Machinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
At the end of this course participants will have:
- An understanding of a range of Predictive Maintenance Technologies
- Knowledge of the potential contribution of each these technologies to maintenance efficiency
- Guidelines indicating how these technologies can interact with and support each other
- Hints and Tips for practical application of these technologies so as to achieve the best results
- A practical approach to developing an action plan to utilize these technologies in their own areas of responsibility, fitting them into the overall maintenance strategy, and measuring benefits
Key Benefits, The knowledge gained in this course will:
- Enable the delegate to develop a proactive maintenance regime within the organization.
- Give the delegate confidence to carry out failure analyses thereby avoiding repetitive failures.
- Allow tighter control of maintenance budgets by the avoidance of unplanned equipment failures in service.
