Course Description
Prescriptive maintenance is the next step beyond prediction: where predictive maintenance forecasts when a failure will occur, prescriptive maintenance recommends what action to take, when, and why. Powered by AI decision-support systems, it closes the loop from insight to optimal action.
This course explores how AI moves maintenance from predictive to prescriptive — combining failure prediction with optimisation, business rules, and decision support to recommend the best intervention considering cost, risk, and operational context. Participants learn the concepts, enabling technologies, and organisational changes required to adopt prescriptive maintenance.
What you will achieve
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish reactive, preventive, predictive, and prescriptive maintenance
- Explain how AI enables prescriptive decision support
- Combine failure prediction with optimisation and business rules
- Recommend interventions considering cost, risk, and context
- Understand the enabling technologies for prescriptive maintenance
- Integrate prescriptive maintenance with planning and scheduling
- Assess organisational readiness for prescriptive maintenance
- Build a roadmap from predictive to prescriptive
How the course is delivered
The course combines prescriptive maintenance concepts with decision-support examples and optimisation scenarios. Participants explore how prediction, optimisation, and business rules combine into recommended actions.
The programme emphasises the shift from insight to action and the organisational changes prescriptive maintenance requires.
