LIVE WEBINAR
The Preventive Maintenance Lifecycle
How Training Drives Uptime,
Efficiency, and Reliability
Wednesday, May 21st | 11:00AM CST / 12:00PM EST
Unplanned downtime costs companies an average of $25,000 per hour — and for larger organizations, that number can skyrocket to 20 times higher. The good news? Much of that downtime is preventable. A strong preventive maintenance (PM) strategy can drastically reduce equipment failures, boost efficiency, and extend asset lifespan. But even the best plans fall apart without one critical component: a properly trained maintenance team.
Join Interplay Learning’s Head of Business and Learner Outcomes, Dan Clapper, as he walks through the entire Preventive Maintenance Lifecycle. From assessment and planning to execution and continuous improvement, Dan will reveal how training impacts every phase and show you how to turn your team into a powerful force for reliability and safety.
You’ll walk away with:
- The must-have elements of a high-performing preventive maintenance strategy
- How investing in training leads to fewer breakdowns, faster repairs, and safer operations.
- The practical next steps to upskill your maintenance team for better PM execution.
