Why is This Course Essential?
One of the main reasons for repeat equipment failures is that the root causes of the failures are not investigated correctly. Methodical root cause investigations are needed to prevent repeated mechanical equipment failures. PII's 3-day course teaches the essential root cause analysis techniques necessary to correctly resolve mechanical equipment failures. Students learn the 97 common failure mechanisms (out of 127 possible mechanisms) of the mechanical equipment in a typical production facility.
Benefits of This Course:
This course enables attendees to diagnose common equipment failures with a very high success rate. Based upon the exam scores of past students, it is anticipated that attendees' root cause investigation success rate is increased from 30% to as much as 50%. While other courses teach only the typical 30 failure mechanisms, PII's course will increase the student's knowledge to 97 failure mechanisms.
Topics Covered in This Course:
- Overload failures
- Vibration failures
- Fatigue failures
- Water hammer failures
- Erosion or corrosion failures
- Root cause investigation techniques
- Methods to improve success rates to 100%
