The reliability of a plant depends largely on the awareness and knowledge of failure mechanisms, which the employees involved in that plant have. This can even be a determining factor in a plant’s competitive position.

During a 3-day training we will lift Inspectors, Engineers, Maintenance-, Reliability- and Improvement engineers, as well as your better welders and workshop employees with potential, to a valuable level of knowledge. After this, these people will have sufficient “awareness” to manage the use of an installation or repairs to it, and prevent unplanned stops.

Potential problems can then be quickly recognized and addressed in a timely manner. Critical engineering details are often overlooked by engineers and OEMs, yet are responsible for many failure mechanisms that can occur during operation.

This means that through knowledge of failure mechanisms, docking techniques, inspections and repairs, it is possible to recognize at an early stage where potential problems will occur and prevent them in a timely manner.

After these course days, your employees will be able to self-assess material damage such as wear, breakage and various types of corrosion problems for the need for action.

They are able to distinguish meaningful actions from those that don’t make sense. They start asking “smarter” questions to fellow stakeholders and during discussions with the OEMs.

Better understanding what’s going on results in more effective problem management and ultimately higher plant reliability. Just calculate what 1% more plant reliability will do for you!
