COURSE OVERVIEW:

The fundamental meaning of this course is the professional management of workshop assets, including lathes, milling machines, grinders, and CNC equipment, to ensure precision and reliability. Workshops are the "Engine Room" of maintenance, providing the capability to repair or fabricate critical components. This course focuses on the transition from "General Use" to "Precision Engineering," emphasizing the technical care required to maintain the accuracy and safety of stationary workshop machinery.

The scope of this training involves the "Total Productive Maintenance" (TPM) approach applied to workshop equipment. Participants will examine the lubrication requirements, alignment standards, and safety guarding for various machining centers. The curriculum emphasizes the "Operational Precision" of the machinery, teaching attendees how to identify "Backlash," "Spindle Runout," and "Bed Wear" before these issues compromise the quality of the repaired industrial components.

Coverage includes the management of "Tooling Inventories," the implementation of "5S" for workshop organization, and the technical standards for machinery installation and leveling. Attendees will explore the specific safety hazards of workshop operations, including "Chip Management" and "Coolant Maintenance." By the end of this program, participants will be able to manage a world-class workshop facility that delivers high-quality machining services while maintaining a zero-incident safety record.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Define the technical "Lifecycle" of workshop machinery management.
• Implement "TPM" (Total Productive Maintenance) for workshop assets.
• Conduct "Accuracy Checks" on lathes and milling machines (Runout and Parallelism).
• Manage "Lubrication Programs" for specialized workshop gearboxes and slides.
• Implement "Machine Guarding" and "Emergency Stop" safety standards.
• Utilize "5S" principles to optimize workshop layout and tool accessibility.
• Manage "Coolant Chemistry" and waste disposal for machining operations.
• Identify "Wear Patterns" in machine beds and lead screws.
• Establish "Standard Operating Procedures" (SOPs) for each machine type.
• Manage "Tooling and Insert" inventory for maximum productivity.
• Conduct "Leveling and Alignment" procedures for newly installed machinery.
• Develop a "Preventive Maintenance" schedule for the workshop fleet.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for Workshop Managers, Mechanical Foremen, Machinists, Maintenance Engineers, and Workshop Safety Officers.

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.
