Content

To provide technicians with the confidence and ability to identify and fix common faults, reducing downtime. On completion of this course, delegates will quickly identify the root cause of a fault, using recognised methodologies that provide a logical thought process to common equipment failures.

The course will cover a series of practical fault-finding exercises on pre-prepared rigs and theoretical examples and will focus on:

• Recognise and remove hazards
• Differentiate between Methodical and Logical approaches
• Apply the six-step and half split approach to fault-finding
• Correctly differentiate between symptoms and causes
• Produce Flow charts to aid future fault finding
• What is root cause analysis (RCA)?
• Why people don’t do use RCA & Three categories of root cause
• 5 stages in effective RCA
• Define the Problem
• Collect Data
• Identify Possible Casual factors
• Identify the Root Cause
• Recommend and Implement Solutions
• 5 whys & Fishbone diagram
• List and demonstrate their ability to apply logical fault-finding techniques to plant and equipment
