effectiveness by ensuring that we perform
“The Right Work at the Right Time”
Today’s industries need maintenance workers who are proficient in precision skills. They are often expected to
perform tasks from a multitude of diverse craft areas, requiring a broad base of knowledge and skill.
The impact of practicing precision and proactive maintenance is not only to minimise the safety, environmental
and operational consequences of failure but also to reduce the cost of maintenance by reducing secondary
damage. Less secondary damage means that it takes less time to repair (labour savings) and consumes fewer
parts (material savings).
Unfortunately, training, like maintenance, has often lived in a reactive state only addressing needs when it is
too late to do an effective job. It has responded to perceived problems rather than root causes. Knowledge and
skills training, along with clearly defined work packages, are a must if any company wants to move to the next
level of discipline.
A properly designed, developed and implemented skills training program can certainly help companies
save money, increase productivity, and improve employee morale. Once an individual is trained on the right
activities, he must be provided with the time and tools to perform this new skills, be held accountable for his
actions, and be recognised for following through.

Figure 1: The four phases of maintenance maturity.

Moving toward a world-class facility starts with understanding where you stand today, and defining your objectives for the future.
Ideally the client needs analysis will give you the opportunity to gain a clearer perspective on your reliability program
that is generally not possible while immersed in daily activities. Once the analysis is complete, you will receive a
comprehensive report that includes:
• A summary of initial set-up details
• A Spider Chart illustrating a micro-level assessment for each question versus the maturity phases
• A Maturity Summary Matrix showing a macro-level assessment for all four main facets of the Asset Efficiency
Optimization Process versus the maturity phases
• A Ranked Deviation Chart illustrating your performance question-by-question versus your industry averages
• A detailed roadmap of recommendations for improving plant reliability
The SKF Client Needs Analysis allows us to identify improvements in specific work categories that can help you achieve
optimum results.

Step 2: Training Needs Analysis
Identify the competence gap
Training Needs Analysis (TNA): The shift to a fully integrated, reliability and risk-based asset management strategy
starts with a good initial understanding of where your staff are today and where your staff need to be to attain
optimum plant performance.
The TNA enables this crucial understanding, combining our experience in training and knowledge of maintenance
and reliability. The goal is to provide useful and meaningful information to help you focus on improvements for plant
performance.
TNA is conducted with individuals or a group of your staff from the following work areas:
Managers Superintendents/Supervisors Engineers Technicians

• Maintenance • Mechanical Maintenance • Mechanical • Mechanical
• Reliability • Electrical Maintenance • Electrical • Electrical
• Engineering • Planning and Stores • Reliability • Reliability
• Condition Monitoring • Condition Monitoring
• Application • Lubrication
Targeting 8 areas of Competency for Improvement

Opportunities for improvement are determined when Training Needs Analysis is analysed. Typical improvements fall in the
following areas:
1. Bearing and Seal Technology 5. Vibration Analysis
2. Power Transmission 6. RCA/RCFA
3. Lubrication 7. Maintenance Strategy
4. Oil Analysis 8. Thermography
A progressive and structured approach to Training Assessment

Skill Gap Analysis in all key areas of Competency.
Starting with the job function analysis to identify key areas for Skill Gap Analysis, the TNA will give you a clearer
perspective of personnel's competency and skill level. The results obtained through a well-designed online questionnaire
are analysed and a report will be created for you which include:
• Individual work profile
• Spider chart showing competency gap in key assessment areas
• Skill summary matrix
• Detailed proposal of training recommendation

Step 4: Measure Training Effectiveness
Ensure what is learned transfers to on-the-job behaviours
Training Implementation Support Program

An effective training implementation support will translate the generic knowledge gain and relate it to specific tasks.
Ideally task analysis should be performed with the use of maintenance personnel and validated by management. SKF
can assist you to build a training implementation support program which could include the following:
• Development of detailed work packages for critical tasks on critical assets that include step by step work instructions,
inspection criteria, specifications, fits, tolerance, spares and special tools required for the task.
• Identification of specific tooling requirement related to the tasks, assist and support team members in securing the
same and facilitate training on the special tools as required.
• Train team members on task execution based on the developed work packages and the delivered technical training
• Mentor team members through audits and assessments of task execution to embed and perpetuate best practice in
maintenance execution.
An effective implementation support program in combination with targeted training

delivers the requisite step change to maximise business results and minimise
resources employed.

Step 5: Work Category Re-assessment

Continuous improvement and re-enforcement
of skills matrix
SKF recommends customers to re-assess the improvements made in different work categories after a period of 12-24
months. It also allows customers to identify new improvement opportunities, thereby closing the re-assessment loop
and making this part of a continuous improvement process.
Key to success…
• A corporate culture willing to embrace the need
for change
• Commitment to implementing new technologies with
Process requisite financial, training and personnel resources
• Willingness to support processes for implementing
cultural and technology changes

Improving Bearing Reliability in Conveyors
Course Overview
Whether transporting coal, iron ore or other minerals on mine sites and quarries; or bulk materials such as wheat, wood
chips, sugar or alumina; bulk conveyors often endure harsh operating conditions that challenge component reliability.
These conditions range from heavy loads, to hot, cold, wet, dry, dusty, and dirty environments. Also, lubrication issues
and poor installation practices, all of which can significantly reduce service life for bearings and other components.
This course provides information for the successful installation and maintenance of rolling element bearings and
housings on conveyor pulley assemblies.

Electric Motor Maintenance

Course Overview
Electric motors are among the highest in reliability incident reports. For many companies, this leads to a continual
cycle of costly repairs and unplanned downtime factors that can hurt the bottom line.
Since 40% to 70% of motor failures are related to bearings, it’s no surprise that high-quality bearings are key for
reliable motors. The right bearings alone won’t deliver the results you need. How parts are installed, lubricated,
handled, stored, aligned, and maintained is equally important
This training course will train students to disassemble, inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot AC Induction motors
including a practical motor overhaul.

Spare Parts Management and Inventory

Control
Level 1 Courses
Course Overview
In a maintenance repair and operating (MRO) environment, spares and inventory management refer to those
activities in an organisation that ensure at any time the optimal and timely availability of spare parts in order
to meet maintenance demands. In today’s competitive environment, it is important that the management and
optimisation of spares inventory is always considered in the context of supporting the maintenance function to
meet its operational and business goals. Simply reducing inventory is not enough. Ideally, the aim must be to
maintain sufficient inventory and no more such that production is never impacted by stock-outs whilst keeping D
inventory costs to a minimum. In this way, inventory management and optimisation add real value to any business.
