This course covers the capital projects to acquire (build or buy) new assets. It is not a project management course, but it does explain the Stage-GateTM process and the typical phases of a capital project. The course focuses mainly on maintenance readiness, which is the “readiness” of a new asset to be maintained and operated at the required level of availability after commissioning. This is achieved by involving the reliability engineers, maintenance managers and maintenance staff during the acquisition project. The course presents a framework of maintenance readiness activities during each project phase, the KPIs to measure its success, and the potential value of an effective maintenance readiness process.
