SKF Training Handbook | 2

Welcome
To the world of SKF Knowledge Engineering
I’m pleased to say that our 2013 Training Handbook is our most comprehensive yet. Our expanded choice of courses will now offer
industry and application specific training within rotating equipment, using a system approach to machinery life extension. Students will
gain an understanding of the current trends in maintenance methodologies, and how precision and proactive approaches and their direct
interaction with machinery fits into an overall reliability program.
Another important undertaking will be the introduction of our Continuous Improvement courses, titled “Living Program”. Courses in this
section, will relate to methods and technologies used to evaluate maintenance work and strategy, thereby “closing the loop” and making
maintenance a continual improvement process.
You will notice an even wider choice of online and other learning methods, all aimed at enabling our clients to build and experience their
own self-paced learning environments. We’re moving to give you the training you want, using the tools and technology you want and
developing your personnel to the competency level you want. Naturally, that also means at the time, place and pace that suits you.
Importance of Skills Training

It is no secret that recent years have brought challenging times for maintenance organisations. Companies have turned to downsizing,
re-engineering, and a host of other methods to increase profit and remain competitive in the new world market. It is time we realise that
the potential payoff to be gained by optimising production and minimising costs through a well trained, creative thinking, enthusiastic work
force is far greater than size reductions.
Why SKF for reliability maintenance training?

By combining our technical knowledge and close working partnership with our clients, SKF has developed a training platform for your
employees, which is able to reflect industry best practices and ensure your operational staff are equipped with the latest knowledge on
machine reliability.
We incorporate a variety of training methods into our classes to ensure the participant is engaged with the topic as it increases overall
learning effectiveness.
It is our belief that this year’s Training Handbook will offer genuine help to develop a successful knowledge base for your staff and meet the
demands of today’s market.
On behalf of SKF Reliability Systems, I welcome you and your team to one of our training courses in 2013.

Drawing on years of SKF productivity experience, we can help you identify improvement
opportunities that will yield positive bottom-line results, then suggest a strategy for implementing a
program to achieve them.
Our goal at SKF is to help you achieve maximum return on your reliability investment. The SKF Client Short Courses
Needs Analysis is a performance benchmarking process with proven success in many industries.
The SKF Client Needs Analysis enables this understanding, combining our experience in reliability-
focused maintenance with your knowledge of plant conditions. The goal is to provide useful,

Step 2: Training Needs Analysis
Highest skills improvement opportunity for staff

Training Needs Analysis (TNA): 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 TNA 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.
TNA is conducted with individuals or a group of your staff from the following work areas:
Managers Superintendents/Supervisors Engineers Technicians

• Maintenance • Mechanical Maintenance • Mechanical • Mechanical
• Reliability • Electrical Maintenance • Electrical • Electrical
• Engineering • Planning and Stores • Reliability • Reliability
• Condition Monitoring • Condition Monitoring
• Application • Lubrication
Targeting fourteen areas of Competency for Improvement

Opportunities for improvement are determined when Training Needs Analysis is analysed. Typical
improvements fall in the following areas:
1. Bearing and Seal Technology 6. RCA/RCFA 11. Energy and Sustainability

2. Power Transmission 7. Non Destructive Testing 12. Maintenance Strategy
3. Lubrication 8. Thermography 13. Planning and Scheduling
4. Oil Analysis 9. Motor Testing and Diagnostics 14. Spare Parts Optimisation
5. Vibration Analysis 10. Alignment and Balancing

Improving Bearing Reliability
in Food and Beverage
Course Overview
Maintaining proper hygiene is key to product safety compliance. Given the typical operating
environment for the Food and Beverage industry, this can be very challenging. High-pressure
washdowns can wash away bearing lubrication for rotating equipment, which often leads to
corrosion that severely limits bearing life, increases maintenance costs and creates flaking-
related hygiene problems. This course discusses the range of technologies to help prevent
these and other issues common to aggressive environments.

Electric Motor Maintenance

Course Overview
Electric motors are among the highest in reliability incident reports. For many companies, this
leads to a continual cycle of costly repairs and unplanned downtime factors that can hurt the
bottom line.
Since 40% to 70% of motor failures are related to bearings, it’s no surprise that high-quality
bearings are key for reliable motors. The right bearings alone won’t deliver the results you
need. How parts are installed, lubricated, handled, stored, aligned, and maintained is equally
important
This training course will train students to disassemble, inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot AC
Induction motors including a practical motor overhaul.
Key Learning Outcomes Bearing arrangements

Spare Parts Management and

Inventory Control - Level 1
Course Overview
In a maintenance repair and operating (MRO) environment, spares and inventory management
refer to those activities in an organisation that ensure at any time the optimal and timely availability
of spare parts in order to meet maintenance demands. In today’s competitive environment, it is
important that the management and optimisation of spares inventory is always considered in the
context of supporting the maintenance function to meet its operational and business goals. Simply
reducing inventory is not enough. Ideally, the aim must be to maintain sufficient inventory and no
more such that production is never impacted by stock-outs whilst keeping inventory costs to a
minimum. In this way, inventory management and optimisation add real value to any business.
