Course Introduction

Reliable operation of the rotating equipment in any plant is its life blood. Engineers must have an integrated viewpoint focusing on it through design, operation and maintenance.

Rotating equipment.

This course comprehensively presents from such an integrated viewpoint state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies for improving reliability of rotating equipment. Topics include reliability basics; maintenance philosophies and strategies, their relationships to each other, and their effective application; machinery condition monitoring; machinery condition assessment and asset management; effective fault diagnosis techniques; failure mode and causal analysis; life-cycle strategies to promote increased reliability; reliability improvement program development and implementation including structure and personnel considerations; and business ramifications of reliability improvement. 

lectures and workshop

The course will comprise lectures and workshop to maximize your benefits. Additionally, an optional “Question and Answer” period is included to provide you with opportunity to get expert answers on your specific questions.
