Mechanical
Integrity
Presented by Meridium
June 3, 2010
Houston, TX
Fixed equipment failures represent the majority
of failures in many asset intensive industries. These failures
not only cause lost production, but represent significant
business risk to the organization. This course will show
the user how integrating all the pertinent data that influences
mechanical integrity decisions can be used to make better
decisions as to when to inspect certain equipment and what
type of inspections to perform. This will not only “optimize”
the costs to perform those activities at a given risk level,
but will optimize the scope for major plant shutdowns. Comparisons
and contrasts will be used in the class to show the difference
between a typical mechanical integrity program (MI) program
and those that are able to leverage an integrated data platform
together with improvements in reliability work practices.
Audience:
•Maintenance Manager
•Maintenance Engineer
•Maintenance Technician
