Description
Short description:
Understand equipment failure behaviour, classify failures, and identify maintenance policies to support effective maintenance strategies.
Long description:
Designed for maintenance and operations professionals, this module provides an in-depth exploration of the core concepts that support the development of effective industrial maintenance strategies. Learners will analyse the bathtub curve, differentiate between sporadic and chronic failures, and examine how equipment deterioration evolves over time using practical industrial examples and scenario-based exercises. Through interactive activities, real maintenance cases, and problem-solving situations, participants will learn to interpret failure behaviours, assess their operational impact, and identify the most appropriate maintenance responses. The module also introduces the relationship between equipment reliability, failure probability, and maintenance policy selection, enabling learners to make informed decisions when supporting reliability and production continuity in industrial environments. This module serves as a foundational introduction to maintenance management and reliability engineering concepts.
What you will learn
- Analyse the stages of equipment failure using the bathtub curve to interpret failure probability over time.
- Differentiate between sporadic and chronic failures by evaluating operational scenarios and root causes.
- Classify failure types to support decision-making in maintenance management processes.
- Compare corrective, preventive, condition-based, and improvement maintenance policies based on application criteria.
- Select appropriate maintenance policies aligned with equipment behaviour and operational requirements.
