RAM & PHM 4.0

Advanced methods for Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Prognostics and Health Management of industrial equipment

Course presentation

In recent years, the volume of data and information collected by the industry has been growing exponentially, and more sophisticated and performing analytics have been developed to exploit their content.

This offers great opportunities for optimized, safe and reliable productions and products, including optimal predictive maintenance for “zero-defect” production with reduced warehouse costs,  and improved system availability, with “zero unexpected shutdowns”. To grasp these opportunities, new system analysis capabilities and data analytics skills are needed.

The goal of this course is to provide participants with advanced methodological competences, analytical skills and computational tools necessary to effectively operate in the areas of reliability, availability, maintainability, diagnostics and prognostics of modern industrial equipment and systems. The course presents advanced techniques and analytics to improve safety, increase efficiency, manage equipment aging and obsolescence by setting up condition-based, predictive and prescriptive maintenance and asset management strategies.
