Machinery Failure Analysis

The demand for better productivity, availability, and reliability in organizations has been rising every year. Effective work processes are essential allies in this endeavor, as everyone contributes to implementing better work practices.

When dealing with assets related to production processes, it is crucial to utilize them optimally. The mentioned indicators serve as benchmarks, guiding us towards continuously updated practices to achieve increasingly better results.

An invaluable ally in achieving best work practices is the “Fault Analysis” methodology. This approach, a key aspect of “Maintenance Engineering,” involves the ongoing effort to identify root causes of problems, determine preventive actions, and resolve issues that negatively impact performance indicators in process areas. This methodology is characterized by its execution through multidisciplinary teams. This technique fosters a conducive environment for creative work.

With the aim of allowing participants to have an overview of best practices for identifying the real root causes, so that the action plan with the necessary improvements is assertive.

Top Learning Objectives

  • Protect and enhance values of your plant machinery with field-proven failure analysis techniques, condition monitoring technologies and reliability centered maintenance
