MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY

DESCRIPTION:

This course teaches the fundamentals of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and focuses on preserving equipment functions by identifying appropriate Preventive Maintenance (PM) tasks, Predictive Maintenance (PdM) tasks, failure finding tasks, and other actions that protect against failure or mitigate the consequences of failure. Examples and exercises give participants hands-on experience to help them start to master RCM concepts.

RECOMMENDED AUDIENCE:

This course is recommended for maintenance managers, maintenance supervisors, reliability and maintenance engineers, maintenance technicians, production managers, production supervisors, operators, plant engineers, and others involved in operating and maintaining of assets.
