Condition Monitoring technologies are developing at a rapid rate
and a massive range of solutions is available. There are plenty of experts and vendors who know a lot about particular techniques. However, there seem to be too few people who have a good general
overview of the range of techniques available.
Some users end up buying solutions that do not give buisness
benefits. Perhaps this is because the business benefits were not considered (sometimes purchases are driven by people who are keen on the technology but do not address the business case), sometimes
the solutions do not provide a technically feasible solution. In other cases the alternatives were not considered.
Buyers need to be in control. They need to consider all alternatives. They need to make sure the
solutions selected are technically feasible, but also that they are worth doing, in other words that they they add value to the business. They need to know the sorts of questions to ask the
experts.
The following condition-based techniques are covered in the course:
- The Human senses
- Product Quality Monitoring
- Performance Monitoring
- Dynamic effects monitoring (including vibration analysis)
- Particle analysis
- Chemical analysis
- Temperature effects monitoring
- Physical effects monitoring
- Electrical effects monitoring
Learning points are reinforced by examples. Discussion and engagement are strongly encouraged. Exercises are used at several stages to ensure main points have been assimilated. In these exercises
delegates have to select appropriate condition based techniques, compare different techniques to
determine which is most cost effective, and evaluate the economics of investment decisions
One of the exercises takes the delegates through
the selection and evaluation of condition based maintenance options in an award-winning application of RCM (referenced elsewhere on this website - see Case Studies section). In other words, the
examples are real tife examples, not hypothetical ones.
All delegates will receive a comprenensive set of
notes
The course would normally be run at your site, but off site courses can be arranged if necessary
Tha maximum number of delegates is 16
