Machinery Failure, Vibration & Predictive Maintenance
Objectives
- An understanding of Machine Failure Analysis techniques
- 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 utilise these technologies in their own areas of responsibility, fitting them into the overall maintenance strategy, and measuring benefits.
Who Should Attend?
- Supervisors
- Team Leader and
- Professionals in Maintenance, Engineering and Production
The seminar will also benefit anyone who wishes to update themselves on Predictive Maintenance Technologies and Failure Analysis techniques, as well as those who have to judge the suitability of these technologies for their needs, and learn how to implement them for the benefit of their organisations.
