COURSE OVERVIEW:

The core meaning of this course is the translation of engineering theory into practical maintenance strategies that maximize asset life and minimize risk. Reliability Engineering is often perceived as a field of complex mathematics, but its fundamental principles are essential for any professional responsible for physical assets. This course focuses on the "Core Competencies" required to apply reliability concepts to everyday maintenance decisions, from equipment selection to failure analysis.

The scope of this training involves the fundamental concepts of "Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability" (RAM) and the physics of failure. Participants will examine how to read "Failure Curves" and use them to determine if a maintenance task is likely to succeed or fail. The curriculum emphasizes the "Design-for-Reliability" mindset, ensuring that maintenance professionals can influence the procurement and installation phases to prevent future problems before they are "built-in" to the plant.

Coverage includes the basic statistical tools needed to trend "Bad Actors," the principles of "Condition Monitoring," and the fundamentals of "Root Cause Analysis." Attendees will explore the concept of "Life Cycle Costing" and how it differs from traditional budgeting. By the end of this course, participants will be able to speak the "Language of Reliability," allowing them to communicate technical needs in terms of risk and business value to their senior leadership.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the core concepts of "Reliability," "Availability," and "Maintainability."
• Interpret the "Bathtub Curve" and its implications for maintenance strategy.
• Calculate basic "Mean Time Between Failures" (MTBF) and "Mean Time To Repair" (MTTR).
• Understand the "Physics of Failure" for mechanical and electrical components.
• Apply "Reliability Block Diagrams" to identify system vulnerabilities.
• Utilize "FMEA" (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) for task selection.
• Differentiate between "Proactive" and "Reactive" maintenance cultures.
• Explain the "P-F Interval" and its role in Condition Monitoring.
• Evaluate "Life Cycle Costs" (LCC) for equipment replacement decisions.
• Participate effectively in "Root Cause Failure Analysis" (RCFA) teams.
• Utilize "CMMS Data" to drive maintenance improvement initiatives.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is essential for Maintenance Supervisors, Planners, Lead Technicians, Junior Reliability Engineers, and Operations Coordinators.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
