Course description
Maintenance and Reliability Improvement
Two courses, each a one day event
- Root Cause Analysis
- Failure Modes & Effects and Criticality Analysis
Today UK industry must be as efficient as possible to compete in the global market place. A key driver for this is the reliability of the plant assets.
Despite a background of ageing plant, tighter legislation and the drive to reduce costs while increasing output, engineers are still expected to improve the reliability of plant equipment. The course outlines the main methods you can use to understand current and potential causes of equipment reliability and the maintenance methods you can use to address them. You will be coached by ABB reliability consultants who, as well as being acknowledged experts in their field, also have a background in front-line maintenance management.
Suitability - Who should attend?
Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Anyone wanting a proven method for identifying the root cause of a problem in their tool bag
Failure Modes & Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
Those needing methods for:
- Prioritising reliability improvement work
- Identifying potential failures and appropriate preventive activities
These courses will be particularly valuable for:
- Maintenance and engineering managers
- Plant engineers and reliability engineers
- Plant / operations managers
- Technicians
- Supervisors and operators involved in improving plant uptime
Outcome / Qualification etc.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
What will you learn:
- How to define a problem clearly
- How to apply the ‘5 Whys’ RCA process
- How to record the RCA process using a cause tree diagram
- How to eliminate incorrect causes and find the primary cause of a problem
Failure Modes & Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
What will you learn:
- How to play an active part in an equipment criticality analysis
- How to select the appropriate criteria to apply
- How to use the results of the analysis
- How and when to apply the FMECA process
- An appreciation of FMEA and when to apply it instead of FMECA
- How to use FMECA and Failure Modes & Effects Anaylsis (FMEA) to develop effective equipment maintenance policies
