Criticality Analysis: Reducing Critical Failures or their Effects
This engineering online PDH course will describe the reasons for conducting a criticality analysis and the step-by-step process for completing one.
Over time as equipment ages, its condition and the condition of surrounding infrastructure may become degraded, and performance may decline. Clearly, the static criticality has remained the same, but the surrounding infrastructure (including predictive and preventive maintenance, spare parts, and protective disciplines) may change. It is important to ensure that those elements put in place to counteract the negative effects of failures of critical equipment remain effective. The discussion included in the course describe why you might find it necessary to conduct a Criticality Analysis at your facility or for your major assets.
Instances when either current performance or obvious changes (like the sales of an asset) signal the need to take actions to address shortcomings, Criticality Analysis is a tool that can provide a thorough and effective approach to responding to the need.
This 5 PDH course is intended for mechanical, electrical, chemical or any engineering discipline that is responsible for mitigating the adverse effects of failures of critical components.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the common causes to perform a criticality analysis
- Gaining a general overview on how to convince management that the Criticality Analysis will more than pay for itself while addressing obvious needs for improvement.
- Learning how to prepare and conduct criticality analysis
- Understanding how to conduct criticality analysis
- Learning how to implement the activities identified by the Criticality Analysis and reports coming from it
