Coming Spring 2009
 

ADVANCE MAINTENANCE RELIABILITY TECHNIQUES     NO. MMC506
This course will demonstrate how to analyze reliability data, and how to use reliability data in maintenance. Emphasis will be placed on the Weibull distribution, but the lognormal, normal and exponential distributions will also be discussed. Participants will receive a license for the "Reliability & Maintenance Analyst" software (Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000 and NT). Participants will use the software for in class exercises, thus, the course will focus on getting results rather and understanding the concepts rather than the details of the mathematical computations.

MOVING FROM REACTIVE TO PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE     NO. MMC503
(Managing Maintenance and Maintenance Reliability Techniques)
This class will provide the maintenance professional with the tools to effectively manage the maintenance function and with a working knowledge of the maintenance tools required to improve their plant equipment reliability. The management areas that will be discussed are: maintenance performance metrics, roles and responsibilities, process loss mapping, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, etc. The reliability tools to be discussed will be: Reliability Centered Maintenance, Root Cause Failure Analysis, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Setup Reduction Techniques, Visual Controls, etc.

MAINTENANCE RELIABILITY PROJECT     NO. MMC504
As the final element to the program the student will be asked to select and implement a maintenance improvement project at their plant location. The instructors will help the student setup their project; provide assistance and feedback at the final project review.
