Assets undergo wear and tear over time, and if not managed and maintained properly, can lead to breakdowns, downtime, revenue loss, low plant availability, and other issues. For organizations operating in heavy process industries, maximizing the return on investment of physical assets while operating safely and in an environmentally responsible manner is more critical than ever. Hence, asset owners are looking for ways to manage assets throughout their lifecycle. Often, the efforts to maintain uptime, improve safety, and ensure compliance lack alignment with each other. As a result, facilities can waste precious time, funds, and resources accomplishing each effort individually. In January 2014, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published the ISO 55000 family of standards for asset management. In 2015, the SABS adopted ISO 55000 as a national standard (SANS 55000: 2015). By aligning the efforts to maintain uptime, improve safety, and ensure compliance under a common, comprehensive asset management system as outlined in the SANS 55000, facilities can experience greater returns on asset investment.
This two-day course will cover an overview of SANS 55000 & ISO 55000, maintenance techniques, TPM, RCM, maintenance planning and scheduling, Maintenance KPIs, Asset management over the life cycle, Root Cause Analysis of asset failures, Computerized Maintenance Management System and Condition Monitoring Tools and Systems for asset management.
