TRAIN IN MAIN is a Leonardo da Vinci project aiming to embed the key principles of maintenance successfully within small or large organisations and it is expected that when this is achieved, the impact upon their competitive position will be considerable. The efforts made so far on training in maintenance are fragmentary and superficial, using mainly a theoretical approach and therefore providing methodologies unfeasible to be implemented. This is exactly the gap TRAIN IN MAIN consortium has identified and aims to fill in utilizing the theoretical knowledge of academic institutions, enriched with the valuable experience of consultants and companies maintenance people, to develop an integrated training model adjusted to the special needs and weaknesses of the European companies in order to make them more competitive. The realization of the benefits that arise from maintenance strategies implementation through the use of strategic, financial and recording tools and of the way all these should be adjusted according to their own company needs (self audit tools), will be the means to this achievement.
