Introduction
Benchmarking studies on various oil refineries around the world have shown that rotating equipment accounts for more than 20% of all maintenance and inspection costs. Also, rotating equipment is often at crucial nodes of the process and is frequently critical to production. Therefore, a failure would lead to unacceptable downtime costs.
This rotating equipment and continuous reliability improvement CRI program aims to provide delegates with a comprehensive understanding of how to use a combined predictive and preventive maintenance approach coupled with proper failure monitoring to achieve maximum reliability and performance from rotating equipment.
What is Continuous Reliability Improvement (CRI)?
Continuous Reliability Improvement, or CRI, refers to an ongoing process of enhancing the dependability and performance of equipment with a focus on minimizing downtime and extending the equipment lifecycle. The CRI approach integrates various reliability improvements and maintenance strategies to improve system reliability steadily over time.
Those seeking to solidify their proficiency in the maintenance and reliability of rotating equipment can further their credentials through a rotating equipment certification course. This rotating equipment and continuous reliability improvement CRI course delves into the basics of rotating equipment, focusing on critical practices for maintaining rotating equipment and enhancing overall equipment reliability.
