OverviewThis course focuses is on equipment failure analysis and troubleshooting by combining the use of TapRooT® with Heinz Bloch's troubleshooting techniques from his book, Machinery Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting.
Find the root causes of equipment and machinery problems at industrial plants including utilities, petrochemical plants, manufacturing facilities, or refineries. Who should attend? Equipment failure analysis and reliability professionals, engineers, equipment reliability specialists, maintenance supervisors, mechanics, maintenance supervisors, and others who analyze equipment problems to find and fix their root causes.
In just three days learn the basics of the TapRooT® System for finding the root causes of problems PLUS the Equifactor® Equipment Troubleshooting Technique for Root Cause Failure Analysis of Equipment Problems. Once you find the real root causes using this systematic process, learn to develop effective fixes that will keep problems from happening again. Check your corrective action effectiveness using the SMARTER technique.
Also, learn to find and fix problems proactively BEFORE an accident or incident occurs and to analyze the Safeguards that keep problems from happening or from getting worse once a single Safeguard fails.

Learn what to include in effective presentations to management when presenting the results of a root cause analysis.
Course participants receive the book, Machinery Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting, the TapRooT® Book, the pocket sized Root Cause Tree® Dictionary, and a laminated Root Cause Tree®. In addition they get the TapRooT® Software which includes a computerized version of Heinz Bloch's Equipment and Component Troubleshooting Tables. The software list price is $1895 when purchased without training but is included in the course fee for this course! That makes this course our best value. You get $2,095 worth of books and software in a course that only costs $995. It's almost like attending the training for free!
Remember, there is a $500 discount if your company has a site license or you own software (please install before the course as a copy of the software will not be provided).
Course Guarantee: Attend this course. Go back to work and use what you have learned to analyze accidents, incidents, near-misses, or quality problems. If you don't find root causes that you previously would have missed and if you and your management don't agree that the corrective actions that you recommend are much more effective, just return your course materials and we will refund the entire course fee. No questions asked - No hard feelings - It's that simple.
Don't wait. Now is the time to learn effective techniques to troubleshoot equipment failures and find and fix their root causes.
