Course Overview:
Companies initiate change programs all of the time. Some succeed but many more fail to accomplish their stated goals. Previous failure can make future efforts even more difficult due the audience becoming skeptical.
Of all types of change, reliability focused efforts are perhaps the most difficult to initiate and conduct. These initiatives often meet significant resistance because there are always those who did well working in a reactive maintenance environment. Lukewarm support is often the most that can be expected from those changing to the new reliability based approach. How a manager manages the change will be the difference between success and failure.
This course teaches the basic skills required to break down the barriers encountered by reliability focused change efforts.
The course includes:
• Making your vision of a reliability focused future understandable and accepted
• Achieving the vision by use of the Goal Achievement Model
• Building your Roadmap of Change
• Becoming a non-linear thinker using spiral learning
• Understanding the role of teams
• Overcoming resistance
• Measuring your opportunities for improvement with the Web of Change
In addition you will learn about the Eight Elements of Change – leadership, work process, structure, group learning, technology, communication, interrelationships and rewards. You may have worked with one or more of these in the past, but this course shows you how to view and work with them as a global set of critical change elements.

Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is the maintenance approach used when following a process that assesses equipment condition and determines the maintenance requirements of any physical asset in its operating context.
Basically, the RCM methodology addresses key issues not dealt with by other maintenance programs. This approach recognizes that all equipment in a facility is not of equal importance – to either the process or to facility needs and safety. Focusing on reliability of equipment means recognizing that equipment design and operations differ, and that each piece of equipment will have a different probability of undergoing failure from degradation than will another. A reliability-focused approach will mean structuring a maintenance program based upon the understanding of equipment needs and priorities, as well as limited financial and personnel resources, to plan activities such that equipment maintenance is prioritized while operations are optimized.
Simply put, RCM is a systematic approach of evaluating a facility’s equipment and resources to best match the two needs. This results in a high degree of facility reliability and cost-effectiveness, and is highly reliant on predictive maintenance.
Take three days to immerse yourself and your team in the world of Reliability Centered Maintenance with 12 Real World RCM Case Studies, a Reliability Incident Management Short Course and the new RCM Scorecard Workshop. The Reliability Centered Maintenance Managers' Forum will jumpstart your journey to an improved maintenance program.

The SDT Ultrasonic tank test system, is the most efficient, fastest, economical and most reliable method to control the tightness of underground fuel tanks.
A pump creates a gradual vacuum in the tank. As soon as the vacuum created becomes higher than the hydrostatic pressure due to the height of liquid, leaks start to generate ultrasonic sounds or signals. Two ultrasonic sensors placed inside the tank, one above and the other in the liquid, reveal even the smallest leaks and therefore control the tightness of fuel tanks of P1, P2, P3, P4 as prescribed by the environmental regulations.

The Ultimate Technical Resource on Bearings - The Convenience of CD-ROM
Do you find yourself replacing the same bearing again and again? It seems like you just got that machine back on-line and now you’re tearing it down again to replace that same bearing for the umpteenth time. What aggravation!
It’s not only aggravating - it’s expensive. Not to mention the boss is standing over you, chewing you out, and wanting to know when “his” line will be back up again.
Bearing failures occur regularly in every plant; and thousands of dollars in lost production time and unnecessary bearing purchases can occur as a result. That’s why it’s critical - no imperative - to identify the root cause of a premature bearing failure and implement a solution to prevent a reoccurrence.
Sound familiar? Well fortunately, there’s a better way. TWI Press is pleased to announce the availability of a new resource tool to help you avoid some of the aggravation described above.

Introduction to Vibration Analysis Course Number VS101
Next Course begins February 1, 2005!
The Introduction To Vibration Analysis (IVA) class introduces students to the basic theory subjects of amplitude, frequency, trends, spectrums and more. The subjects are made more understandable through the use of dozens of animations to illustrate the subjects. Additionally, the focus is kept on how the theory is applied in a practical sense. The distance learning format is designed to not overwhelm the student at the beginner level. Later in the course, the theory is applied as the class is stepped through an actual case study complete with machine and field test data. The case study is a critical step in teaching the students how to connect the theory they are learning with the application side of the technology.
Total course time to complete: 8 weeks - 12 weeks
Estimated Student Study time per week: 3 hours
Space is limited so please call 239-985-0317 ext 112 to register or...
