12. Effective Equipment Maintenance Skills For Technician
TOPIC 12 - EFFECTIVE EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE SKILLS FOR TECHNICIAN
INTRODUCTION
Breakdown occurs because we do not know what causes the breakdown or we do not find out the causes of the breakdown before replacing the defective parts. It is a proven fact that poor maintenance results in equipment failure. The causes of equipment failure may be due to hidden defects, which were not uncovered and rectified before breakdown actually occurs. Hidden defects such as dust, dirt, abrasion, slackness, leakage, corrosion, scratches, cracks, vibration, noise, etc, are the abnormalities that lie beneath.
One major step towards achieving zero breakdown is to adopt a “self-initiated maintenance. The technician provides “first aid” as soon as the symptoms are noticed. This immediate action is required for safety reasons as well as preventing equipment deterioration.
In this course, participants will learn various methods and skills to implement effective maintenance practices
