Engineering Training

This three day course is taught by Ramesh Gulati, who is the world leader in this area and the author of 'Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices'.

The M&R fundamentals course will boost your technical workforce's understanding of reliability & maintenance principles and help create a sustainable reliability culture to maximize the benefits.

This comprehensive workshop provides a structured, end-to-end approach to understanding, implementing, and sustaining Industry 4.0 technologies in manufacturing environments.

Participants will gain:

• A foundational overview of current and emerging technologies such as AI, digital twins, machine vision, and predictive maintenance.
• A step-by-step guide to integrating these technologies into production systems, including ROI calculations and cost-benefit analysis. Strategic planning tools to develop a sustainable roadmap for digital transformation, with a focus on maintainability, scalability, and long-term value creation.

Designed for manufacturing professionals, engineers, and decision-makers, this workshop bridges the gap between technical implementation and strategic execution, empowering participants to lead successful Industry 4.0 initiatives.

Lean 101 is a class designed to introduce students to the principles of Lean Manufacturing, focusing on efficiency and waste reduction in processes. Students will learn how to identify and eliminate unnecessary steps through a combination of lectures and hands-on activities.

This TPM workshop provides students with a high-level introduction of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). The information shared in this session will provide an understanding of TPM (definition, importance, and key components), explain the benefits of TPM implementation, review the TPM tools and techniques, discuss real-world applications of TPM, and provide examples of successful TPM implementations.

This workshop will provide in-depth exposure to ergonomics definitions, goals and background along with discussions and examples of ergonomics tools for ergonomic evaluations and improve the ergonomics of a company.

Two-day hands-on course covering fundamentals of aluminum alloys and useful characterization methods. Topics to be covered include an overview of the Chemistry-Process-Structure-Property-Performance (CPSPP) paradigm for material development, as well as the effects of alloying elements and processing methods on phases, transformations, and microstructures. Live demonstrations will include aluminum characterization and property assessment (microstructure analysis, mechanical testing, formability testing, etc.). casting, hot/cold rolling, forging/pressing, etc.

This workshop is designed to assist individuals and organizations to understand the key processes of project management, to initiate a project and to plan for resources, project risks, communication, and change control. It provides insight into the mechanics of managing and executing a project successfully through the closeout phase. It also provides a structured, planned approach to leading and facilitating teams, providing participants with practical tools to generate ideas and determine potential solutions, evaluate effectiveness of alternatives, reach consensus, and to effectively present results to key sponsors and stakeholders.

This two-day workshop explores how Industry 4.0 tools can be used to enhance your condition-based monitoring program to increase asset reliability. This is a hands-on interactive workshop that uses the simulated Industry 4.0 factory in our i4.0 Skills Accelerator Lab.
