Overview:

There is no doubt that maintenance has changed, and evolved, over the last century, and particularly during more recent years. There are a number of reasons for this, but mainly this is due to the increase in the number, variety and technology of assets (plant and equipment). Demands on costs, time and therefore reliability have increased and methods of maximising reliability are constantly being developed and tested.

Safety and environmental impacts are increasingly moving to the forefront, particularly following some major events in recent history – Piper Alpha oil rig fire, Deepwater Horizon well blowout and Buncefield tank farm explosion to name a few. Is maintenance to blame?

Maintenance is adapting to these changes and people are have to adapt with them including technicians, engineers and managers.

Focus:

This course will provide you with an introduction to maintenance, where it came from and where it is going. It will also help you to understand the different maintenance strategies that could be employed along with the latest approaches, tools and techniques and options available to you and your teams to improve safety, reliability and ultimately profit.

1. Reliability  
   • measures and steps required to address reliability issues
2. Maintenance strategies
   • approaches, tools and techniques available, their strengths and weaknesses and areas of application
3. Review and assess maintenance plans –
   • establishing asset importance and priorities using criticality assessment approaches
   • failure analysis, risk based maintenance techniques including FMECA
   • continuous improvement of maintenance plans and performance
4. Management of maintenance
   • planning and scheduling to deliver the work load with the effective use of resources
   • Spare parts and inventory management
5. Pro-active maintenance  
   • developing a culture through training, development and change management
6. The future of maintenance optimisation
   • developments and technology
