Managing Asset Reliability: Biopharma Process Equipment with Pro-Reliability Solutions

Introduction to Reliability Engineering: 

• What is reliability and what does it meant to your organisation? 
• Why do we need Reliability? The journey of reliability and what it can deliver 

 Root Cause Analysis (RCA) – Best Practice Defect Elimination: 

• How RCA is a key tool for eliminating defects and an essential component of asset management strategy 

• RCA investigations – from the 5 ‘whys’ to Cause and Effect Analysis 

• What we need to investigate through trigger points? 

• Identifying solutions to prevent and eliminate future reoccurrences 

Asset Maintenance Strategy Optimisation: 

• Establishing the appropriate maintenance frequency 
• Why Equipment Criticality Analysis is important? What is Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)? 
• Applying RCA failure data to asset maintenance strategy optimisation 
• Identifying failure modes and how to mitigate / eliminate them 
• Improving effectiveness of existing maintenance strategies 
• Building and simulating the optimised maintenance strategy 
• Forecasting spares, resources, budgets and risks 

Work Management – Planning, Performance and Productivity: 

• How to execute maintenance strategies efficiently 
• Identifying best practices, methods and systems required to get the most from planning and scheduling to unlock resource capacity 
• How accurate maintenance planning maximises tool time, resource and information availability 
• How the performance of your work management process is a vital input to maintenance strategy optimisation 
• Driving quality with high-quality planning and scheduling performance 

Tying it all together: A practical exercise is also undertaken by the class to incorporate reliability principles and methods
