Overview

Maintenance budgets are frequently spread evenly across assets that differ enormously in consequence of failure. This programme covers criticality assessment, maintenance strategy selection and the reliability analysis that tells you whether a strategy is working.

It runs 6 times over the published calendar, in 6 cities. Every date is the same programme with the same content and the same certificate.

What you will be able to do

  • Assess asset criticality by consequence of failure.
  • Select a maintenance strategy appropriate to failure mode.
  • Use failure data to test whether a strategy is working.
  • Build a maintenance plan that follows criticality.

Who should attend

Maintenance and reliability engineers, asset managers, and operations leads accountable for availability.

Is the level right for you?

This is an advanced level programme. It assumes you are working in or moving into the area it covers, and it is built around your own material rather than a case study. If you are unsure, ask an advisor before registering rather than after.

Ask an advisor

How it is taught

Short input, then work. Across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.

  • Your own material

    Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.

  • A capped cohort

    Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.

  • Practice under scrutiny

    The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.

  • Something to take back

    Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.

The programme, part by part

This programme runs over 5 days. The outline below is grouped into 3 parts rather than one block per day, because that is how the material is organised. Your joining instructions carry the timetable for the dates you attend.

Part 1Criticality

Criticality

  • Consequence of failure
  • Ranking the asset base
  • Hidden and protective functions
  • Where even spread wastes money
Part 2Strategy

Strategy

  • Run to failure as a legitimate choice
  • Preventive against condition based
  • Failure modes and matching strategy
  • Spares and their carrying cost
Part 3Evidence

Evidence

  • Failure data and what it needs to record
  • Reliability measures
  • Testing whether a strategy works
  • Continuous revision

What you leave with

  • A criticality assessment for the delegate's asset base.
  • A strategy selection record per asset class.
  • A reliability measure set.
  • A maintenance plan aligned to criticality.

The certificate

A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.

Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.

Questions

Who is Asset Management and Reliability for?
Maintenance and reliability engineers, asset managers, and operations leads accountable for availability. It runs at advanced level within Maintenance and Reliability, so it assumes you are working in or moving into that area rather than meeting it for the first time. If you are unsure whether the level fits, ask an advisor before registering rather than after.
How long is it, and what does a day look like?
5 days, running to roughly 6 teaching hours a day. Sessions are built around your own material rather than a case study, so a day alternates between short input and working on something you brought. The full outline is on this page, grouped into parts.
What does it cost, and what is included?
The next published date is Windhoek, Namibia at R15,000 per delegate. The fee covers tuition, all programme materials and the certificate. Travel, accommodation and visas are arranged by the delegate. Fees vary by city, and every published date shows its own.
Can it be delivered for my organisation only?
Yes. Any published programme can run as a private cohort, on dates that suit you, in your city or online, built around your own material. That is a different conversation from registering an individual, and it starts with what capability you are trying to build rather than with a course title.
What certificate do I get?
A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended. Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record.
Is this available online?
Not in the currently published window. This programme is listed for classroom, in house. An advisor can tell you whether an online cohort is planned, or arrange one privately for your organisation.

Want to take this further?

Register on a published date, or tell an advisor what you need and they will come back with something specific rather than a brochure.
