Hello everyone and welcome to the certified preventative maintenance or CPM course. My name is Lou Friscoe

00:00:07.233 --> 00:00:13.266
and I have been involved with preventative maintenance for over 25 years now. I started my career in the United States

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:19.533
Navy as an aviation structural mechanic working on P3 aircraft performing periodic and preventative

00:00:19.566 --> 00:00:25.766
maintenance on a daily occurrence. I stayed in the U.S. Navy for 23 years working on a multitude

00:00:25.766 --> 00:00:32.566
of different aircraft. I retired in 2019 and became the director of facility operations

00:00:32.566 --> 00:00:38.632
and maintenance for a company that oversees U.S. government facilities. I currently have 17

00:00:38.666 --> 00:00:44.566
different locations nationwide that I oversee encompassing over 250 buildings and each

00:00:44.966 --> 00:00:51.699
building requires preventative maintenance in their own unique way. My teams have a very diverse background.

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:57.733
We have custodians, landscapers, HVAC mechanics, engineers, electricians,

00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:04.566
computer aid designers, space management planners, plumbers, elevator technicians and

00:01:04.566 --> 00:01:10.699
so on. Every trade you could pretty much think of. This program is designed to strengthen

00:01:10.733 --> 00:01:16.266
your understanding of how effective preventative maintenance directly improves equipment reliability

00:01:16.866 --> 00:01:23.299
reduces downtime and supports a safer, more efficient operation. Across 11 focus modules,

00:01:23.433 --> 00:01:29.633
you'll learn how to plan, perform, and document maintenance tasks using industry standard methods and

00:01:29.666 --> 00:01:35.666
modern reliability tools. We'll start with the fundamentals of preventative maintenance and

00:01:35.666 --> 00:01:41.499
service level expectations. Then move into asset management, inspection technique, lubrication,

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.033
electrical system care, and critical mechanical practices. You'll also learn how to

00:01:48.066 --> 00:01:54.099
use that to drive smarter decisions, identify root causes of failure, and continuously improve

00:01:54.100 --> 00:02:00.100
your maintenance plans. Each module includes clear objectives, practical examples, and

00:02:00.100 --> 00:02:06.166
real-world applications to help you build confidence and consistency. By the end of this course,

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:11.900
you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to maintain assets proactively, extend the equipment life,

00:02:12.366 --> 00:02:20.099
and contribute to a high performance maintenance culture. Good luck, and thank you for participating.
