Measurement and quality in manufacturing, including the measurement and control of process parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow and humidity, which show the condition of equipment and inform the maintenance strategy. Covers the basics of measurement, instrument characteristics, measurement uncertainty, quality requirements in production and maintenance, monitoring the performance of maintenance and asset management systems, and the key performance indicators defined in The Global Metricators Guidebook – GloMe (2nd edition).
The legal framework and practical guidance for facility management (FM), and how digital technologies improve efficiency, sustainability and energy efficiency. Covers the Croatian laws and regulations on construction, maintenance and building management, and international standards for facility management and maintenance.
Concepts, trends and standards for computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS); criteria for choosing a system, including business needs, functionality, scalability, adaptability and integration; trends such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and analytics, mobile and remote working, and agile development. Includes practical skills for implementation, performance monitoring, troubleshooting and updates, with case studies.
New developments in maintaining technical systems, with a focus on condition-based maintenance, technical diagnostics and the Maintenance 5.0 concept. Covers criteria for successfully introducing digital technologies, the security challenges of digitalisation, and examples of good practice.
Managing physical assets in areas with explosive atmospheres and managing explosion-protected equipment over the life of technical systems, to avoid incidents, workplace accidents and harm to people and the environment.
