Advanced Rotating Equipment Maintenance and Reliability

Effective maintenance strategies and techniques for rotating equipment are currently saving industries of all sizes millions of dollars on machine maintenance every year.  This concept of saving large amounts on maintenance, however, may be tough for some to grasp.  Maintenance is the largest single controllable expenditure in a plant and in many companies, it often exceeds annual net profit.  The problem of costly maintenance has truly reached a serious level, but as some companies have found out and more come to realize every day, their maintenance costs can be cut drastically by establishing the correct maintenance strategies.

By attending the masterclass, you will learn how to apply the correct tool sets for effective maintenance management by applying the appropriate maintenance technique identified through conducting FMEA & RCA to understand how an asset may fail and how the failure can be prevented or the risk mitigated.  This interactive workshop is designed to explain the effective method of component condition monitoring for use as both a predictive maintenance and root cause analysis tool.  It also details the major failure causes, the world-class proven root cause analysis procedure with exercises and case histories, installation, pre-commissioning planning, functional testing and commissioning, precision maintenance strategies and more!

By attending this masterclass, in a short period of time, participants will be able to:

• Improve rotating equipment asset life and show improvements of between 10% - 20%
• Reduce rotating equipment maintenance costs by 10%- 30%
