2013 SKF Training
Handbook
A comprehensive reliability and maintenance
skills training program from SKF
SKF Regional & Australasia Training Courses
I’m pleased to say that our 2013 Training Handbook is our most comprehensive yet. Our expanded choice of courses will now offer industry and application specific training within rotating equipment, using a system approach to machinery life extension. Students will gain an understanding of the current trends in maintenance methodologies, and how precision and proactive approaches and their direct interaction with machinery fits into an overall reliability program.
Another important undertaking will be the introduction of our Continuous Improvement courses, titled “Living Program”. Courses in this section, will relate to methods and technologies used to evaluate maintenance work and strategy, thereby “closing the loop” and making maintenance a continual improvement process.
You will notice an even wider choice of online and other learning methods, all aimed at enabling our clients to build and experience their own self-paced learning environments. We’re moving to give you the training you want, using the tools and technology you want and developing your personnel to the competency level you want. Naturally, that also means at the time, place and pace that suits you.
Importance of Skills Training
It is no secret that recent years have brought challenging times for maintenance organisations. Companies have turned to downsizing, re-engineering, and a host of other methods to increase profit and remain competitive in the new world market. It is time we realise that the potential payoff to be gained by optimising production and minimising costs through a well trained, creative thinking, enthusiastic work force is far greater than size reductions.
Why SKF for reliability maintenance training?
By combining our technical knowledge and close working partnership with our clients, SKF has developed a training platform for your employees, which is able to reflect industry best practices and ensure your operational staff are equipped with the latest knowledge on machine reliability.
We incorporate a variety of training methods into our classes to ensure the participant is engaged with the topic as it increases overall learning effectiveness.
It is our belief that this year’s Training Handbook will offer genuine help to develop a successful knowledge base for your staff and meet the demands of today’s market.
On behalf of SKF Reliability Systems, I welcome you and your team to one of our training courses in 2013.

Drawing on years of SKF productivity experience, we can help you identify improvement
opportunities that will yield positive bottom-line results, then suggest a strategy for implementing a program to achieve them.
Our goal at SKF is to help you achieve maximum return on your reliability investment. The SKF Client Needs Analysis is a performance benchmarking process with proven success in many industries. The SKF Client Needs Analysis enables this understanding, combining our experience in reliability-focused maintenance with your knowledge of plant conditions. The goal is to provide useful, actionable information to help you focus on credible performance improvement opportunities.

Step 2: Training Needs Analysis
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 • Maintenance • Reliability • Engineering Superintendents/Supervisors • Mechanical Maintenance • Electrical Maintenance • Planning and Stores
Engineers • Mechanical • Electrical • Reliability • Condition Monitoring • Application
Targeting fourteen areas of Competency for Improvement
Opportunities for improvement are determined when Training Needs Analysis is analysed. Typical improvements fall in the following areas:
The Training Needs Analysis will give you a clearer perspective of personnel’s competency and skill levels. The results are analysed and you will be provided with a report which includes:
1. A summary of individuals or group of individuals work profile
2. A ‘spider chart’, showing a micro-level assessment of each question, with skill levels for each area of competency, opportunities for improvement as well as areas of exceptional performance (refer to spider chart above)
3. A skills summary matrix showing macro level assessment for each of the areas of competency 4. A detailed proposal of recommendations for improvement for the individual or group of individuals
