Industry 4.0 Training Lifts Maintenance at Canadian Mining Company

Background

A diversified mining company wanted to modernize fast. They saw that stronger maintenance and reliability skills were the key to safer, smarter operations.

Challenge

1. Upgrade maintenance and reliability practices to match new digital systems.
2. Build asset management knowledge in mid-level managers so they could plan better and speak a common language with plant teams and leadership.

Approach

Jeruel Global, a Learn 4.0 LLC company, built a tailored "Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices + Exam Prep" program aligned to the SMRP 5 Pillars and ISO 55000. The design favored practice over theory, with short lessons, hands-on tasks, and quick checks for understanding.

Program highlights

• Asset strategy and lifecycle planning tied to business risk.
• Risk assessment and investment planning that support better decisions.
• Equipment reliability and work management grounded in daily plant reality.
• Clear links to ISO 55000 so managers could use the right terms and methods.
• Communication skills to brief stakeholders, defend trade-offs, and gain alignment.
• Pre-tests, case work, and practical modules to lock in learning.

Implementation

Delivery ran in phases to avoid production impact. A cohort of mid-level managers worked through guided exercises, quizzes, and job-ready templates they could take back to site.

Results

• Maintenance practices became more consistent and future-ready, in line with Industry 4.0 goals.
• Operational processes tightened, with better risk calls and cleaner lifecycle plans.
• Communication improved between management and technical teams, so decisions moved faster and stuck.

Bottom line

Stronger managers. Clearer plans. Safer, steadier operations.
