Course details

Plant Maintenance operates the overall maintenance business processes and functions. The Plant Maintenance module allows a maintenance organization to:

• Identify, document, and correct failures and degradations of any assets for which they have responsibility. 
  
• Plan and schedule activities to prevent or predict failures and keep assets and processes operating within design specifications.
