Our courses provide engineers, mechanics, technicians, and supervisors with the knowledge and skills required to correctly identify, prioritize, and establish corrective actions for the most common causes of industrial equipment failures. Our training programs have been specifically developed to provide continuing efforts to help improve maintenance and reliability within your facility by teaching PRACTICAL applications. By training personnel to recognize potential problems, we can help prepare your employees to identify, address, and prevent failures in equipment and assets.

Common Causes of Industrial Equipment Failures

Knowledgeable and experienced engineering instructors utilize hands-on examples of failed components, such as fasteners, gears, bearings, shafts, chains, and couplings to cover the basic concepts related to corrosion, wear, fatigue, and overload failures. The 3-day class sessions are designed for students with varying backgrounds. The course fosters learning and development with ‘hands-on’ instruction that informs attendees “how” mechanical components work, “why” they fail, and most importantly, how to prevent a future failure.

This is accomplished by facilitating the physical inspection, analysis, and reporting on literally hundreds of failed components provided in a classroom environment.  By raising awareness of the prevalence and pervasive nature of human error and applying these basic concepts to specific components and machinery types. These exemplars range from failed pump and gearbox components to alloys with environmental cracking.

Emphasis is on how to conduct an accurate and objective analysis.  Information is applicable to all personnel, especially reliability engineers, maintenance mechanics/technicians, maintenance supervisors, and plant engineers.
