Introduction to Fault Finding Techniques for Maintenance Engineers - Virtual classroom
This is a one day theory based course that looks at a variety of fault finding techniques, methods and models to help delegates improve their fault finding and diagnostic techniques and corrective actions that can be applied to typical production systems and machinery.
Course content
- A logical approach to Fault Finding
- Definition of terms
- Symptoms and faults
- The Deming Cycle, DMAIC and 8D approaches
- Fault finding using the 5 step approach
- Manuals, flow charts, algorithms and fish bone diagrams
- Set boundaries model
- The 6 point technique and 5 whys approach
- Sensory inputs to fault finding
- Half split and Unit substitution approach
- Input to output method
