Course Presenter (s):

Prof. Ashraf W. Labib BSc, MBA, MSc, PhD

Professor Labib in the Manufacturing Division, Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Manafacturing Engineering at a leading UK university. The Department has been rated 5A in the past three Research Assessment Exercises (RAEs). He holds a BSc in Production Engineering, MBA, MSc in integrated manufacturing systems and a PhD in maintenance systems.



His research work focuses on Asset Management, Manufacturing Maintenance Systems, Best Practice and Decision-Making. In particular, he is concerned with the analysis of data related to machine failures and design and to the development of Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) that model the manufacturing environment, collect data in real-time, perform relative comparisons and provide decision support to different levels within industrial enterprises. He is active in the field of WorldClass Maintenance, RCM, TPM and intelligent manufacturing systems.
