Training

Operator Based Reliability and Preventive Maintenance

Torbjorn Idhammar, Vice President – IDCON, Inc.
Michael Lippig, Senior Consultant – IDCON, Inc.
(Wednesday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.)

This course will help the participants understand basic concepts of how to prevent equipment failures and how to detect equipment failures early from an operational and maintenance perspective. Additionally, the course discusses how operations and maintenance should closely integrate equipment and process inspections and preventive measures. In order to understand how a cost effective preventive maintenance system for operations and maintenance is designed, basic reliability concepts such as failure developing period, life of components, and consequence of failure analysis is taught. The course will be conducted in a workshop format allowing time for exercise, questions and answers.
