Course Overview

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals and techniques involved in assessing the reliability of rotating machinery. Participants will learn to detect and diagnose faults and adopt best practices for improving cost-effective reliability. The course covers various aspects of machinery maintenance, failure analysis, and troubleshooting to enhance rotating equipment's operational lifespan and efficiency.

Objective:

By the end of the course, participants will:

Gain a deep understanding of rotating machinery maintenance methods and strategies.
Learn how to detect and diagnose faults in rotating machinery.
Understand the principles of reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) and predictive maintenance.
Develop the skills to analyse failure mode and identify common causes of machinery component failures.
Learn the best practices for cost-effective reliability improvements in rotating equipment.
Understand the impact of vibration and other factors on rotating machinery performance.
Be equipped with the tools to perform adequate maintenance and troubleshooting.
