Course Objectives:

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Introduction to Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)

• Understand the principles and benefits of Condition-Based Maintenance.
• Differentiate between CBM, Predictive Maintenance (PdM), Preventive Maintenance (PM), and Reactive Maintenance.
• Learn about industries where CBM is most effective (power plants, oil & gas, manufacturing, etc.).

2. Core Technologies Used in CBM

• Learn key monitoring techniques used in Condition-Based Maintenance:
• Vibration Analysis (detecting imbalance, misalignment, and bearing faults).
• Infrared Thermography (identifying overheating in electrical and mechanical systems).
• Ultrasonic Testing (detecting leaks, steam traps, and electrical arcing).
• Oil and Lubricant Analysis (monitoring contamination and wear in rotating equipment).
• Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) (assessing motor and generator health).
• Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) for Transformers (detecting internal faults).

3. Implementing a CBM Program

• Learn how to design and implement a CBM strategy in an industrial setting.
• Establish data collection procedures, trending methods, and thresholds for maintenance interventions.
• Integrate CBM with existing maintenance strategies (Preventive, Predictive, and Reliability-Centered Maintenance).

4. Data Acquisition and IoT-Based Condition Monitoring

• Understand the role of IoT, AI, and cloud-based systems in CBM.
• Learn about real-time condition monitoring using sensors and wireless technologies.
• Explore Machine Learning and AI-driven predictive analytics for smarter maintenance.

5. Reliability, Risk Assessment, and Compliance

• Learn how CBM improves Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
• Understand how CBM reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 55000 (Asset Management), ISO 14224 (Reliability Data Collection), and IEC/IEEE Reliability Standards.

6. Case Studies and Troubleshooting Techniques

• Analyze real-world CBM case studies from various industries.
• Learn failure root cause analysis techniques using CBM data.
• Develop a CBM improvement plan for continuous reliability enhancement.
