Overview

Reliability is a cornerstone of any maintenance process. Get it right and you can enjoy good safety performance, low running costs and a sustainably high production level at the right quality. Reliable plants are usually safer and cite a higher level of morale. Lose control of reliability and operations become less predictable, more chaotic and much more difficult to control. This is a highly practical course that includes the latest thinking in reliability improvement, how to gain maximum benefit for minimum effort and how to develop bespoke reliability strategies that will integrate effectively with other campaigns. This will include methods and tools as well as the Carcharodon Model of Excellence to add structure and enable participants to break this complex subject into smaller, more understandable parts. Reliability is not the responsibility of maintenance alone and outstanding performance can only be achieved with a strategy that includes operations, design, materials and contractors. This course is based upon our Model of Excellence for bringing all these considerations together as one to achieve pace-setter standards.

Learning Objectives

Explain how pace-setters achieve outstanding reliability performance and how to use the Carcharodon Model of Excellence Develop reliability programs that align with the unique needs of their business, asset and maintenance strategies Analyze their current performance against best-in-class benchmarks Calculate potential fixed and variable cost reductions along with productivity, output, and product quality improvements, that can be delivered through reliability improvement Apply key reliability improvement methodologies and tools to improve reliability performance Explain to colleagues the fundamentals of best practice in reliability, including the responsibilities of design and operations as well as maintenance Engage colleagues and consider the human factors required to support a high reliability culture

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Reliability Engineers

Quality Engineers & Managers

Design and Development Engineers

Maintenance & Asset Management

Professionals preparing for the ASQ CRE exam

COURSE METHADOLOGY

BK Management Team believe that learning is not only about acquiring technical skills, but also about learning behaviors & Competencies that are desirable for work in plant operation & maintenance critical dimensions. Our holistic teaching develops our delegates' personal effectiveness to function both as an individual and as a team player. The course delivery & modes of instruction will incorporate theory , practical skills and Q&A sessions. To enhance learning outcomes, theory sessions will comprise classroom based lecture that will intersperse with interactive discussions, scenario-based, case-study, group exercises, video clips, power point slides, learners' Guide and the application of various tools which will be provided to help in the delegates and participants of the learning’s objectives. With successful implementation of the learnt skills they are bound to enhance Individual & Organizational growth. For online / Interactive Virtual sessions, Delegate should have a stable & good Internet connection on his Laptop.
