Condition Based Maintenance, Awareness, Management and Applications
Condition Based Maintenance, Awareness, Management and Applications
About the course
Condition Based Maintenance is an increasingly used strategy for maintaining industrial assets, offering significant cost benefits when compared to time-based preventative maintenance and run-to-failure strategies.
To maximise these cost benefits a structured approach is required, and this course provides a tried and tested process which is applicable to any industry, providing maintenance managers, engineers, and planners with the conceptual and practical knowledge to implement successful Condition Monitoring and Condition Based Maintenance programmes.
The course covers important topics such as, when to apply Condition Based Maintenance, how often to monitor assets, how to choose between different data collection methods, including online / cloud based monitoring, the role and limitations of AI approaches, the requirement for consistency in data collection, how to set alarm and limit values, the importance of failure / root-cause analysis to secure feedback and create opportunities for continuous improvement of asset reliability and reductions in maintenance cost.
Optional courses cover a variety of condition monitoring technologies. Participants can select a mixture of these that are appropriate to their assets.
The course consists of 24hr of live sessions, split across multiple sessions, with the instructor. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account.
