About the programme
Course Overview
Industrial equipment plays a critical role in sustaining operational performance and productivity across sectors. Over time, however, machines and systems experience wear, aging, and technical obsolescence, leading to increased maintenance costs and reduced efficiency.
Planning equipment replacement based on its productive lifespan and conducting feasibility analysis is a strategic approach that helps organizations maintain reliability, optimize costs, and reduce operational risks.
This process requires a deep understanding of asset lifecycle, identifying the optimal replacement point, and evaluating the economic and operational impact of continuing versus replacing the equipment.
It involves assessing performance indicators, estimating maintenance costs, analyzing downtime effects, and comparing alternative technologies and financing options.
This workshop is designed to equip participants with the tools and methodologies to develop effective replacement plans supported by comprehensive feasibility studies.
Through hands-on exercises, evaluation models, and real-world case studies, participants will learn how to turn theoretical knowledge into practical strategies that enhance asset management and decision-making.
By the end of the program, attendees will be able to lead replacement planning initiatives that balance performance, cost, and long-term sustainability.
