Maintenance Strategy Development

Overview

Course Description

In this 2-3 day course, discover how to analyze failure data by going further than just MTBF. Linking the Weibull distribution to the logical Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach, this class will provide a justified outcome to maintenance strategies that can be implemented through to preventative maintenance documentation. By utilizing software to logically follow the step-by-step pathway to optimized maintenance strategy development, the course will drive excellent asset performance at low cost and risk.

Benefits - Enables engineers to develop justified, optimized maintenance strategies following an RCM approach. (RCM201)
