Products
The following suite of training products are intended to give every organisation the capability to ensure that its physical assets will continue to meet their expecations.
PAM 101 The Basics (2 days)
This course covers the basics that every person in the organisation that operates, maintains, or interfaces with physical assets should know. Operators and maintainers will learn why and how physical assets deteriorate, how their actions and inactions accelerate deterioration, and what they should do to improve reliability, durability and reduce costs.
PAM 201 Planning and Scheduling (4 days)
This course covers all of the above in a lot more detail as well as how to go about developing failure management policies and routine maintenance programmes. Setting up the master data for a planning and scheduling system including work orders, processes for reporting failures and work requesting, prioritising, planning for quality and all the logistics including spares, scheduling in the face of reality, getting operations committment to a schedule, assigning work, executing work, getting proper feedback of useful data and then using the data to generate a set of performance indicators that support improvement actions.
PAM 202 Shudown Management (3 days)
This course covers the essential topics for successful shutdown management and covers topics like justifying the shutdown, the shutdown organisation, developing an initial task list, using all the tools such as degradation analysis and other condition based techniques to determine exactly what work should be included or excluded from the list. Building a WBS that supports management reporting and status accounting. Planning for all the job and site logistics to ensure quality work and an incident free shutdown. Scheduling techniques including network scheduling, critical path analysis, resource smoothing and resource balancing to optimise or reduce resource constraints. Contract and contract management is an essential part of any shutdown. Status accounting using S-curves and earned value to track progress. An introduction to scheduling software and how to do a review and write a close-out report that enable lessons learned to be preserved.
PAM 301 Risk and Reliability Management (3 days)
This course covers failure management policy / tactics development in detail and adheres to the standard set by the RCM process. It takes the learner through the seven basic questions in a manner which makes it easier to grasp and apply. Tips and techniques for early gains and also getting buy in from all roll players to ensure the process is sustained and implementation is followed through.
PAM 302 Root Cause Failure Analysis (3 Days)
Unfortunately not all failures can be anticipated and however noble our intentions, failures may still occur. This course is about dealing with failures after they have occured in a manner that enables us to determine which failures are significant in terms of their impact and how to analyse them to determine their the root causes and eliminate them. RCA therefore closes any unanticipated chinks in the armour we built around our assets using the techniques we learnt in PAM 301
