INTRODUCTION OF MAINTENANCE, REPAIR & TROUBLESHOOTING OF ENGINE SYSTEMS

A standby-generator is an essential equipment, normally installed at any premise which acts as an alternative power source supply in case the normal power supply (TNB) fails. Normally it is left unattended, and operates automatically during the failure of normal power supply. It is a static equipment, usually reliable but unexpectedly may give problems if it is not being maintained using appropriate procedures as required. It needs special attention in terms of close supervision, operations, testing, maintenance and troubleshooting. Failure of the standby generator to operate when there is a power supply interruption may disrupt the smooth operation of production/industries/businesses etc.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, participants would have learned to:

• To enhance the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of a standby generator;
• To reduce downtime due to failure of the standby generator;
• To ensure smooth operation of the standby generator, and
• To minimize cost of maintenance of the standby generator.

AFTER ATTENDING THIS PROGRAM, YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR JOB…

• With strengthened and enhanced methods for standby-generator maintenance management;
• With upgraded skills and knowledge on using various techniques for failure analysis, assessment and implementation for standby-generators;
• Able to predict, forecast and decide the most appropriate approach of standby-generator maintenance systems, tools and techniques for problem solving;
• Understanding the practical requirements of industrial standby-generator maintenance;
• Ensuring cost effectiveness and reliability through standby-generator maintenance management;
• Defining key performance indicators for standby-generator maintenance management functions;
• Able to prepare maintenance budget and spare parts control for standby-generators;
• Able to establish, plan and organize maintenance work and activities effectively for standby-generators;

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Maintenance Managers/Engineers/Supervisors/Technicians and those who are involved in the planning and executing standby-generator maintenance activities. This course is a must for anyone who is involved with maintenance at industrial plants, utilities or commercial and private building facilities. Attendees come from a wide variety of industries, skill-levels, company sizes, and job titles, so if you are not sure you will fit in or will benefit from the course, do not worry, you will.
