FX Alumni Association organized a guest lecture in association with department of Mechanical Engineering for the Fourth year Mechanical students. Er. S.Prasanth., Engineer., R.K.M Power Engineering Pvt. Ltd., Chennai. delivered the guest lecture on “Maintenance and Reliability Engineering”. A heartfelt greeting to the resource person is extended by Dr. R. Samuel Hansen, HOD-MECH. The expert resource thanked the management for offering him this opportunity.
The guest lecture on Maintenance and Reliability Engineering provided a comprehensive overview of how these disciplines contribute to the sustainability and efficiency of engineering systems. The speaker emphasized the importance of establishing a robust maintenance framework that includes preventive, corrective, and predictive approaches. Preventive maintenance focuses on scheduled interventions to avoid equipment failures, while predictive maintenance uses real-time data to anticipate when repairs are needed. These strategies are essential in reducing unexpected downtimes, extending equipment lifespan, and ensuring the smooth operation of critical infrastructure.
The speaker explained the significance of reliability metrics such as Mean Time Between Failures, Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The Speaker explored Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), a methodology that prioritizes maintenance activities based on system reliability and safety, ensuring that resources are focused on the most critical components.
