Effective time management is one of the most critical aspects of successful project execution, especially in the maintenance field where delays can have costly operational consequences. This mid- to advanced-level training program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, equips participants with advanced tools and techniques to plan, monitor, and control project schedules with a focus on reliability and operational efficiency.
Tailored for professionals in the Maintenance Department, this course enables participants to manage time-sensitive activities within complex environments, aligning project delivery with operational continuity and resource optimization. By the end of this program, maintenance professionals will be proficient in advanced scheduling techniques, critical path analysis, delay management, and applying international best practices in project time management.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
Apply best practices in time management as per PMI PMBOK® Guide and industry standards.
Analyze project schedules using Critical Path Method (CPM) and other advanced techniques.
Develop and update detailed project schedules aligned with maintenance operations.
Mitigate delays and implement recovery strategies effectively.
Integrate time management with maintenance planning and resource constraints.
Use project management software tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera P6) to track and control time.
Interactive Lectures with real-world examples from maintenance projects.
Group Exercises and case studies tailored to maintenance and engineering scenarios.
Hands-on Tools Practice using scheduling software like Microsoft Project and Primavera P6.
Simulation and Role Play for risk and delay scenarios.
Peer-to-peer Discussions for knowledge sharing and benchmarking.
By attending this program, participants will enable their organizations to:
Improve the accuracy and reliability of maintenance project timelines.
Reduce project delays and cost overruns through effective schedule control.
Enhance coordination across departments by integrating time schedules with maintenance activities.
Strengthen the project delivery capability of maintenance teams.
Improve client and stakeholder satisfaction through timely project completion.
