An organization with skilled condition monitoring technicians and analysts experiences lower maintenance costs and higher plant reliability. Condition-based maintenance is focused on preventing asset failures, downtime, and unnecessary practices by monitoring asset health to determine what maintenance needs to be completed and when. Coupled with an effective planning and scheduling process, maintenance costs and production downtime can be dramatically reduced.

Rotating machinery, electrical equipment, and practically every other type of equipment you may operate in your plant provide an indication when failure is initiated. While it is necessary to understand how equipment fails, we can achieve anywhere from weeks, months, and even years of warning before failure occurs. That enables us to establish a corrective maintenance plan and schedule the work at the optimal time in order to reduce spare parts holding costs, the time required to perform the corrective maintenance, and the impact on production. Proper planning increases the quality of the work performed and reduces safety and environmental risks.

However, it takes a skilled group of technicians and analysts to conduct the right tests, at the right time, and correctly diagnose the problem and assess the severity. And it takes a skilled leader to manage the condition monitoring program to ensure everyone is trained and the program is established correctly.

Condition monitoring has a key role to play in every maintenance program and can be considered essential to any predictive maintenance strategy. It is a valuable tool for optimizing safety standards, maximizing operational efficiency, and enhancing profitability. This three-day training course will provide participants the basics of the most commonly used condition monitoring techniques and the information needed to establish or improve condition monitoring programs in their organizations.
