Reinforced

he Mining Maintenance Management course is de-signed to be conducted in-house by your own person-nel. It includes 22 essential maintenance manage-

ment topics presented in a logical, straightfor- ward Power-Point format with explanatory captions and in- structor’s notes. Each tropic is reinforced by the accompa- nying text-book. Strategies, techniques, methodologies, technologies and procedures are accompanied by step-by- step expla-nations, illustrations and case studies.

TAbove all, the course recognizes that mainte-

nance success depends on the cooperation and support of all mining departments with solid management reinforcement. While maintenance improve-ment is the main focus, topics also address essential support from other departments and management roles essential to successful maintenance. The course objective is to ensure that the entire mining operation understands the what, who, how, when and why of mainte-nance and are committed to its success.

Advantages - On-site training accommodates the availability of personnel to avoid conflict with operational needs. When conducted by your own personnel, familiar trouble-spots can be targeted and course materials focused on their resolution. As many personnel as necessary can be trained, singly or in logical organizational groups. Personnel from sev-eral departments can be trained together permitting clarification of interdepartmental roles and actions. Course topics can be repeated for new personnel or for those assigned new re-sponsibilities. Individuals can train themselves. A mine manager, for example, may wish to refresh details of maintenance activities. In the often remote locations of many mining oper-ations, in-house training may be the only option. In such situations, the availability of train-ing materials helps to ensure that the workforce is educated on maintenance essentials.

Presentations can suggest potential improvement opportunities. Their discussion can lead to practical, realistic solutions of current problems and create the motivation to imple-ment the recommendations.

Any supervisor or manager can present any topic confidently by reading the textbook on the topic and reviewing the PowerPoint file. Captions on each slide are carefully worded to guide presentations. Suggested narration appears in instructor’s notes.

Development of the Course – My maintenance management consulting services have been provided world-wide to the mining industry since 1968. Consulting engagements were initiated with evaluations to identify improvement needs and concluded with seminars to ensure understanding of recommendations and commitment to their implementation. These experiences guided the selection of topics included in this course and presentation in the most practical and effective way.

Adding to 44 years experience, 11 textbooks and over 100 trade Journal articles have been written and published. Additional maintenance papers have been posted in the Mining Media International website (http://resourcs.mining-media.com).

Course Content – The course consists of 22 PowerPoint presentations with captions, illustrations, case studies and suggested narratives for each slide of all 22 files. The number of slides of each presentation is shown in (#).
