Conventional management approaches are often destructive - ruining efforts to operate equipment and systems reliably and sustainably.  This Masterclass will introduce new concepts about equipment and human behaviour and how to apply them effectively.  Many maintenance management practices are based on knowledge of both equipment and human behaviour as it was 30 years ago.  A lot has changed since then but maintenance approaches haven't always been able to keep up.
