On-site One-Day Introduction to Reliability & Advanced Maintenance

This on-site one-day immersive course is designed to fundamentally shift how maintenance and operations personnel think about equipment, failures, and their role in system performance. The program moves the team from a reactive “fix it when it breaks” mindset to a reliability-centered way of thinking focused on understanding why failures occur and how to prevent them permanently.

Participants will learn what reliability truly means, how different maintenance strategies actually function, how machines fail in the real world, and how early warning signals appear long before catastrophic breakdowns. The course emphasizes real-world failure mechanisms, contamination control, predictive technologies, and practical root cause thinking without blame.

By the end of the day, attendees will:

• Understand the true meaning of reliability and how it differs from uptime and availability

• Clearly distinguish the four maintenance strategies and their financial impact

• Recognize early failure signals across multiple technologies

• Think in systems instead of isolated components

• Understand what useful maintenance data looks like and how misuse of KPIs creates hidden risk

This course is intentionally practical, evidence-based, and focused on how real plants actually fail, not how textbooks say they should perform.
