ERMS has been carefully designed for anyone who has a role in reliability including:
- Production and Maintenance leaders, supervisors, engineers, and lead hands
- Reliability leaders, managers and engineers
Prerequisites
Preface
In this course, students develop a practical understanding of the most commonly applied condition monitoring methodologies. Asset Strategy Development principles are advanced to apply the right technology, at the right time and place and with the right person. Students return to the plant with the ability to more effectively communicate with condition monitoring personnel, assist in effective performance audits of the current asset base and suggest improvements to monitoring strategies.
Objectives
The course begins with a practical view and a sequential approach to managing asset reliability risk with correct analysis techniques, problem resolution and correct documentation application. Students are presented with predictive technology condition monitoring analysis and field utilization techniques for vibration, ultrasound, infrared and oil analysis. Then, students are prepared with detailed condition assessment information and site application observation questions to assist in the evaluation of current monitoring systems effectiveness and efficiency. Finally, tips, tricks and ideas as how to best improve these various program results are presented.
Attendees return to the plant with the ability to more effectively communicate with condition monitoring personnel, assist in effective performance audits of the current asset base and suggest improvements to monitoring strategies.
