Managing Asset Reliability: Biopharma Process Equipment with Pro-Reliability Solutions
Overview
This two-day course, blended between theory and practical sessions, is designed to interactively train participants on how to develop proactive asset management strategies for bioprocessing equipment through the application of best-practice Reliability Engineering principles.
Participants will explore the application of Root Cause Analysis, Asset Maintenance Strategy Optimisation, Strategy Simulation, and Work Management practices to make optimised maintenance and reliability decisions.
Key topics covered
Introduction to Reliability Engineering:
- What is reliability and what does it meant to your organisation?
- Why do we need Reliability? The journey of reliability and what it can deliver
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) – Best Practice Defect Elimination:
- How RCA is a key tool for eliminating defects and an essential component of asset management strategy
- RCA investigations – from the 5 ‘whys’ to Cause and Effect Analysis
- What we need to investigate through trigger points?
- Identifying solutions to prevent and eliminate future reoccurrences
Asset Maintenance Strategy Optimisation:
- Establishing the appropriate maintenance frequency
- Why Equipment Criticality Analysis is important? What is Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)?
- Applying RCA failure data to asset maintenance strategy optimisation
- Identifying failure modes and how to mitigate / eliminate them
- Improving effectiveness of existing maintenance strategies
- Building and simulating the optimised maintenance strategy
- Forecasting spares, resources, budgets and risks
Work Management – Planning, Performance and Productivity:
- How to execute maintenance strategies efficiently
- Identifying best practices, methods and systems required to get the most from planning and scheduling to unlock resource capacity
- How accurate maintenance planning maximises tool time, resource and information availability
- How the performance of your work management process is a vital input to maintenance strategy optimisation
- Driving quality with high-quality planning and scheduling performance
Tying it all together: A practical exercise is also undertaken by the class to incorporate reliability principles and methods
Who should attend
This workshop is of particular interest to organisations looking to improve the reliability of their biomanufacturing assets, and the efficiency and effectiveness of their existing asset management strategies and maintenance plans. Typically, these are managers, leads and specialists in these areas:
- Plant and Bioprocess Engineering
- Maintenance and Reliability
- Tech Operations (Tech Ops) and Manufacturing Sciences and Technology (MSAT)
