Profit margins are increasingly squeezed with decreasing commodity prices and labour costs, amidst all the bottlenecks in power, transport, infrastructure and more that is happening in South Africa. Analysts forecast the situation to improve overtime, albeit extremely slow, and it is imperative for existing businesses to cut costs. The challenge is not in cutting costs, but to reduce expenses and yet improve on the service level and reliability to meet existing business needs.

Salvo Global will be having an Engineering Series in Johannesburg, South Africa. Salvo Global’s 5-day practical Masterclass on Integrated Maintenance Cost and Budget Management and MRO Materials Optimisation and Rationalisation will impart practical knowledge not only in reducing expenses across all aspects of the maintenance process, but also in making sound financial analysis in all maintenance, materials and asset management decisions, bringing the organisation one step closer to ISO 55000. 

The series will consist of 2 parts, with the first one having a 3-day session. The first part is the Integrated Maintenance Cost and Budget Management Masterclass. This will be held from July 20-22, 2015. In this event, delegates will learn how to reduce costs and maintenance across all aspects of the maintenance processes; and yet provide the same or better service level to meet business objectives. Delegates will discover the new ISO 55000 for Asset Management and how to develop defensible maintenance budgets that is part of the requirement.

Meanwhile, the second part of the series is the MRO Materials Optimisation and Rationalisation Masterclass. This will be a 2-day session that will happen on July 23-24, 2015 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It will cover every aspect related to reducing MRO inventory and costs of spare parts and is supported by case studies, software and practical exercise to aid understanding. 

Directors, Heads, Managers, Officers, Senior Executives and Decision-makers in Maintenance, Planning, Inventory, Supply Chain, Asset Management, Reliability, Purchasing, Operations, etc. are all invited to attend these Training Masterclasses. The series will include case studies, group discussions, exercises, and a blend of international best practices that are applicable to the delegates’ companies.

As for the trainer, the trainer of this Masterclass is a highly recognized International Specialist Consultant and Trainer based in the United Kingdom, who has almost 50 years of experience in Maintenance, Reliability and Operations Management.
