Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices
Engineering and Technical Programs
Introduction
lower revenues due to
lower commodity prices have placed equipment life-cycle costs under the
management spotlight like never before. Maintainers are faced with the
challenge of delivering the same levels of equipment safety, reliability and
availability with smaller budgets. This Maintenance Engineering training course
on Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices introduces the practical tools
and practices that organisations need to adopt to drive down their equipment
life-cycle costs in practical ways.
This Maintenance Engineering training course emphasizes the most effective strategies, policies, tactics and practices that are needed to ensure the reliability, integrity and durability of the physical assets through their life cycle.
Course Objective
·
Understand the behavior and
events that are driving costs.
· Understand how poor reliability a major factor in the cost equation is.
·
Implementing a PM program to
improve reliability.
·
Implement root cause analysis to
eliminate defects.
· Apply best practice work management to ensure early detection and correction of defects.
