IDCON has announced two special training events to help improve reliability and maintenance skills in the processing and manufacturing sectors.

IDCON founder and CEO Christer Idhammar said: “IDCON has always believed a good Preventive Maintenance Program has 90% or more of all Preventive Maintenance activities done as inspections while equipment is running. We find that if a client hasn’t updated their Preventive Maintenance programme in the last five years it probably doesn’t have the right activities.”

IDCON senior consultant and educational development officer Owe Forsberg stated: “Because we still find many organisations struggle with developing, implementing and sustaining an effective Preventive Maintenance Program, we have developed Equipment Reliability Training week.

“The training is designed to give the attendees concise information on how to develop a PM program, condition monitoring methods and tools and how to implement a sensible Root Cause Problem Elimination programme.”

The Equipment Reliability Training Week will be held in Raleigh, NC, US, 18-22 March. Because this is an in-depth course and hands-on training, it’s limited to 30 people.

The second special event is IDCON’s two-day Reliability and Maintenance Conference to be held on 23-25 September 2019. This conference is focused on the key elements of Reliability and Maintenance and features speakers from around the world discussing how their plants have implemented best practices, solved equipment problems and workforce development. The conference will feature 15 exhibitors.

Companies interested in registering for either event should contact the company via the enquiry form on this page.
