Mrs. Elisabet Blom , MSc, Vibration Specialist and Owner, Tremula Teknologi AB, Sweden. Failure investigation is always a trauma for the organisation. A trauma in witch everybody are involved, from the CEO to workers at all levels. The critical first couple of minutes, hours or days should include them all. It is not unusual that the whole investigation can take month or even years. This course will include investigation faces, what to do, how to do it and how to handle personnel and equipment. Technical challenges in a failure investigation are to not lock in on a root cause from the beginning. To provide this type of error there have to be an open mind working routine. This 2-day course will provide the engineers with a systematic thinking tool together with overview of different failure mechanisms. This course concentrates on the toolbox and how not to get caught in one possible root cause. The course will discuss different fatigue mechanisms and reasons for them to occur. For best learning experience, combine this course with course 401 Industrial Failure and Root Cause Investigation - for Management. This combinaton will benefit of a discounted rate when attending both courses the same week.
