An international petrochemical products manufacturer wanted to expand the knowledge of their engineering team on rolling element bearings specific to the refinery. NSK was consulted and after a review of the plant designed customized training course, based on product knowledge, lubrication requirements, bearing application and failure analysis. The training was delivered in 3 sessions over a 2 day course given to 20 engineers. Training increased the engineers knowledge of bearing operations within their facility to offer increased performance and reliability.

Fitters spend an average of 1.75 hours per week changing bearings using their own methods of fiting and removal. Applied to 20 maintenance engineers at $21.40/hour | $39,010 | After extensive training with NSK Experts, fitting and removal time was dramatically reduced to 1 hour / week. Applied to 20 maintenance engineers at $21.40/hour | $22,292 | |
Total Costs | $39,010 | $22,292 |
