Topics covered in this course will include:

Introduction to Reliability Engineering:

• What is reliability and what does it meant to your organisation?
• Why do we need Reliability?
• The journey of reliability and what it can deliver
• What Reliability tools are available?

 Root Cause Analysis (RCA) - Best Practice Defect Elimination:

• How RCA is a key tool for eliminating defects and an essential component of you asset management strategy
• RCA investigations – from 5 ‘whys’ to Cause and Effect Analysis
• What we need to investigate through trigger points?
• Identifying solutions to prevent and eliminate future reoccurrences

 Asset Maintenance Strategy Optimisation:

• Are you performing the right maintenance at the right frequency? How do you know?
• Why Equipment Criticality Analysis is important?
• What is Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)?
• Applying failure data to asset maintenance strategy optimisation
• Identifying failure modes that impact your plant and how to mitigate/eliminate them
• Improving effectiveness of existing maintenance strategies
• Building and simulating the optimised maintenance strategy
• Forecasting spares, resources, budgets and risks

 Work Management – Planning, Performance and Productivity:

• You have developed optimised maintenance strategies but now to execute them efficiently?
• Identifying best practices, methods and systems required to get the most from planning and scheduling to unlock resource capacity
• How accurate maintenance planning maximises tool time, resource and information availability
• How the performance of your work management process is a vital input to maintenance strategy optimisation
• Driving quality with high-quality planning and scheduling performance

 Tying it all together: A practical exercise is also undertaken by the class to incorporate reliability principles and methods
