8.30 – 11.30
MASTERCLASS A
Best Ways of Implementing TPM in Your Plant
Total Productive Maintenance provides the methods to measure and eliminate much
of the non-productive time, if implemented properly. It involves the cooperation
of the equipment and process support personnel, equipment operators and the
equipment supplier. This highly interactive session will equip you with the necessary
skills to implement TPM successfully within your facility.
TPM benefits and performance improvements
Autonomous Maintenance: How to encourage Operators to take up small
maintenance jobs
Planned Maintenance: root cause analysis and integrating RCM
Focused improvement and Kaizens including waste elimination: Lean Six
Sigma
Training to motivate people so that they work as a team
Continuous Learning Process: Setting goals for excellence
At the end of the masterclass, participants shall be able to:
Eliminate equipment breakdowns.
Reduce scheduled downtime.

MASTERCLASS B
Managing and Resolving Problems Related to Rotating Machinery
Operation
A major proportion of machinery problems are attributed to their improper
operation. Improper operation would eventually lead to poor performance, low
availability and eventually costly failures. This masterclass shall assist participants
identifying such operation related problems, introduce necessary solutions and
use lessons learnt to ensure future machinery installations are properly selected,
installed and operated for trouble free operation.
Several case studies shall be presented to demonstrate the criticality of the proper
machinery operation.
At the end of the masterclass, participants shall be able to:
Appreciate the criticality of proper machinery operation.
Identify operation related problems from mechanical ones.
Revise operating procedures for trouble free operation.
Recommend possible upgrades to manage/eliminate operation related
problems.
Properly specify, select and install future machinery for trouble free operation.

MASTERCLASS D
Detailing Classification of Equipment Inspection and Quality
Categories on the Bases of Criticality Assessment
Analyzing the use of critical rating assessments to identify various levels and
categories of inspection and certification is critical for hazards equipment used
in Oil & Gas Projects.
This assessment covers any main equipment, structure, components, assembled
parts and installations which may identify as critical items, severe and
catastrophic. The failure of proper assessment could cause or contribute
substantially to prevent or limit the effect of a major accident.
The masterclass will cover:
Procedures required to maintain the integrity and reliability of this critical
equipment.
Application of the criticality rating assessment (CRA) during the design of
equipment and material fabrication.
Case histories, when CRA has been used in major oil & gas projects.
Results of the study used effectively in organizing the design review and
verification and categorising the inspection classes on criticality bases.
