Seminar Overview
Available in both virtual and in-person, instructor-led formats, this course provides the fundamentals of Predictive Maintenance and Condition Monitoring applicable to facilities and manufacturing production lines. With ever increasing demands from top management to accomplish more work and decrease operating costs, investing in predictive maintenance and condition monitoring tools makes more sense today than ever before. While many organizations still rely heavily on time-based, preventive maintenance, it’s a proven fact that condition-based monitoring increases personnel productivity, reduces equipment downtime and saves money. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) & Condition Monitoring will provide students with a framework to make the right decisions on what equipment needs condition monitoring, what technologies to use to meet their needs and how to measure the effectiveness of their decisions. In addition to exposing students to the principles and options for a program, they will learn about real world applications that have benefited other successful maintenance programs.
This 2-day seminar is just $1,195.
