Instructor

Guido Van de Vyvere

Guido Van de Vyvere began his career as an engineer in the power generation domain. This allowed him to get a broad experience in the field working on different types of equipment, both in nuclear and in conventional power plants. Since 2001 he has focused on the maintenance of aeroderivative gas turbines in an international context. Today, he uses this broad experience on a.o. on root cause failure analysis.

Frameworks

Goals

Root cause analysis (RCA) is one of many quality improvement approaches used to identify, understand and resolve root causes of problems, incidents or accidents. It is an objective, thorough and disciplined methodology employed to determine the most probable underlying causes of problems and undesired events within an organisation with the aim of formulating and agreeing corrective actions to at least mitigate if not eliminate those causes and so produce significant long term performance improvement.

Program

The training course is divided in two parts:

  • PART 1 : general principles of root cause analysis, implementation and identification of the necessary parameter registration.
  • PART 2 : Example exercises of root cause analyses in common damage situations in power plants that must be solved interactively.

The training’s approach is very “practical” and “hands-on”, based on our own experience for handling cases. This course will allow you to perform/lead an RCA yourself (we will not be explaining just the basic principles), although it Is as well a kind of “skill” that improves by handling different cases.

Target Audience

Asset managers, quality assurance managers, plant operation engineers, maintenance engineers.

Practical Info

Please note that the course will only take place if the minimum number of participants is acquired.
