Training Course Syllabus:

Purpose of Seminar:

Inventory Control for Maintenance means having the right product and materials when you need it and where you need it. Having too much material, not enough material or having to search for the material leads to higher costs and can mean longer downtimes, not to mention the frustration!

This course focuses on building an inventory management system that will lead to better control through optimization of inventory quantities, organization of inventory and access to inventory. Having the right data and implementing procedural controls for your inventory will help maximize the value of every dollar spent on maintenance and reduce the time it takes to have the right part on hand when you need it.

By the end of this seminar, students will be able to go back to their facility and immediately apply what they learned to help implement a system that organizes their inventory and lowers their inventory costs. Training like this never costs-it pays!

About our Instructors:

"Real World Training...for Real World Needs" is not just our slogan, but also our mission statement. At American Trainco, we approach our students as if they were our own employees. We instruct them and guide them in practical knowledge that allows them to immediately go back to their workplace and apply what they have learned. Our instructors are seasoned veterans with years of real world experience, and the students who attend our seminars often get more from a single week of training than an entire year of reading textbooks or watching videos. How do we know? They tell us.

Anyone can teach theory, but there simply is no substitute for experience. What sets American Trainco apart is our ability to communicate that experience into the brains of our students. As one attendee told us at the end of his two-day training course, "I think I can go back to work now and teach the veterans a thing or two."


Mission Accomplished.

All American Trainco instructors are required to have a formal education and real world work experience. They need to be leaders in their field. We don't hire field people without teaching experience, and we don't hire teachers without field experience. They must have both. And since attendees critique the instructor at the end of each class, a positive and enjoyable learning experience is virtually guaranteed.


Additional information about this course:

UNAFFILIATED and NON-COMMERCIAL

Unlike some training experiences, you won't get a sales presentation at an American Trainco seminar - all you get is an honest, commercially unbiased education. We do not engage in the practice of selling or promoting any other company's products or services, so you know that by attending one of our seminars, your time and money is well spent.


HIGH QUALITY PRESENTATIONS

From the start, we demanded that all our presentations would be lively, attractive, crisp and clear. Our instructors use state-of-the-art computers, projection equipment, and software to bring you a high quality visual experience.
