Developing an effective maintenance plan through a combined preventive/predictive programme

Training
Reliability Engineering

The reliability of equipment depends directly on the tasks of the associated maintenance plan. We always wonder if we are doing too much, not enough: only preventive? Too much predictive? 

People factory

Reliability depends on the maintenance strategy; on a balanced ratio between predictive and preventive. The following training gives you the keys to define your strategy, based on equipment failure modes.

This course provides the fundamentals of creating a failure mode based maintenance plan that balances risk and investment. Participants will understand the value of applying and integrating predictive technologies in maintenance. The course is supported by a practical exercise to implement the failure mode analysis methodologies.
