Organizational Competence Building

We don't just train people — we institutionalize capability so clients sustain improvements long after we leave.

What Is Competence Building?

Competence Building at Knar means creating lasting organizational capability, not delivering one-time training sessions. We:

  • Transfer proprietary methodologies and tools into your team's hands
  • Establish internal centers of excellence that self-sustain after engagement ends
  • Certify professionals to industry standards (SMRP, ISO, etc.)

Our goal: Your team independently runs models, validates results, and updates systems without ongoing dependence on external consultants.

Core Features

Hands-On Technical Workshops

Intensive training in Weibull analysis, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Lifecycle Cost (LCC) modeling, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) — not theoretical lectures.

Certification Programs

Aligned with SMRP Body of Knowledge and ISO 55000/14224 standards, preparing your team for professional certification.

Tool Transfer

We transfer proprietary tools like Kwvaat (value tracking framework) and custom analytics modules, with full documentation and support protocols.

Center of Excellence Development

We help you establish internal CoEs with governance structures, knowledge management systems, and continuous improvement processes.

Real-World Example

First SMRP-Certified Reliability Professionals in Colombia

Challenge: A national utility and defense sector organization needed to develop internal reliability engineering capability aligned with international standards.

Solution: We designed and delivered:

  • 120-hour intensive curriculum covering RAM fundamentals, Weibull analysis, RCM, and LCC
  • On-site labs with real equipment data from their operations
  • Simulation exercises using AspenTech Fidelis and custom tools
  • Audit readiness drills for ISO 55000 compliance

Result: Trained 45 engineers, with 12 achieving SMRP certification — the first cohort in Colombia. The utility now operates an internal Reliability CoE that independently performs RAM analysis and LCC optimization.

Behind the Scenes: Curriculum & Delivery

Curriculum Framework

  • • RAMGEN Methodology for standardized modeling
  • • SMRP Best Practices alignment
  • • ISO 55000/14224 compliance protocols
  • • Custom case studies from client operations

Delivery Methods

  • • On-site intensive workshops
  • • Simulation labs with real equipment data
  • • Mentorship and coaching for certification prep
  • • Post-training support and audit readiness

Outcome

Your team independently runs reliability models, validates results against operational data, and updates systems as assets and strategies evolve — no ongoing consultant dependency.
