A predictive maintenance program is essentially an extension of the preventive maintenance program commonly found at most industrial sites, is based on the actual condition of the component and employs monitoring and includes trending of component operating conditions.  In this fashion a failure of the component can be predicted and averted by performance of minor maintenance at a convenient time, such as during a scheduled outage.

Predictive maintenance programs require a significant amount of analytical ability.  Since this is the case, it is not suitable for all types of plant equipment.  The equipment failure modes for those components in the program must be evaluated and the failure indicators periodically trended.  To perform these parts of the program requires considerable skill and knowledge, along with specialized equipment.  With this in mind we need to analyze the elements of a predictive maintenance program.

• Keep Operating Equipment Running
• Reduce Forced Outage Occurrences

Predictive Maintenance Programs go a long way to reducing forced outages and in this Seminar you will learn:

• Predictive Maintenance Techniques
• Plant Equipment Selection
• Selection of Monitoring Techniques and Monitoring Equipment
• Frequency of Monitoring
• Trend Analysis of Monitoring Data

As Management, you are not only required to manage the day-to-day maintenance activities, but also maintain records, trend problem areas and find the causes of recurring problems in your plant. In this Seminar we will deal with the reduction of “unplanned” or “in-service-failure” of key equipment through the use of Predictive Maintenance Programs and Condition Monitoring. We will also look at the trending of certain monitoring areas on equipment that cannot be spared (Critical Equipment).

OBJECTIVES:  At the completion of this Seminar the participant will be able to:
