Duration

Description

This course is designed to teach reliability engineering skills as
they apply to improving process system reliability and developing maintenance
strategies. You will use modern software and analysis methods to perform
statistical analysis of failures and model system performance, plus develop
maintenance and reengineering strategies to improve overall performance.

Who should Attend

Maintenance, engineering, and operations personnel involved in
improving reliability, availability, condition monitoring, and maintainability
of process equipment and systems.

Participants should have foundation skills in statistical analysis
and reliability techniques for equipment.

What you will learn

·        
Improving reliability in new facilities/systems

·        
Reliability design for maintainability

·        
Developing initial maintenance strategies

·        
Virtual equipment walk-down; criticality using
simulation and modeling; developing baseline condition monitoring programs;
developing lubrication programs; and developing process-specific maintenance
strategies with reliability-centered maintenance (RCM)

·        
Improving reliability in existing facilities/systems

·        
Analyzing process reliability plots to determine the
amount of opportunity

·        
Continuous improvement through failure reporting,
analysis, and corrective action
systems (FRACAS)

·        
Developing policies and procedures; developing failure
reporting codes; statistical analysis of failures using Weibull; and developing
root cause analysis (RCA) programs
(triggers for RCA and analyzing recommendations)

·        
Developing maintenance strategies with condition monitoring

·        
Identifying applicable condition monitoring methods;
using criticality to determine
level of condition monitoring application; and reporting asset health

·        
Developing maintenance strategies with RCM

·        
Developing policies and procedures; identifying
systems for analysis; analyzing recommendations with simulation and modeling;
and implementing recommendations

·        
Monitoring results

Understanding the true purpose of key performance
indicators (KPIs)

·        
Developing appropriate reliability and
maintainability KPIs
