Course structure
The course will run over three days, from Tuesday to Thursday. We will guide learning through lectures, and industrial case studies which will enable strong interaction between academics, industry specialists, and delegates so that by the end of the course, delegates have not only a good appreciation of this technology and its role in their businesses, but also a network of contacts including leading experts in the field.What you will learn
This course will help professionals who are building teams for successful efficient asset management. It is important for engineers and managers in asset management, and for their teams, in forming better understanding of coupling business and technology of efficient asset management.
On successful completion of this course the delegate will be able to:
- Identify the impact of efficient asset management on business models and processes
- Define individual efficient asset management technologies, e.g. Condition monitoring, fault detection and isolation, prognostics
- Explain in a system engineering approach how individual technologies are applied to enable full exploitation of opportunities
- Illustrate the current approaches in efficient asset management as used by leading practitioners
