Condition-Based Maintenance

This interactive workshop uses a combination of instructor presentation, industrial case studies, and hands-on exercises. Learn how to build a CBM business case for your own facility, select the appropriate assets to monitor, and deploy such a strategy. All participants are actively encouraged to discuss their current asset management, maintenance/reliability and CBM challenges they face. The course is divided into modules each with an exercise or discussion component. Each module builds on the previous one so that learning is done in an organized and structured format.

The event will take place in a computer lab where each participant is given dedicated use of a computer for the duration of the course. The course is comprised of presentations, examples, demonstrations and hands-on exercises. Participants are encouraged to discuss current CBM issues they face.

The course is divided into connected modules so that learning is done in an organized and structured format.

Module 1: Maintenance Strategy - This module reviews modern-day maintenance challenges faced by today’s companies to produce more with less. Discussion takes place with reference to contemporary maintenance approaches and methodologies such as Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). Upon completion of this module, you will understand which maintenance tactics are appropriate for each situation.

Module 2: CBM Theory - This module reviews the definition of CBM, its relation to other maintenance areas, and appropriate cases in which to deploy of CBM.

Module 3: CBM Technology - Learn about the different types of Condition-Based Maintenance technologies, such as offline vs. online, mobile vs. fixed, data requirements, algorithms, required equipment data, etc.

Module 4: Business Case - Acquire tools that will guide you through writing a business case for a Condition-Based Maintenance project with an ROI focus. Upon completing this module you will know how to create an effective business case.

Module 5: Online, Real-time CBM - Learn how to conduct predictive maintenance using your real-time asset condition data. The module reviews integration of real-time data with the CMMS, industry open standards such as OPC and MIMOSA, how to develop and monitor equipment health indexes and how to automate the data capture from existing traditional CBM systems, such as vibration, oil analysis, etc.

Module 6: Implementing CBM - Study the different stages in a Condition-Based Maintenance project and learn how to prioritize them to gain maximum effectiveness from your effort.
