Course Overview

What is risk assessment in maintenance?

The integrity of any plant and its assets depends on good maintenance. For better maintenance, risks should be measured, and proper strategies and techniques should be applied to avoid failures of the assets. Diverse techniques and strategies are available that sufficiently improve the performance of the plant and ensure that no single asset fails.

Moreover, the profit gained from the plant is usually because of the cost-effective plans and procedures in place. That is why it is important that all the risks are properly identified and measured, and risk criteria are considered. Additionally, significant tasks also include the knowledge and application of the Risk-Based Maintenance (RBM) techniques and strategies. As a result, the life of the assets will be improved, and the profitability of the organization will be increased.

What is RBM in Maintenance?

Zoe is aware that properly applied maintenance techniques, plans, strategies, and procedures can save organizations from wasting poles of money. The expert instructors have hands-on experience with RBM (Risk-Based Maintenance). They are indulged in developing and delivering to the point effective content that will ultimately help the trainees in their careers. The trainees will be able to excel in their careers in the organization of their choice as the content is developed considering the ongoing market trends and technologies.

 Course Objectives

RBM techniques, strategies, and application course will assist the trainees in accomplishing the following objectives:

• Comprehension of the RBM, its methodology, and application of the RBM program
• Development of effective strategies as per the unique environment
• Understand the participation of the RBM in maintenance and effective performance
• Apprehension of the risk and its role in developing plans
• Understanding the failure, its probability, system behaviour during failure, and effects of failure on the risks
• Selection of the correct technology as per the unique situation
• Proper and effective integration of RBM with other techniques such as RBI and PFA
• Usage of Key Performance Indicators in order to perform
• Tips and tricks for the best application of the RBM
• Developing an action plan using RBM and ensuring that RBM is best utilized for the sake of management of assets

Training Methodology

Zoe understands the importance of each course; hence expert instructors ensure that each topic will be aligned with the market’s requirements. The professional instructors have real market experience, and they pass on this experience to the trainees and increase their abilities to work in the real market. All courses of the Zoe are meant to produce individuals who are able to work as experts in the market from the very first day after the completion of their respective courses. For this reason, the content of all of the courses is thoroughly reviewed to ensure that these topics are aligned with the current market requirements. Moreover, a Do-Review-Learn-Apply model is developed and used by Zoe to maximize the participation of the trainees by using techniques like group activities, projects, role plays, and so on.
