Objectives: 

This course presents a systematic approach to fault and failure prevention in a broad range of machinery. The key routes to maintenance cost avoidance are demonstrated through a brief overview of metallurgical failure analysis and by describing a sequential approach to machinery troubleshooting and problem solving.. 

Who should attend? 

• Maintenance Engineers 
• Supervisors
• Technicians. 

Course Outline: 

• Failure definitions and types of failure
• Establishing a Root Cause Failure Analysis program
• When to initiate investigation
• RCFA investigation methodology
• Cost/benefit evaluation and performance metrics
• Review of machinery and component failure modes
• Case Histories 

WORKSHOP STYLE: 

A mixture of short presentations, interactive discussion, individual exercises and group work. The emphasis throughout is on a practical approach using case material and examples.
