Forsthoffer Associates Inc. - Turbo Machinery Reliability Consultants

Site Reliability Workshops

We have continuously discovered that the "Root Cause" of Field Reliability problems is ------. The lack of awareness of Rotating Equipment Component Function among Site Operations, Maintenance & Engineering Personnel.

Forsthoffer Associates, since 1990, has presented Site Reliability Awareness Workshops to over 100 clients globally. During this time, we have taught over 6,000 Operators, Machinists & Engineers the function of all major Rotating Equipment Components and how to effectively & practically monitor these components for a cost-effective Site Predictive Maintenance Program.

All of our Site Reliability Awareness Workshops are custom designed to meet our clients' specific learning objectives. Using our database of over 175 "Desktop Publishing" learning modules, we assemble a workshop manual that contains site specific exercises, drawings and site visits to assure all learned principles can be immediately implemented.

Our Site Reliability Workshops provide all attendees with a high quality reference manual custom designed for the workshop and a formal report issued to plant management two weeks after the presentation. The Workshop Report contains workshop attendee Evaluation Results, Instructor Observations concerning each principle presented and extremely Valuable Recommendations for Continuous Improvement. These recommendations formulated during the workshop, provide valuable cost effective recommendations than can be immediately implemented to solve expensive "Bad Actor" reliability issues.
