Workshop on Condition Based Maintenance Management and Reliability Best Practices

Conditioned-based maintenance (CMB) is a maintenance strategy that monitors the actual condition of an asset to decide what maintenance needs to be done. CBM dictates that maintenance should only be performed when certain indicators show signs of decreasing performance or upcoming failure.

The goal of condition-based maintenance is to monitor failure so that maintenance can be proactively scheduled when it is needed – and not before. Asset conditions need to trigger maintenance within a long enough time period before failure, so work can be finished before the asset fails or performance falls below the optimal level.

Reliability best practice, on the other hand, is a process to ensure that assets continue to do what their users require of them in their present operating context. Reliability best practice incorporates preventive and corrective maintenance activities, along with predictive testing and inspection (PT&I) and other actions to provide optimal balance to achieve greater reliability and lower asset life cycle costs. This course “Conditioned-based maintenance management and reliability best practice” strategies when successfully implemented will lead to an increase in cost-effectiveness, machine uptime, and greater understanding of the level of risk the organization is managing.

For whom:

This course is designed for maintenance, reliability, engineering and technical support staff including leadership and management of the Maintenance Department. It is equally recommended for and not limited to the following: Planners, Supervisors, Engineers, Technicians, Reliability Engineers, Maintenance Team (Leaders and Managers) and Operations Team (Leaders and Managers)

Program objectives:

At the end of the program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the behaviour and events that are driving costs
• Understand how poor reliability is a major factor in cost management
• Implement a CBM program to improve reliability
• Implement root cause analysis to eliminate defects
• Apply best practice work management to ensure early detection and correction of defects
• See how Reliability best practice interacts with and supports other elements of maintenance strategy, particularly condition-based monitoring.
• Acquire hints and tips for the practical application of reliability best practices in their areas of responsibility, fitting it into the overall maintenance organization and strategy.
• Apply key reliability improvement methodologies and tools to improve reliability performance.
