of mathematical and statistical techniques to assist them in maintenance decision making.
  • Apply the techniques of component replacement decision-making, reconditioning decision-making, and equipment replacement decision-making to limited scale problems, using standard student copies of commercially available software.
  • Develop proper maintenance strategies for the assets under their care.
  • Do basic failure analyses.
  • Find the optimal replacement age of components.
  • Develop an essential understanding of capital replacement decision making models and techniques.

There are two ways that a private student can receive discount from Terotechnica: Immediate Payment and Placement Payment.


1. Immediate Payment
In a case of an immediate full settlement of the total amount of the quotation, the student is entitled to 30% discount. The “immediate full settlement” is then the full amount of the quotation, less 30%. This offer is only valid for five (5) days from the date of the quotation.


2. Placement Payment
If the student for some reason cannot do immediate/full settlement payment, as described above he/she does not qualify for the full 30% discount but can still receive a discount according to the following schedule below, on payment of a R2000 placement fee.
The discount that can be secured is as follows:

  • 25% if the placement fee is paid within the first five (5) days of the date of the quotation.
  • 20% if the placement fee is paid between day six (6) and day ten (10) of the date of the quotation.
  • 15% if the placement fee is paid between day eleven (11) and day ten (15) of the date of the quotation.
  • 10% if the placement fee is paid between day sixteen (16) and day twenty (20) of the date of the quotation.
  • 5% if the placement fee is paid between day twenty-one (21) and day twenty-five (25) of the date of the quotation.

Nevertheless, the total price of the specific course, less discount secured, must be paid before course attendance.
