had the opportunity to complete Dr. Eduardo Calixto’s training programme on Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) Analysis, and it really changes my way of thinking.

Dr. Calixto brings a rare combination of deep theoretical expertise and practical, real-world experience. Throughout the programme, complex concepts were explained clearly and structured in a way that allowed immediate application within operational environments. The course content was highly relevant to industrial asset management, particularly within high-risk and performance-driven sectors such as oil and gas, energy, and chemical industries.

What stood out most was the strong emphasis on practical application. The training did not focus solely on theory, but provided robust methodologies, case studies, and tools that could be directly implemented to support reliability modelling, risk-based decision making, and lifecycle cost optimisation. This has had a lasting impact on how I approach maintenance strategies, and enable investment decisions for my clients.

Dr. Calixto’s delivery style was engaging and professional, encouraging interaction and critical thinking. He ensured that participants not only understood the models and techniques, but also how to challenge assumptions and interpret results effectively. 

I would recommend this training to professionals involved in asset management, reliability engineering, or project and operational leadership. It provides a solid foundation and practical toolkit that delivers long-term value.

"Dr. Calixto boasts profound expertise in the RAMS field. Thanks to his meticulous training and professional coaching, our team successfully optimized the product R&D process, compiled standardized fault manuals, and unified the specifications for product failure management."

"It was very insightful to learn from you and in fact your Book on RAM in Railway I think is one of the best materials that have been reading on the subject."

"I participated in the FMEA/RCM training in 2019, at a time when I was working as a maintenance manager in a dairy industry, which is highly demanding. The experience was extremely positive, especially because of the clear, structured, and very pragmatic way the concepts were presented by Dr. Eduardo Calixto.

The training allowed me to consolidate essential methodologies for maintenance management, particularly in identifying failure modes, risk analysis, and prioritizing activities. The concepts of RCM and FMEA directly helped me simplify processes and make more informed decisions, focusing resources on actions with the greatest impact on equipment reliability and availability.

Currently, in the area of managing new CAPEX projects within the same type of industry, I continue to apply these concepts regularly. Both RCM and FMEA are fundamental tools during the project phase, especially in preventive risk analysis and defining actions to reduce or eliminate failures even before operations begin.

 In summary, I consider this training highly relevant and with a significant practical impact, not only in the context of maintenance but also throughout the entire life cycle of industrial assets."
