Overview
A 4-week modular course emphasizes how an effective maintenance program represents a critical factor in enabling the organization to gain a competitive and strategic edge in an intensely competitive market. Increase the participants’ knowledge by obtaining the right techniques of technological systems and their cement plant’s reliability systems to improve the plant’s overall equipment effectiveness.
This course gives the participants a more in-depth knowledge of the maintenance engineering in a cement plant to learn the proper preventive maintenance, addressing essential cost-efficiency issues by focusing on the root cause and failure mode equipment analysis. The course program has been designed to outcome-based knowledge and skill covering real value parameters associated with cement plant maintenance activities.
Learning Outcomes
The Course program covers the different maintenance methods and challenges concerning Asset Condition Management: General maintenance aspects – Maintenance planning and scheduling – Materials management – Explain how predictive maintenance mitigates risk. Describe PdM theory, application, and safety factors. Recognize visual inspection as a component of PdM. Draft a predictive maintenance strategy. Compare your current PdM program to best practices. – Policies and strategies – Maintenance KPI’s – Availability factor and cost – Root causes analysis (Outline a 6-step root cause analysis process. Outline triggers for RCA efforts. Select and apply a range of RCA tools to solve different problems.) -Risk-based asset management (Draft an asset management plan). Describe asset management information required to manage risk. List ways to extend the life of assets and evaluate their effectiveness. Use FMEA to analyze risks and map control strategies.
Who is this course for?
- Individuals are working at manufacturing and operating companies, including cement, mining, or related industries.
- Maintenance Managers, PdM Managers, Maintenance professionals, continuing education students, and any person responsible for justifying or managing duties related to a PdM program.
- Engineering, validation, qualification and commissioning, facilities, and equipment personnel.
- Service providers including engineers, assurance, suppliers, equipment, and components suppliers.
Individual responsibility is vital for reaching usable technical conclusions and presenting their results to obtain a course certificate.
