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

This training provides participants with fundamental principles for creating a maintenance plan based on failure modes, balancing risks and investments. Attendees will understand the value of applying and integrating predictive maintenance technologies. The session includes a practical exercise to apply failure mode analysis methodologies.

• Principles and power of predictive and forecast-based maintenance
• Failure modes, effects, and causes
• Methodologies for failure mode analysis
• Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)
• Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
• Asset Health Assurance (AHA)
• Prerequisites for building a maintenance plan:
  • Asset and equipment catalog
  • Criticality analysis
• Building an asset health matrix
• How to strike the right balance between preventive and predictive maintenance
• How to integrate the maintenance plan into your preventive task program
• Introduction to predictive technologies:
  • Ultrasound inspection
  • Infrared thermography
  • Oil analysis
  • Motor current signature analysis
  • Vibration analysis
• Identifying failure modes detectable via condition-based maintenance techniques
• Outsourcing strategy for predictive maintenance: weighing pros and cons
• Engaging employees in the predictive maintenance approach and training
• Identifying hardware and software requirements for predictive maintenance
• Best practices for monitoring frequency
• What is asset health and how is it measured?

This training is intended for managers, reliability engineers, and supervisors responsible for designing and implementing maintenance strategies.

This training course is delivered by one of the trainers from Technical Associates of Europe, the training department of I-Care and a recognized centre of expertise in maintenance, reliability, and predictive maintenance for industrial assets.

The trainers are experienced professionals with extensive hands-on experience in a wide range of industrial environments. They combine in-depth technical knowledge with a strong focus on practical applicability. Their expertise covers, among others, maintenance strategy, vibration analysis, ultrasound measurements, lubrication management, oil analysis, and mechanical interventions such as alignment and balancing. Their approach bridges advanced technology and the day-to-day reality of maintenance and reliability teams, with the aim of delivering sustainable and effective improvements.
