Revisiting Return on Investment for Maintenance/Asset Management Improvement
An iPresentation Tutorial by Terry Wireman, GenesisSolutions
As organizations progress from reactive practices to “Best Practices” in their maintenance/ asset management, the return on investment for the transition becomes scalable. In the beginning organizations focus only on their maintenance function, but as they mature, they refocus on the impact of maintenance and the resultant increase in asset productivity and performance. This change of focus defines the transition from maintenance management to asset management. The return on investment for mature organizations needs to be clearly understood. Join noted Maintenance Expert and Author, Terry Wireman for a 39 minute iPresentation Tutorial on Understanding Return on Investment for Maintenance/Asset Management Improvement.
