Curriculum
Programme Structure
The programme is structured in 5 modules, listed below in order of study.
01
Principles of Technical Inspection, Operational Reliability and Risk-Based Maintenance Strategies
- Equipment typologies and criticality identification: impact on safety, continuity and cost of the life cycle
- Maintenance Approaches: Corrective, Preventive, Predictive, Proactive and Reliability-Centreed Maintenance (RCM)
- Inspection Master Plan: Frequencies, Acceptance Criteria, Responsible and Operating Windows
- Reading and interpretation of technical documentation: manuals, sheets, plans, tolerances and limits of operation
- Maintenance data management: history, traceability, work orders and evidence of intervention
02
Methods of inspection, fault diagnosis and evaluation of the condition of critical equipment
- Visual and functional inspection: deterioration criteria, checklists, early signs and systematic record
- Non-destructive tests and condition techniques: Thermography, ultrasound, vibration and basic analysis
- Diagnosis of recurrent failures: failure modes, symptoms, correlations and severity prioritisation
- Dimensional measurement and verification: clearance, alignment, wear and control of operational tolerances
- Root Cause Analysis: 5 Whys, Ishikawa, Verifiable Evidence and Corrective Actions
03
Preventive and predictive maintenance: procedures, lubrication, adjustments and management of spare parts
- Standardized Preventive Routines: Technical Cleanup, Retightening, Adjustments, Calibrations and Final Verification
- Applied industrial lubrication: types, compatibility, intervals, contamination and consumption control
- Replacing consumables and parts: change criteria, quality control and post-assembly validation
- Management of critical spare parts: criticality, minimum levels, obsolescence and agreements with suppliers
- Stop planning: sequencing, permits, coordination with operation and minimisation of dead times
04
Advanced corrective maintenance, complex interventions, and commissioning tests
- Corrective intervention protocols: rapid diagnosis, equipment isolation and control of collateral damage
- Safe disassembly and assembly: Tools, tightening torques, alignment and control of mechanical integrity
- Electrical and electronic faults: verification of protections, wiring, connectors and common components
- Functional and Load Testing: Acceptance Criteria, Degraded Modes, and Operational Stability
- Incident management during intervention: GO/NO-GO DECISIONS, Technical escalation and change log
05
Digitization, continuous monitoring and continuous improvement of equipment maintenance
- Instrumentation for predictive maintenance: sensors, thresholds, alarms and intervention criteria
- Analytics applied to maintenance: trends, anomaly detection and data-driven prioritisation
- Reliability strategies: Elimination of chronic failures, redesigns, standardisation and change control
- Energy management and equipment efficiency: consumption, performance, losses and operational optimisation
- Data Governance and Basic Operational Cybersecurity: Access, Integrity, Backups and Continuity
