SKF Training Handbook | 2

Welcome

To the world of SKF Knowledge Engineering I’m pleased to say that our 2013 Training Handbook is our most comprehensive yet. Our expanded choice of courses will now offer industry and application specific training within rotating equipment, using a system approach to machinery life extension. Students will gain an understanding of the current trends in maintenance methodologies, and how precision and proactive approaches and their direct interaction with machinery fits into an overall reliability program. Another important undertaking will be the introduction of our Continuous Improvement courses, titled “Living Program”. Courses in this section, will relate to methods and technologies used to evaluate maintenance work and strategy, thereby “closing the loop” and making maintenance a continual improvement process. You will notice an even wider choice of online and other learning methods, all aimed at enabling our clients to build and experience their own self-paced learning environments. We’re moving to give you the training you want, using the tools and technology you want and developing your personnel to the competency level you want. Naturally, that also means at the time, place and pace that suits you. Importance of Skills Training It is no secret that recent years have brought challenging times for maintenance organisations. Companies 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 time we realise that the potential payoff to be gained by optimising production and minimising costs through a well trained, creative thinking, enthusiastic work force is far greater than size reductions. Why SKF for reliability maintenance training? By combining our technical knowledge and close working partnership with our clients, SKF has developed a training platform for your employees, which is able to reflect industry best practices and ensure your operational staff are equipped with the latest knowledge on machine reliability. We incorporate a variety of training methods into our classes to ensure the participant is engaged with the topic as it increases overall learning effectiveness. It is our belief that this year’s Training Handbook will offer genuine help to develop a successful knowledge base for your staff and meet the demands of today’s market. On behalf of SKF Reliability Systems, I welcome you and your team to one of our training courses in 2013.

Step 2: Training Needs Analysis Highest skills improvement opportunity for staff Training Needs Analysis (TNA): The shift to a fully integrated, reliability and risk-based asset management strategy starts with a good initial understanding of where your staff are today and where your staff need to be to attain optimum plant performance. The TNA enables this crucial understanding, combining our experience in training and knowledge of maintenance and reliability. The goal is to provide useful and meaningful information to help you focus on improvements for plant performance. TNA is conducted with individuals or a group of your staff from the following work areas: Superintendents/Supervisors • Mechanical Maintenance • Electrical Maintenance • Planning and Stores

Managers • Maintenance • Reliability • Engineering

Engineers • Mechanical • Electrical • Reliability • Condition Monitoring • Application

Technicians • Mechanical • Electrical • Reliability • Condition Monitoring • Lubrication

Targeting fourteen areas of Competency for Improvement Opportunities for improvement are determined when Training Needs Analysis is analysed. Typical improvements fall in the following areas: 1. Bearing and Seal Technology 2. Power Transmission 3. Lubrication 4. Oil Analysis 5. Vibration Analysis

6. RCA/RCFA 7. Non Destructive Testing 8. Thermography 9. Motor Testing and Diagnostics 10. Alignment and Balancing

11. Energy and Sustainability 12. Maintenance Strategy 13. Planning and Scheduling 14. Spare Parts Optimisation

A progressive and structured approach to Training Assessment Skill Gap Analysis in all key areas of Competency. COMPETENCY & SKILL ANALYSIS Scores = Skill Level 10.1 - 12.5 = Level 4 7.6 - 10.0 - = Level 3 5.1 - 7.5 = Level 2 2.6 - 5.0 = Level 1 0 - 2.5 = Level 0

Electric Motor Maintenance Course Overview Electric motors are among the highest in reliability incident reports. For many companies, this leads to a continual cycle of costly repairs and unplanned downtime factors that can hurt the bottom line. Since 40% to 70% of motor failures are related to bearings, it’s no surprise that high-quality bearings are key for reliable motors. The right bearings alone won’t deliver the results you need. How parts are installed, lubricated, handled, stored, aligned, and maintained is equally important This training course will train students to disassemble, inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot AC Induction motors including a practical motor overhaul.

Key Learning Outcomes 1. An effective implementation of electrical motor maintenance will translate into savings from production availability, reduced equipment repair costs and improved energy costs. 2.

Maintenance Strategy Review (MSR) Awareness - Level 1

E-Learning

Course Overview Before we explore the technical details of strategy, we must know about each organisation, what their issues are, why these issues matter, and how the issues can be incorporated into a plan. There must be a documented need to look at an existing maintenance strategy or create a new one for the right and unique business reasons. Maintenance Strategy is the key to asset reliability and availability, thus achieving overall organisational goals. How do you know if a review of your maintenance strategy is required and why?

Course Objective The course objectives are to ensure that each participant will: • know if a review of strategy is required and why • recognise the importance of data structure and content before any kind of strategy work is commenced • understand the importance of identifying and categorising assets • understand that there are different types of criticality at various levels of maintenance • understand what will likely be involved in total to conduct the right analysis, but then what the implications are of making the strategy work • recognise the commonalities and differences in possible strategies • understand that the conduct of MSR has important implications to spares • understand that certain classes of equipment require specialised approaches to strategy review (i.e., SCS > via SIL/IPF, etc.)

Course Content The purpose of this course is to make users aware of MSR and how they can apply it within their work. These are the topics:

Chapter 11: Performance management and measurement Chapter 12: How MSR forms the basis of Predictive and Proactive Reliability Maintenance programs

Spare Parts Management and Inventory Control - Level 1 Course Overview In a maintenance repair and operating (MRO) environment, spares and inventory management refer to those activities in an organisation that ensure at any time the optimal and timely availability of spare parts in order to meet maintenance demands. In today’s competitive environment, it is important that the management and optimisation of spares inventory is always considered in the context of supporting the maintenance function to meet its operational and business goals. Simply reducing inventory is not enough. Ideally, the aim must be to maintain sufficient inventory and no more such that production is never impacted by stock-outs whilst keeping inventory costs to a minimum. In this way, inventory management and optimisation add real value to any business.

We increased efficiency of critical machines “We accepted nasty vibration as a natural problem with our large fans. Some days we thought they would shake the plant apart. After attending the SKF training courses, our staff retrofitted our fans with a special bearing arrangement, different lubrication regimes, and laser alignment. The difference is amazing. No more shake, rattle and roll. No more midnight breakdowns.”

We avoided costly shutdowns “We never really understood what we could get out of condition monitoring until our staff attended the SKF training course. Now, we have a full understanding of the health of our equipment at all times, and we’ve avoided several really costly shutdowns using SKF data collection tools.”
