In a world where components disappear from the market faster than investment budgets change, and knowledge of systems leaves with experienced employees – you need to not only react but act proactively.
This training will teach you how to systematically manage the risk of machine aging, create strategies for extending the life of infrastructure, and make informed decisions: to maintain, upgrade, replace, or… substitute with another solution?
We do not offer advices - we provide you with a model of actions that has proven effective in many industrial plants. We will show you how to conduct an analysis, how to communicate with management, how to engage maintenance and production teams, and how to turn a “problematic machine park” into a source of value.
Key benefits for the participant
You will learn how to assess the risk of machine aging from a technical and business perspective.
You will get to know specific methods and tools for analysis (risk matrices, obsolescence maps, criticality assessment).
You will build an action plan for your organization: what to maintain, what to replace, what to substitute with a service.
You will strengthen your position as a technical leader – data-driven, not intuition-based.
You will receive a complete set of materials, checklists, and matrices to use right after the training.
The training is divided into 5 focused modules, each containing practical tools, case studies, and workshops to work on your own facility.
Creating a map of obsolescence – systems, components, software, know-how
Categorization: OK / AT RISK / OBSOLETE – and what next?
Prioritization of actions: quick wins, critical actions, long-term actions
Documenting the plan – how to present technical data clearly for decision-makers
Decision scenarios: repair, upgrade, replacement, discontinuation, external service
How to combine technical data with cost analysis (CAPEX vs OPEX, TCO, operational risk)
Case study: decision-making with a limited budget – workshop
The role of the technical manager in dialogue with management and finance
Integration with existing processes: CMMS, maintenance planning, budgeting
Creating of indicators (KPI, obsolescence index, risk maps)
Communication and awareness among technical and production teams
Action plan after training – framework for implementing the process in your organization
