Some causes of failures appear to be imme diate or as seen by face value but they may be superficial causes. The act ual root causes may be hidden deep inside the components of machines and e quipment in terms of material of construction\, corrosion\, stress process es\, propagation of micro structure inter granular cracks etc.\, or other associated aspects surrounding machines and equipment\, in terms of operat ion\, inspection\, maintenance\, methods\, human machine interface and the overall management around these amongst other factors.\n\nNotwithstanding the causes of failure\, incidents having Health\, Safety and Environment (HSE) outcomes from failures of these machines and equipment while in serv ice in oil &\; gas industries are increasingly being seen globally. Suc h incidents result not only in serious human injuries but also fatalities resulting from major consequential incidents such as fire\, explosion\, to xic/lethal releases\, etc. Depending upon stakes and risks involved\, the concerned industry must pay due attention to root causes of such failures of the machines and equipment and do everything possible to prevent\, mini mize and contain these failures\; else quick escalation of incidents beyon d control of an organization can wipe out the assets and end the business of a company.\n\nRoot Cause Failure Analysis provides an organization with a systematic methodology and actions to minimize/eliminate the failures w hich ultimately harm the people\, damage the equipment or property\, cause loss of production or mete out adverse impact to the environment. With ou r team of experts\, you will be able to write an effective root cause fail ure analysis report by the end of the training program.\n\nLearning  Obje ctives\n\n Learn fundamental concepts around failures of machines and equ ipment\, both moving and static\n Understand relationship between failure s of machines and equipment and the associated HSE incidents\n Comprehend failure mechanisms of various identified major machines and equipment\n Learn and use Root Cause Failure Analyses (RCA) to arrive at root and gene ric causes of failures of machines and equipment\n Check effectiveness of the implementation of CAP’s and PAP’s\n Understand and practice skil ls to draft and generate RCFA Report\n Comprehend the importance of RCFA Close-out\n Cascade lessons learnt from the failure Incident and the RCFA Report\n Address accurately the various Insurance\, Legal and Statutory Implications\n\nTraining Methodology\n\n Lectures (Tutor-assisted online and classroom as per prevailing situations/requirements)\n Seminars &\ ; Presentations\n Group Discussions\n Assignments\n Case Studies &\; Functional Exercises\n\nBenefits for Your Organization\n\n Minimize adve rse impact on business continuity by preventing the failures of machines a nd equipment and the associated safety incidents through implementation of recommended actions from the RCFA report\n Reduce greatly the costs asso ciated with failure incidents such as insurance premiums\, compensation to employees\, legal fees and regulatory/statutory penalties\n The culture of RCFA leaves a positive impact on customers\, lenders\, insurance underw riters\, management system certification agencies\, regulatory &\; stat utory authorities\, industry and societal spectrum at large\n\nBenefits fo r You\n\n Development of confidence by practicing techniques and procedur es involving RCFA\, and thus proving to be a successful professional irres pective of their trade\n Since RCFA and the associated HSE excellence are seen as important attributes for all professionals of all trades (not onl y Inspection\, Maintenance and HSE department)\, this course will help dev elop a very important aspect in their professional journey which will even tually benefit whichever company they would work for\n With knowledge gai ned in this training course\, delegates will develop a safe attitude towar ds his professional\, personal\, family and social life\n\nTarget Audience \n\n All line functions at all levels – Trainees\, interns and officers \n Managers\, senior managers in operation\, maintenance\, inspection\, e ngineering\, other line disciplines\n Exclusively\, Inspection\, Maintena nce and HSE Professionals at all levels\n Middle and senior management (a bite-sized customized part of this course)\n Non-line functions such as office managers and finance professionals dealing with insurance and statu tory compliance's\n\nCourse Outline\n\nFundamental Concepts and Some Failu re Analysis Tools\n\n Reliability Engineering and Predictive Maintenance\ n Failure Mode Effects Analysis\n Fault-Tree Analysis\n Cause-and-Effec t Analysis\n The Fish bone Graph\n Sequence-of-events diagram\n Bow-Tie method\n Introduction to Root Cause Failure Analysis\n Purpose of RCFA\ n Effective use of RCFA\n Personnel Requirement\n Conditions for using the method\n\nRoot Cause Failure Analysis Methodology\n\n Reporting a Fai lure Incident or Problem\n Symptoms and Boundaries/Conditions\n Perceive d Causes of Problem\n Event-Reporting Format\n Failure Incident Classifi cation\n Typical Failure Incident-Reporting Form\n Equipment Damage or F ailure\n Operating Performance\n Economic Performance\n Safety\n Regul atory Compliance\n Data Gathering: Interviews\, Questions to Ask\n Colle cting Physical Evidence\n Analyze Sequence of Events\n Design Review: Mi nimum Design Data\n Objectives of the Design Review\n Application/Mainte nance Review: Installation\, Operating Envelope\, SOP's\n Maintenance His tory and the associated Procedures and Practices\n Observations &\;
