Machinery Failure Analysis

Failure Analysis to ensure that the analyzed event will not repeat itself

OVERVIEW

Machinery failure analysis and prevention using structured and systematic approaches are critical for every successful plant. This course is designed to build competency in machinery failure analysis and prevention in order to enhance machinery reliability and availability and overall plant productivity. It covers all the fundamentals, systematic and structured practical approaches, methods and applications that a professional would use in carrying out fully functional plant maintenance. In summary, the course provides a step-by-step practical guide to best practices of machinery failure analysis and prevention that will deliver maximum business benefits.

This training course is based on 35 years of real-life industrial experience of the trainer in machinery failure analysis and prevention. The course covers:

  • Systematic and structured analysis of machinery functional and potential failures, hidden and evident failures, failure modes, effects and consequences
  • Advanced failure analysis techniques and 9 steps of the classical failure analysis
  • Advanced machinery fault diagnosis and optimum combination of proactive tasks and default actions for machinery failure prevention
  • A highly effective root cause analysis of machinery faults/failures providing next generation proactive maintenance
  • Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) and failure mode, effect and criticality analysis (FMECA)
  • Effective field-proven condition monitoring technologies (i.e. vibration, acoustic emission, infrared thermography and wear debris) that should be used to detect, locate, diagnose and assess severity of faults in machinery
  • The most effective risk assessment techniques for machinery faults/failures and principles of advanced risk-based inspection for machinery failure prevention
  • The best-of-class reliability centered maintenance, an efficient practical framework for machinery fault/failure prevention
  • Practical implementation of advanced methods/technologies for machinery failure analysis and prevention and root cause analysis of machinery fault/failure via 52 industrial case studies

Maintenance Planning, Scheduling, and Control

In an ever-increasing competitive industries like Manufacturing, Mining, Power and Utilities and Oil & Gas, the maintenance division is typically required by management to increase asset and equipment uptime with minor breakdowns and lower cost. For this type of situation, the maintenance departments feel the lack of resources. Work orders keeps coming in, but not many get done.

A study from SMRP shows that the average “wrench time” of available maintenance personnel is only 35%. It means that on an average day, an organization’s maintenance force only spends about 3 ½ hours on completing maintenance work. The remaining hours are wasted on gathering parts, travelling, meetings, breaks, and other “non-productive” activities that have nothing to do with working on asset and equipment maintenance.
Without proper planning and scheduling, maintenance is uncoordinated, costly and ineffective, leaving the team to fail in meeting deadlines. These failures will cause constant problems for the Operations department, who will become increasingly reluctant to release equipment in the future. This can directly contribute to higher maintenance cost, inadequate maintenance execution and rapidly deteriorating plant integrity.

Salvo Global’s 3-day course is designed to build advanced competency in maintenance planning and scheduling. The techniques that participants will learn in this course will allow for effective planning and scheduling of maintenance resources. The course covers all the fundamentals and advanced methods and applications that a suitably qualified professional would use in carrying out fully functional plant maintenance. In summary, the course provides a step-by-step practical guide to best practices of maintenance planning and scheduling that will essentially reduce maintenance costs and deliver maximum business benefits.

This training course is based on 35 years of real-life industrial experience of the trainer in maintenance planning and scheduling.
