An introduction to the training course:
The technological explosion, economic competition, and knowledge growth were accompanied by a very significant development in industrial and administrative processes in all governmental and commercial sectors around the world, which made continuous improvement processes one of the most important conditions for the survival of organizations and the diversification of their competitiveness.
KAIZEN was an amazing discovery. The Japanese experience of continuous improvement, which the Japanese called KAIZEN, was able to achieve the lowest level of waste in operations, resources and time, achieving high rates of profits and financial returns, hence the interest in the Japanese philosophy of KAIZEN for the purpose of identifying and training it. And its application in the institutional and corporate sectors.
Planning, evaluating and controlling maintenance work is fundamental to business success. If the goal is to have a world-class organization, the maintenance strategy has a critical role to play in this task based on business objectives, and this strategy cannot be viewed as separate from other jobs, but rather as An integral part of a complete approach to high performance work.
This training course aims to identify the scientific methods for evaluating performance in the maintenance department, and to identify the modern methods and systems used in maintenance engineering, where the work and tasks entrusted to the maintenance department are listed. During the application of that knowledge, there should be feedback to address any defect in performance or to raise the effectiveness of work.
