Total Preventive Maintenance

This introductory module will cover foundational topics required to develop high reliable plants, products and services, which include topics like reliability theory, RAM (reliability, maintainability and availability), reliability centred maintenance (RCM) methodology, and failure analysis.

The module objectives are to introduce the concept of reliability engineering, followed by describing two specific aspects of the discipline that form the application backbone of the RCM methodology. That is first the basic reliability theory concepts, and second, the key reliability tools e.g. fault tree analysis, event tree analysis and, failure mode, effects & criticality analysis. The content will be approached from a system to component perspective with a strong focus on practical methods and tools.
