What's stopping you now?  Resistance to change is largely due to fear - fear of what MIGHT happen (the unknown).  Overcoming this fear is one of the keys to successfully improving your business.  Part of that process of overcoming fears comes through training.

What else is needed?  Change doesn't happen without buy-in of all of your people who will be affected by the change.  It requires new behavior, that requires new thinking and acceptance of what's about to occur.  We do that by shattering any old misconceptions, learning new concepts and demonstrating that changes are not threatening.  Our training does some of this.  Our consulting, advisory and project management services help you to do the rest. 

Training Needs Analysis  Before launching into an extensive training program of any kind we recommend a "Training Needs Analysis".  This is a review of existing training, workforce skills and knowledge requirements.  It produces a summary of what is already in place, what might not be required and what is required to enhance the program.  Contact us for more information.

Training Offerings  Our training is offered both "in-house" at your facilities or externally.  Courses have been developed by experts from all over the world and some are excellent programs that we offer under license from their developers.  Some of the courses are offered as part of programs to develop competence in specific methodologies.  These are coupled with pilot and coached projects.  We have developed both a complete training program that a company can simply adopt.  It is made up of a variety of courses, each of which is also available separately.  To learn more about our program and / or any of our courses click on the links below.  If you want further information or to discuss a program for your organization, then please contact us directly.

Reliability Program Support
Companies that are already doing well at managing the maintenance activity yet need to improve reliability to achieve improved safety, improved environmental compliance and lower cost performance will benefit from our reliability program.  Here we have blended the necessary elements for technical excellence in physical asset reliability management.  To learn more about each element click on it's heading: Reliability Programs, Reliability Technical Training, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM2), Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA) and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA).

Uptime Courses
We've developed a series of short courses designed to help you pull the various elements together as needed for operational excellence.  Companies often have training in specific technical areas and / or business processes and computer management systems training, but those are not yet integrated into a cohesive whole.  Our Uptime training pulls all the pieces of the puzzle to together so that efforts become more co-ordinated and focused on the same goals.  Click here to learn more.
