RELIABILITY BASED MAINTENANCE

ABOUT THE COURSE

Asset owners today are faced with the constant challenge to reduce cost while continuously improving plant availability and reliability. But unexpected failure and loss are still prevalent and sometimes the maintenance regime itself can be the cause of failure and loss as it creates uncertainty and introduces damaged mechanisms. Therefore, adopting the correct maintenance strategy is vital for a business to achieve the balance between equipment performance, availability and the cost of maintenance. Delegates will understand why a reliability based maintenance strategy is beneficial and its practical applications. Moreover, it is going to focus on business oriented reliability based maintenance and teach practical tools & techniques based on industry best practice. The content is designed to encourage interaction and learning through real life examples.
