Operations Enhancement
Course #: VB30XX
Duration: .97 hours
What Students Learn: Any manufacturing system, no matter what it produces, must have certain components in order to operate efficiently. These features have been organized into a schematic, the Universal Systems Model, to show how they work together. This program explores each of those components. Program Activity Sheets (PAS) are available to further enhance the student's retention with a series of questions.

Course #: 286085
Duration: 5 hours
Course Prerequisites: Trades Safety: Getting Started (186001); Basic Industrial Math (Block X21); Practical Measurements (Block X22)
What Students Learn: The purpose of a preventive maintenance program is to locate possible machine or equipment faults before the machine fails.
Course #: 286086
Duration: 5 hours
Course Prerequisites: Trades Safety: Getting Started (186001); Basic Industrial Math (Block X21); Practical Measurements (Block X22)
What Students Learn: How to implement a preventive maintenance (PM) program is just as important as the why and when of such a program. It doesn't pay to create a well thought out and scheduled PM program only to have the lubrication, inspection, or repair tasks performed improperly. The objective of this unit is to show you how to perform these tasks safely and properly. This will include showing you typical PM tasks as they are performed on common industrial equipment.
Course #: 286087
Duration: 5 hours
Course Prerequisites: Trades Safety: Getting Started (186001); Basic Industrial Math (Block X21); Practical Measurements (Block X22)
What Students Learn: Predictive technologies measure one or more characteristics of machine operation, calculate the expected life of the monitored system, and then estimate the condition of equipment and, therefore, the need for maintenance on that equipment. With this information passed along to a good preventive maintenance program, the preventive maintenance team can make informed decisions on task scheduling and make the most of its maintenance and inspection tasks.
Course #: 286088
Duration: 5 hours
Course Prerequisites: Trades Safety: Getting Started (186001); Basic Industrial Math (Block X21); Practical Measurements (Block X22)
What Students Learn: When a company decides to begin a predictive maintenance (PDM) program, the first technology usually embraced is vibration analysis. Vibration analysis allows the technicians or other specially trained personnel to perform condition monitoring of equipment. Condition monitoring is used at first as a coarse comb to pull out those programs that will imminently cause downtime. Then the program can progress beyond condition monitoring to provide scheduling services for preventive maintenance and identification of redesigns that address repetitive faults.
Course #: 286089
Duration: 5 hours
Course Prerequisites: Trades Safety: Getting Started (186001); Basic Industrial Math (Block X21); Practical Measurements (Block X22)
What Students Learn: Vibration analysis alone cannot perform sufficient condition monitoring to meet the needs of today's industry. Vibration analysis cannot easily find electrical faults, air leaks, electrical discharges, metal particles or contamination and breakdown of lubricants, or other important monitoring processes. Other technologies are needed for these tasks. This study unit will introduce you to these other technologies. In this study unit, we will investigate many different technologies that can and should often be part of a good predictive maintenance program (PDM). This course is designed to discuss these technologies at a basic level. If you're considering working with one of these technologies, it's very important to understand how to operate the equipment involved and to gain additional equipment training from the manufacturer. These actions will provide you with a safe and profitable expanded PDM program.
Course #: ELIM07
Duration: 36 hours
What Students Learn: Practical English and the Command of Words is a self-paced study course designed to improve the speaking, writing, and reading skills of today's working adult. The course consists of 48 four-page study units, with each unit containing a variety of topics. All units are structured to enhance the adult's interest and to guarantee organized and orderly learning. Effective communications skills are brought to life with real world examples, using a practical "hands-on" approach.
