Course Description
This course is intended to reinforce the important aspects of reliability in order to achieve the maximum level of asset performance, as well as obtaining effective maintenance through best industrial practices.
It provides a structured approach to reliability improvement and maintenance optimisation, covering reliability principles, maintenance strategy selection, condition-based maintenance, and the organisational practices required to sustain a high-performing reliability program. The course bridges technical reliability methods with practical maintenance management.
What you will achieve
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Apply the fundamental principles of reliability engineering
- Select and optimise maintenance strategies for different asset types
- Implement condition-based and predictive maintenance
- Apply RCM, FMEA, and root cause analysis
- Use reliability metrics (MTBF, MTTR, availability) to drive decisions
- Reduce maintenance costs while improving asset performance
- Sustain a reliability program through best industrial practices
How the course is delivered
The course combines expert instruction with best-practice industrial examples and practical exercises. It emphasises the application of reliability principles to real maintenance decisions.
Participants work through reliability analysis and maintenance optimisation scenarios drawn from industrial practice.
