It involves the use of fundamental safeguarding of asset management principles. This philosophy is called the results oriented maintenance. They follow other philosophies such as reliability centered maintenance, total productivity maintenance, total quality management and six sigma.

Product development training programs involve extensive range of workshops to provide practical training in new product development, as well as training regarding practices and concepts of concurrent engineering (CE), integrated product development (IPD), integrated product and process development (IPPD) and different methods and tools to assist in product development.
