Industrial Maintenance

The basic knowledge is transversal, namely from the fundamental sciences and from some areas of the course’s specialty, in order to allow a comprehensive view of the students for the understanding and application of the broad spectrum of Industrial Maintenance.

The teaching methodology is based on the following aspects:

• Presentation of the subjects by the teacher;
• Presentation of topics by students;
• Field trips;
• Lectures by professionals from the industry.

At the end of the course, the student should have learned about:

• The concept of Maintenance and its evolutions, as well as the concepts associated with them;
• The organization and management of a maintenance department of an industrial, service, hospital, hotel, or other company, where the Physical Assets component is relevant;
• The programming, monitoring and control of maintenance interventions;
• The use of maintenance planning techniques and methods;
• The identification and application of some conditioning maintenance techniques;
• Introduction to predictive maintenance techniques;
• The functioning of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems; 
• information systems for maintenance and physical assets management;
• The technical and management indicators and the development of indicators tables to support maintenance;
• The knowledge of the relevant standards for the maintenance organization and management;
• The main concepts and applications of Vibration Analysis;
• The maintenance Organization and Management Models, with reference to the Toyota Production System (TPS): Just In Time. Jidoka (Poka Yoke, Andon). Andon. 5S. TPM (Total Productive Maintenance).
