Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)

Introduction:

This course provides the fundamentals of Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM). The course is not process specific but gives the participant fundamental tools and knowledge required to participate in any RCM analysis process. The course will use life-cycle cost analysis and an understanding of equipment failure characteristics to achieve an optimal maintenance program that meets specified safety, environmental, and economic goals. The course focuses on preserving equipment functions by identifying appropriate preventive maintenance (PM) tasks, predictive maintenance (PdM) tasks, failure finding tasks, and other actions that protect against failure or mitigate the consequences of failure. This course will enable the candidates to learn RCM techniques and tools and stop maintenance problems and equipment failures, select maintenance strategy for in-field equipment and make use of maintenance history to improve your operation.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Make your operating plant and equipment more reliable and available for use
  • Audit your operational and maintenance performance to identify improvement opportunities
  • Design optimum maintenance strategies for in-the-field plant and equipment
  • Make proper use of RCM results to deliver the maintenance performance that your management want
  • Identify a clear approach to reliability improvement for both fixed plant and moving equipment
  • Select applicable technologies for Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
  • Appreciate how to use failure data and industry failure databases and standards
  • Introduce reliability growth principles on new, existing or old equipment
  • Make sound Cost Benefit Decisions and spares holding selection
  • Address dominant failure modes with correct selection of primary and secondary maintenance actions

Who Should Attend?

Maintenance managers, maintenance supervisors, reliability and maintenance engineers, maintenance technicians, production managers, production supervisors, operators, plant engineers, and anyone who is involved in operating and maintaining of assets
