FAILURE ANALYSIS & PREVENTION OF MACHINE COMPONENT & EQUIPMENT

OBJECTIVE

Introducing the role of failure analysis methodology to explore the root cause of component failure. To prevent similar failure in the future by analyzing the root cause of the failure. The types of analyzes will also be part of the course, as well as the analysis procedure and good reporting system tutorial. To complete the course and to make it more comprehensive, case studies picked up from actual field operations will

also be discussed and become good “lesson-learned” for all selected participants.
