This course presents the concepts and techniques of Maintenance, Reliability Management preventive, Predictive Maintenance and Machinery Failure Analysis. It is specifically designed to meet the needs of managers, engineers, assistants and all technical personnel involved in maintenance. The course starts with maintenance strategies, concepts, techniques and spare parts management system. It covers the role, impact, cost, and benefits of preventive and predictive maintenance. It also covers the condition based maintenance techniques and Machinery failure analysis in details. It covers the role, impact, cost, and benefits of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). It also covers the RCM techniques, software, and methods such as the seven stages of RCM and FMECA; in additional to the implementation steps. Total productive maintenance (TPM) program implementation is presented. By the end of the course, the participants will be able to establish the maintenance system and techniques suitable to their own facilities.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Understand the maintenance concepts and techniques
• Understand the concept, performance measures, and analysis of preventive and predictive maintenance

• Identify preventive maintenance planning and scheduling
• Discuss the causes, effects, and goals of a successful preventive maintenance program
• Explain how a computerized preventive maintenance program can be developed and implemented
• Gain knowledge of the potential contribution of preventive and predictive maintenance technique to maintenance efficiency and performance
• Gain knowledge of the condition based maintenance techniques and applications
• Apply a practical approach to developing an action plan to utilize preventive maintenance in trainees area of responsibility, fitting into the overall maintenance organization and strategy
• Understand the concept, performance measures, and analysis of RCM
• Gain knowledge of the potential contribution of RCM to maintenance efficiency and performance
• Illustrate guidelines indicating how RCM interacts with and supports other elements of maintenance strategy particularly condition monitoring and CBM
• Apply a practical approach to developing an action plan to utilize RCM and TPM in the trainees area of responsibility, fitting them into the overall maintenance organization and strategy
