Rotating Assets Strategy for Performance and Reliability

Course Overview

Rotating Equipment is very critical for the process chain. Every year hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost due to downtime brought on by machinery failure attributed mainly to rotating equipment, the unavailability of suitable spare components and the failure to accurately diagnose the real underlying problem.

This course is designed for an insight into the rotating equipment reliability program, its implementation, performance factors, efficiency and uptime. The course is aimed at learning the management of rotating equipment with a proactive strategy.
