Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
Condition monitoring detects deterioration early enough to plan a repair rather than suffer a breakdown. This course covers the main techniques, how to read what they produce and how to build a monitoring programme worth its cost.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01The case for condition based maintenance and the P to F interval
- 02Vibration analysis fundamentals and common fault signatures
- 03Thermography, its applications and its limits
- 04Oil analysis, wear debris and contamination control
- 05Ultrasound, motor current and other techniques
- 06Baselines, trending, alarm limits and false alarms
- 07Turning findings into planned work and proving the value

Planned Preventive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to keep plant running. This course covers the design and running of a preventive maintenance programme: what to maintain, how often, and how to prove the programme is working.
Reliability Centred Maintenance
Reliability centred maintenance asks what each asset must do and what happens when it cannot, then selects maintenance accordingly. This course teaches the analysis method and how to apply it without drowning in paperwork.
Root Cause Failure Analysis
Equipment that fails repeatedly is usually being repaired rather than fixed. This course builds the investigative discipline to trace a failure to its physical, human and system roots and to implement corrections that hold.
