1 Reliability Engineering & Asset Management (REAM) IMechE Accredited CPD Courses

2 Prof Jyoti Sinha CEng, FIMechE Programme Director, REAM Head Dynamics Laboratory The University of Manchester has been delivering industrially applied professional development courses and consultancy in plant maintenance and reliability for over 20 years. Our teaching style is unique; the courses are explained through industrial case studies and our teaching often takes place at plant sites to demonstrate the real world application of theory. We offer eight IMechE accredited * CPD courses covering the complete spectrum of plant maintenance activities ranging from maintenance design, condition monitoring, maintenance auditing, risk and reliability modelling and turnaround management. The courses are highly recommended for maintenance professionals, engineers and practitioners. The CPD courses are applicable to most industries and service sectors including; Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Railways, Chemical, Food Processing, Energy & Power Generation, Aviation, Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Retail and Leisure. These courses will contribute to your professional development and may be used for obtaining Chartered Engineer Status & Membership. Multiple courses can be combined to achieve a formal postgraduate award.

Relevant standards & legislation in these areas. Behavioural safety, near miss & accident reporting & investigation. Quantified risk assessments & hazard analysis. Asset integrity management including discussion of risk-based inspection, reliability centred maintenance, equipment in flammable atmospheres, & instrument protective systems. Financial importance of asset management & maintenance including effects on profitability, cash flow & return on investment. Relationship with lean and intangible items. How asset management & maintenance adds value. Making a case for investment or improvement. Costing for maintenance & asset management including lifecycle costing, costing for investments & improvements; dealing with uncertainties & contingencies

5 M03: Asset Maintenance Systems This course aims to: develop understanding of the principles and requirements underlying the concept of system as it is applied to the discipline of Maintenance On completion of this course you should be able to; Demonstrate an understanding of the theory and principles underlying the design, organisation and operation of an effective maintenance system. Generate and justify selection of the most appropriate maintenance processes and options based on plant type, geometric configuration and the operating environment of the equipment Differentiate between the various elements of a maintenance system and integrate the various elements into a complete system. Understand the potential opportunities and threats that may accompany the currently trending fourth industrial revolution through initiatives such as industrial internet of things (IoTs) or e-maintenance or autonomous maintenance or smart maintenance Introduction to the concept of System as applied to Maintenance Critical relationship between systems and organisations Exploring a Model Maintenance system Maintenance Option selection, Planning and Scheduling Processes Issues of controlling the Maintenance management System Maintenance Spares and Logistics Processes Maintenance costing Processes Understand the potential role of maintenance and asset management within the premise of Industry 4.0 Investigate the pros and cons of computerised maintenance management systems and possible improvement opportunities

6 M04: Machinery Vibration-based Condition Monitoring This course aims to give a detailed treatment of the in-situ dynamics characterisation, and detection, possibly location and diagnosis of faults in rotating and reciprocating machinery, using vibration analysis. Introduction to vibration theory to understand machine vibration. Instruments details and their selection guidance to meet the requirements. Vibration measurement procedure including the concept of anti-aliasing and selection of sampling frequency. Signal processing time domain and frequency domain (spectrum, FRF, etc.), filtering, windowing, envelope analysis, phase analysis, order tracking, orbit plot, etc. Theory and laboratory experiments on modal testing, ODS analysis and rotor balancing. Demonstration of a number of industrial case studies linking measurements, data analysis and theory in fault detection & diagnosis, and then solving industrial vibration problems. Use of in-situ vibration tests during machine installation and commissioning, and in solving the vibration problem in the aged machines.

7 M05: Design for Reliability & Asset Management This course aims to present ways in which reliability and maintainability can be taken into account effectively during design. It presents the totality of design activity for the whole product and process life cycle, the control and integration of different technical groups, and shows how and when the process can be influenced to improve maintainability and reliability (M&R). Perspectives of design and design constraints will be discussed in order to identify the most appropriate ways in which design can be improved with respect to M&R. It addresses how design of routines can be improved as an outcome of failures and hence the learning from failures concept. Maintenance awareness and design. M&R background; parameters that can be usefully used in design: MTTR, MTBF, MWT. Learning from Failures. A design perspective and case study based introduction.
