Why Choose This Course

The Decision Analysis for Operation & Maintenance Professionals training course provides practitioners with a structured, evidence-based approach to improving decisions throughout the maintenance lifecycle. Poor operational and maintenance decisions can result in unplanned downtime, incorrectly allocated resources, greater risk and rising costs. The course directly addresses these consequences through established methods for consistent and informed decision-making. It offers practical value for professionals seeking to replace instinctive judgements with repeatable processes.

Over five focused days, participants progress from decision-making fundamentals to risk management, ERP and MRP systems, and data-driven maintenance optimisation. They examine the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Failure Mode & Effect Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis and Weibull analysis. The course also covers CMMS optimisation techniques as part of a structured approach to operations and maintenance challenges. Each module develops practical capability that delegates can apply immediately within their organisations.

This Decision Analysis for Operation & Maintenance Professionals training course will highlight:

  • Applying structured, evidence-based decision-making across the maintenance lifecycle
  • Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process for decision analysis
  • Applying Failure Mode & Effect Analysis and Fault Tree Analysis
  • Using Weibull analysis in maintenance decision-making
  • Understanding risk management, ERP and MRP systems
  • Optimising CMMS techniques and data-driven maintenance

Course Goals

What are the Goals?

The Decision Analysis Course for Operation & Maintenance Professionals aims to build structured, data-led decision-making capabilities throughout operations and maintenance functions.

Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Recognise the scope, importance, and process of effective decision making within operations and maintenance
  • Use reliability and Weibull analysis to inform maintenance decision making
  • Carry out Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
  • Perform Benefit/Cost Analysis and use resource allocation principles when making maintenance decisions
  • Apply Failure Mode & Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis to manage risk systematically
  • Compute Risk Priority Numbers and use the Criticality Matrix to prioritise maintenance activities
  • Create system reliability models based on series, parallel, and redundancy concepts
  • Comprehend ERP and MRP systems, including Bills of Materials and Master Production Schedules
  • Optimise maintenance policies by using CMMS data and the features of next-generation maintenance systems
  • Convert operational data into actionable maintenance decisions through established analytical approaches

Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The Decision Analysis Course for Operation & Maintenance Professionals follows a progressive learning format centred on practical application. Every day focuses on a separate area of decision analysis — beginning with fundamental concepts and advancing to CMMS optimisation and frameworks that convert data into decisions.

Case studies based on real situations and collaborative exercises are incorporated throughout, enabling delegates to relate analytical tools directly to the issues encountered within their own operations.

Delivery approaches include:

  • Instructor-led sessions addressing decision analysis frameworks, reliability principles, and risk management tools
  • Case studies and group activities used from Day 1 to strengthen learning through realistic operational situations
  • AHP implementation workshops guiding delegates step by step through multiple criteria decision analysis
  • FMEA and Fault Tree Analysis activities building practical capabilities in risk identification and prioritisation
  • Reliability modelling sessions examining series, parallel, and redundancy system arrangements
  • Practical ERP and MRP examples illustrating how planning systems contribute to maintenance decisions
  • CMMS optimisation workshops concentrating on gaining the greatest decision value from existing maintenance data
  • Data-to-decision activities supporting delegates in converting operational data into structured maintenance policies

Frequently Asked Questions

The course covers decision analysis in the context of operation and maintenance. Its stated focus is prioritisation and multiple criteria decision making. It examines how these decision-making concepts relate to professional O&M responsibilities.
You will learn about prioritisation and multiple criteria decision making for operation and maintenance contexts. The course centres on decision analysis rather than a single technical O&M discipline. Specific tools, methods and lesson topics are not listed in the provided course information.
Multiple criteria decision making is one of the course’s main areas of focus. It relates to analysing decisions where more than one criterion needs to be considered. The course places this topic within an operation and maintenance setting.
Yes, the course is specifically framed for operation and maintenance professionals. Its decision analysis content is connected to prioritisation and multiple criteria decision making in that professional context. No particular industry, asset type or maintenance discipline is specified.
This course is intended for operation and maintenance professionals. It is relevant to people whose work involves evaluating priorities and making decisions based on multiple criteria. No more specific job roles or entry requirements are provided in the course information.
Prioritisation is a central theme of the course. It is presented as part of decision analysis for operation and maintenance professionals. The available course information does not specify a particular prioritisation framework or technique.
The course focuses on skills related to decision analysis, prioritisation and considering multiple criteria. These skills are framed for use by operation and maintenance professionals. The provided information does not identify additional technical or software-based skills.
No specific method or software tool is identified in the provided course information. The stated subject areas are prioritisation and multiple criteria decision making. Any detailed frameworks, calculations or software applications are not specified.
