Data Data Everywhere – For what purpose? Which data is crucial to driving your organisation? How do we Analyse data to drive improvements? Course Overview Organisations generally collect enormous amounts of data. However, what data or information is really needed? How do we present the data that we have collected so that it is openly available and can be understood and used to drive the business? Is the data collected driving change? Structure of the Course This one-day workshop will enable participants to gain the necessary skills to collect, analyse and present data in an understanding and meaningful way and assist the decision-making process. It looks at how to translate data into useful and meaningful information that can contribute towards real problem solving, effective performance indicators, leading to the development of effective KPI’s, among others. Alternatively, if an organisation is in the process of selecting data collection methods and appropriate analysis, then this workshop will also help. Data analysis skills are essential to providing honest and accurate analysis, determining statistical significance, reliability, and validity on which to base their decisions, whether it is to improve quality, profitability, efficiency, or competitiveness. Improper statistical analyses distort findings and can mislead or negatively influence decision-making and the perception of the data collected. The correct analysis of data is a process of systematically applying statistical and / or logical techniques to describe and illustrate, condense, and recap, and evaluate data so that it can be used effectively. This workshop provides essential learning for staff at all levels of the organisation. Course content: 1. Data Types Discrete data Continuous data 2. Data Collection Sheet design Testing, prior to full-scale data collection 3. Data Input into Spreadsheet 4. Determination of Basic Descriptive Statistics Mean Median Mode Minimum and maximum values Range Standard deviation 5. Graphical Analysis Bar charts Line graphs Pie charts Scatter diagrams 6. Determination of Relationships between Factors Relationship between discrete factors Relationship between continuous factors 7. Use of Data in Decision Making 8. Establishment of Key Performance Indicators 9. Determination of Data Reliability 10. Summary Who would benefit from this Approach? Anyone who collects, manages, analyses and uses data to drive business performance. Delivery The course is delivered through virtual, tutor-led classes as structured above. The platform used is Adobe Connect which utilizes e-work rooms, video and streamed trainers.

RCM is just one component of an overall integrated Asset Management Process. All participants will complete detailed pre-course questionnaires before this 3 full-day course, enabling the trainer to tailor course content in order to meet specific delegate needs. Participant objectives are re-visited before, during and after the course, allowing the trainer to focus on outcomes and address any participant concerns and specific issues during the program. Training Objectives At the end of this course, participants will be able to: Develop skills to carry out successful RCMs and introduce the RCM process into their own and their company's daily activities. Be aware of our changing business environment and the need to apply RCM to drive continuous improvement, in safety, cost reduction, and minimise their environmental footprint Understand the impact of human reliability and the various methods used to improve this important area Understand the basics of Change Management and the methods used to securely anchor this process and make it routine Develop an appreciation for a holistic 'Asset Management' program, and know where the RCM process fits in, and the benefits it will deliver Target Audience Reliability Centred Maintenance is primarily a team activity and benefits from a cross functional team participation. This course is aimed at managers, engineers, technicians and operators at all levels who are responsible for the operation and maintenance of plant equipment and who will benefit from the elimination of bad actors (recurring equipment failure) and continuous improvement in the areas of safety, environmental impact, reliability and integrity.
