Advanced Machinery Failure Analysis and Prevention

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.

Top Learning Objectives

  • Protect and enhance values of your plant machinery with field-proven failure analysis techniques, condition monitoring technologies and reliability centered maintenance
  • Develop root cause analysis techniques for providing next generation proactive maintenance, eliminating recurring faults and failures, and delivering maximum business benefits
  • Discover the most effective risk assessment techniques for machinery failures and advanced risk-based machinery inspection for achieving maximum uptime and minimising risks
