This 90-minute masterclass is for Maintenance & Reliability leaders, offering a practical introduction to FLAB: Fasteners, Lubrication, Alignment, and Balance. While highly technical FLAB courses exist for specialists, this session delivers the essential foundation leaders need to drive uptime, cost control, safety, energy efficiency, and ESG improvement.  Most wear, failure, and unplanned downtime stem from weak FLAB practices – mechanical or electrical. Over 50% of the maintenance improvement value opportunity in asset-intensive industries is tied directly to FLAB. Leaders must elevate FLAB from back-of-mind technical detail to front-and-centre strategic priority.

• How poor mechanical and electrical FLAB practices drive failure, inefficiency, and cost
• The leader’s role in elevating FLAB through culture, systems, coaching, and planning
• The FLAB principles behind both mechanical systems (e.g., shafts, belts, fasteners) and electrical systems (e.g., lug torque, phase balance, power quality, harmonics)
• How to embed FLAB into preventive, condition-based, and corrective work using best practice guides and maturity models
