Maintenance Auditing and Benchmarking for Continuous Improvement

Maintenance managers across Africa often sense their function could perform better but lack an objective way to measure it. This programme equips leaders to audit their maintenance operation and benchmark it against good practice. Delegates learn to assess planning, execution, stores, data and leadership, identify the biggest gaps and build a practical improvement roadmap that management will support.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the purpose and scope of a structured maintenance audit.
  • Assess maintenance practices across planning, execution, stores and data.
  • Compare current performance against recognised good practice.
  • Use maintenance metrics to benchmark and prioritise improvement.
  • Identify root causes behind weak maintenance performance.
  • Build an improvement roadmap and business case for management.
