SKF Training Handbook


- MALAYSIA
Welcome to the world of
SKF Knowledge Engineering
Our 2016 Training Handbook contains a wide range of courses to support you in
developing a successful training programme for your employees.

SKF training courses are based on over 100 years of experience and knowledge of rotating machine reliability
that is unmatched in the world. We have established close working partnerships with our clients. As a result, we
have gained a unique insight into the processes and challenges that every major industry faces today.

In the current business environment, companies who really stand out are the ones that invest time and money
in upgrading the skills of their employees and helping them maximise their potential. The same companies, who
continually create opportunities for their employees to learn, will in time reap the rewards of their investment
and stay ahead of their competition.

From an industry perspective, SKF training courses focus on enhancing the efficiency of plant machinery and
equipment assets, which are integral to the production process in your business. Your employees will have the
opportunity to learn from our experienced instructors, as they impart their knowledge on ‘best in class’ reliability
maintenance practices.

Our partnerships with global certification councils along with educational institutions in Asia Pacific will
provide your staff with key knowledge of emerging technologies in the field of engineering, specifically rotating
equipment. With comprehensive training sessions that involve ‘hands-on’ learning experience, your employees
will be equipped with SKF knowledge that enables them to become highly skilled technicians who will add value
to your business.

We would like to extend our congratulations to you in making your best business decision – that is, to invest in
training for your employees. At the same time, we warmly welcome all participants who register for our courses
in 2016. We wish you an enjoyable learning experience!

Best Regards

Gavin Garland

Our goal at SKF is to help you achieve maximum return on your reliability investment. The SKF Client
Needs Analysis (CNA) is a performance benchmarking process with proven success in many industries.
Advanced

Moving toward a world-class facility starts with


understanding where you stand today, and defining your
objectives for the future.

Ideally the CNA will give you the opportunity to gain a clearer perspective on your reliability
programme that is generally not possible while immersed in daily activities. Once the analysis is
complete, you will receive a comprehensive report that includes:

• A summary of initial set-up details


• A Spider Chart illustrating a micro-level assessment for each question versus the maturity phases
• A Maturity Summary Matrix showing a macro-level assessment for all four main facets of the Asset
Efficiency Optimisation Process versus the maturity phases
• A Ranked Deviation Chart illustrating your performance question-by-question versus your industry
averages
• A detailed roadmap of recommendations for improving plant reliability

The SKF Client Needs Analysis allows us to identify improvements in specific work categories that can
help you achieve optimum results.

Step 2: Clients Training Needs Analysis

Clearly Identified skills improvement opportunity for staff

Client Training Needs Analysis (CNA-Training): The shift to a fully integrated,


reliability and risk-based asset management strategy starts with a good initial
understanding of where your staff are today and where your staff need to be to
attain optimum plant performance.
The CNA-Training enables this crucial understanding, combining our experience
in training and knowledge of maintenance and reliability. The goal is to provide
useful and meaningful information to help you focus on improvements for plant
performance.
CNA-Training is conducted with individuals or a group of your staff from the
following work areas:

Managers Superintendents/Supervisors
• Maintenance • Mechanical Maintenance
• Reliability • Electrical Maintenance
• Engineering • Planning and Stores

Course Content
• Working from existing corporate information

where RCA will be beneficial:
– Machinery failures resulting in actual or
potential loss of plant output
– Machinery failure that represents a large or
unbudgeted repair cost
– Safety, health or environmental breaches
– Repetitive failures that collectively represent
an excessive maintenance cost
– Non conformance in maintenance strategy
• Prioritise incidents and formally launch the
RCA study by defining the problem
• Collect and preserve evidence that will
provide evidence on the incident
• Expose the causes of the incident by building
a “why?” tree. In general each incident will
have three types of root cause:
– Technical causes – the immediate technical
cause of the failure
– Human causes – actions or inactions that
triggered the technical causes
– Organisational causes – organisation factors
that lie behind the human cause
