Introduction
Why do we have safety or environmental incidents? Why do we suffer mission failures or production shortfalls? Is there a relationship between maintenance costs and system availability? Can you improve operational performance and reduce maintenance costs at the same time? If you are a manager, supervisor, engineer, logistics specialist an academic or other professional seeking an answer to any of these questions, this workshop will be able to help you. It is aimed at people with a stake in Operational Success working in Defence Services, Manufacturing Plants, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Oil & Gas, Railway, Paper Industries, Contractors and other Service providers. You will learn ways to improve the performance of your plant as a result of better reliability and availability of your facilities. Effective maintenance is the key, not merely more maintenance. Investing effectively in maintenance can help you to reduce the risk of HSE incidents, mission failures or loss of production due to equipment unavailability. In this workshop, you will learn a logical and structured approach to achieve your (organization's) objectives. Implementation of the results of the analysis is, of course, the key to reaping the benefits. The analysis is the easy bit; implementing the results always poses challenges. So we will see how to grind away at the hard parts - writing new maintenance routines, scheduling work, then doing it on time, recording history, and hopefully, getting rewarded. Finally, we will see how to implement change successfully. For this, we need to understand critical success factors, change management, the importance of good communication and how to track progress. Sustained improvement needs a process to hold the gains. The structure and content of this workshop will help you formulate action plans that can significantly improve safety, production, and mission success and cost performance.
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 Centred 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.
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.
Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for all Engineers and technical staff involved in the operation, maintenance or engineering tasks.
