Course Overview

Effective machine failure analysis is critical to maintaining the reliability and efficiency of industrial equipment. This comprehensive program equips participants with the knowledge and practical techniques to identify, analyse, and prevent failures in rotating machinery and other critical assets. Covering fundamental concepts, failure mechanisms, and diagnostic methods, this course helps engineers and technicians improve equipment reliability and minimize downtime through structured problem-solving approaches.

Objective:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Understand the fundamental causes of machinery failures and their implications on plant operations.
Apply systematic troubleshooting techniques to identify and resolve equipment failures.
Analyse different failures, including mechanical, metallurgical, and lubrication-related issues.
Develop effective strategies for failure prevention, reliability improvement, and maintenance optimization.
Prepare detailed and accurate failure analysis reports to support continuous improvement efforts.
