What are the root causes of safety or environmental incidents? Why do mission failures or production shortfalls occur? Is there a connection between maintenance costs and system availability? Can operational performance be improved while simultaneously reducing maintenance costs? If you are a manager, supervisor, engineer, logistics specialist, academic, or other professional seeking answers to these questions, this workshop is designed to assist you.

This workshop is specifically aimed at individuals who have a vested interest in achieving operational success in various industries, including Defence Services, Manufacturing Plants, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Oil & Gas, Railway, Paper Industries, Contractors, and other Service providers. Participants will gain valuable insights into ways to enhance plant performance by improving the reliability and availability of facilities. The focus is on effective maintenance rather than simply increasing maintenance efforts.

By investing wisely in maintenance practices, organizations can mitigate the risks of HSE incidents, mission failures, or production losses due to equipment unavailability. Throughout the workshop, participants will learn a logical and structured approach to achieve their organizational objectives. It is important to note that implementing the results of the analysis is the crucial step in realizing the benefits. While the analysis itself may be relatively straightforward, implementing the findings always presents its own challenges.

Course Objectives:

Business success depends on how well we manage risk, so we begin with a discussion of quantitative and qualitative risks. Human failures are more difficult to manage, but they matter a lot, so we will address this subject in some detail. This leads us to pro-active and reactive ways to improve equipment reliability. You will learn about Root Cause Analysis, a powerful reactive problem-solving tool, and get a good understanding of where and how to apply the method. On the pro-active side, we will see how Reliability Centered Maintenance can help us plan our work and improve our equipment reliability significantly. While you should not expect to become RCA or RCM experts as a result of this workshop, you should certainly have a good understanding of both and know where to apply them.
