INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES - OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Course Introduction
This course is industry designed, to provide a broad understanding of the improvement methodology, concepts, and process. The methodology is presented with case studies and examples drawn from service, business process and manufacturing applications. The integration of manufacturing and maintenance is also addressed. With a heavy practice orientation, as much as a third of your time will be spent working through interactive practical exercises and assessments. This course is designed as an introduction to concepts and methodology.
Course objective
This training program is designed to provide an understanding of engineering related problems related to industry globally and a clear sense of what is required to effectively structure, establish measurements and solve problems. Participants will learn the goals and deliverables behind the solutions. Methodology as well as the most commonly used tools within each phase will be discussed. Participants will also learn how to support a problem solving initiative within their organization.
Learning Outcome
On successful completion of this course, the participant should be able to:-
- Understand the working of an ICE.
- Understand the methods involved to maintain ICEs
- Select ICEs better
course methodology
- The latest educational methods and strategies will be utilized.
- The course is designed to maximize delegate participation.
- Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily wrap-up sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with others and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions.
- The course shall be conducted through lectures, case studies, group discussions and exercises to reinforce participant’s learning.
Course Format
The course consists of formal content presentation interspersed with content quiz sessions. The presenter’s style involves intensive participant participation.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Manufacturing and process, executives, managers, support employees, operational managers, technicians, engineers etc.
