We call this SKF Knowledge!


Welcome To the world of SKF Knowledge Engineering It is no secret that th at recent economic outlook has brought challenging times for maintenance organisations. C ompanies have turned to downsizing, re-engineering, and a host of other methods to increase profit and remain competitive in the new world market. It is imperative we realise that t he potential pay-off to be gained by optimising production and minimising cost s through a welltrained, creative thinking, enthusiastic work force is far greater than size reductions.

"Do your maintenance staff practice best practices?" What do we mean by proactive maintenance? What is world class maintenance? This all refers to overall precision maintenance skills. These new skills include doing the big things correctly, like mounting bearings and seals, applying the correct lubricant in the right amount at the right time with the right delivery system. Making sure the rotor is balanced and the machines are aligned - and doing the little things t hings correct ly, like how to cut a piece of key stock and how to apply shims. We also need to understand how to inspect and troubleshoot currently currentl y running equipment. These skills don't come from being on on the job for a long time; they need to be transferred to workers.

Why SKF for reliability maintenance training? In 2015, we invite maintenance tr ades and engineering personnel to participate in r elevant SKF courses and gain new knowledge and skills that will have a positi ve impact on daily work and plant perfor mance. Our courses will be tailored to site ba sed applications with an emphasis on a ’hands-on’ approach to provide basic trou bleshooting skills and fundamental knowledge about how machines and components operate internally. Your employees will have the opportunity to learn from our experienced instructors, as they impart their knowledge on ‘best in class’ reliability maintenance practices. Learning can take t ake place in a conducive public or in-house environment, online where you can lear n at your own time and pace – or as a blended option incorporating face to face tr aining and online for maximum impact. We would like to extend our congratulations to you in making your best business decision - that is, to invest in training for your employees. We look forward to being your industry par tner in learning, development and performance improvement, and to a rewarding 2015. Wish you an enjoyable learning experience!

Course Overview

Course Overview

This course looks at bearing damage classification. Understanding the root causes of bearing failures can not only have the effect of providing reliable bearing operation, but also can avoid costly downtime. While most bearings perform extremely well in their particular application, the remaining bearing failures can have expensive consequences. Bearing failure modes are defined according to ISO classification.

This course provides a basic introduction to field balancing from first principles.

Armed with this information, it is possible to make sure that a bearing can perform flawlessly in its particular role. The ISO classification helps to improve communication, and avoid misunderstandings. Classifying the damage in the right way helps to understand what has happened, to find the root cause and identify solutions to prevent recurrence of the problem. Course Information Duration

Analysis of Resonance Related Problems

Dynamic Analysis for Equipment and Structural Analysis

Down time of equipments due to resonance in a plant is very common phenomena. Solving the same after understanding the same is very important.

High vibrations in plant equipment due to resonance are solved by using dynamic analysis. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is the scientific method used for such analysis. FEA is used for many other solutions including the design optimisation.

Course Overview The vibration can be greatly amplified if a forcing function, such as unbalance, misalignment or a blade pass frequency happens to be within the range of a natural frequency. When such forcing frequencies coincide with or nearer to a natural frequency this phenomenon is known as “Resonance”.

Course Overview This course provides a working knowledge of the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) methodology. It helps anyone to understand fundamental problem solving processes, examine the basic concepts of problem solving, how to facilitate an effective investigation and develop actionable solutions.

Short Courses

Industry Specifc

Key Learning Outcomes • Understanding the importance of RCA in delivering internal services and its role in relation to other tools, notably vibration diagnostics, bearing failure diagnostics and maintenance strategy • Becoming confident in building “why?” trees and the 7 steps of root cause study • Students will be equipped with tools to resolve complex problems and think laterally to explore causes of a problem

Course Content The key elements of Root Cause Analysis process discussed include: • Working from existing corporate information systems to capture events and incidents where RCA will be beneficial - Machinery failures resulting in actual or potential loss of plant output. - Machinery failure that represents a large or unbudgeted repair cost - Safety, health or environmental breaches - Repetitive failures that collectively represent an excessive maintenance cost. - A non-conformance in maintenance strategy • Prioritise incidents and formally launch the RCA study by defining t he problem • Collect and preserve evidence that will provide evidence on the incident • Expose the causes of the incident by building a “why?” tree. In general each incident will have three types of root causes - Technical causes - Human causes - Organisational causes Only when all three types of causes have been exposed, can the RCA be considered complete

• Propose practical actions that will address root cause of t he incident and develop a business case for management approval of the resulting actions • Following management approval, assign actions for implementation and track actions to completion • Measure the performance of the RCA program through appropriate KPI’s

Who Should Attend Anyone whose job involves problem solving, safety, reliability, quality control, operations and logistics, production line or anyone who wants to eliminate recurring failures and improve efficiency.
