Preventive maintenance is one of the most powerful - but most misunderstood - drivers of equipment reliability. In many plants, PM tasks are unclear, inconsistent, outdated, or applied unevenly across teams. Preventive Maintenance Excellence: How to Standardize, Execute, and Improve PM Work gives you a complete, modern framework for transforming your PM program into a consistent, high-performing system that actually prevents failures and improves uptime.

Taught by internationally respected maintenance expert Joel Levitt, this course shows you how to eliminate vague tasks, remove guesswork, and create standardized PM routines that technicians can follow with confidence. You’ll learn how to write precise PM instructions, set correct frequencies, build effective job plans, and integrate predictive tools that catch failures earlier and reduce cost.

Through clear examples, field-proven templates, and a step-by-step improvement method, you’ll discover how to evaluate your current PM program, correct hidden weaknesses, and build ongoing PM excellence into your daily workflow. Whether your PMs are brand new or decades old, this course equips you to modernize, streamline, and elevate your entire maintenance strategy.
