Duration: 2 Days

INTRODUCTION

Reliability – centred maintenance (RCM) is based on the following precepts:

  • A failure is an unsatisfactory condition. There are two types of failures: Functional failures, usually reported by operating engineering staff, and potential failures, usually discovered by maintenance engineering staff.
  • The consequences of a functional failure determined the priority of maintenance effort.

A reliability – centred maintenance programme includes only those tasks which satisfy the criteria for both applicability and effectiveness. The applicability of a task is determined by the characteristics of the item, and its effectiveness is defined in terms of the consequences the task is designed to prevent.

Objective

  • Develop a working knowledge of RCM systems
  • Differentiate between the different classes of maintenance
  • Understand better the design, construction, operations and maintenance requirements of equipment and systems
  • Implement strategies and methodologies to create an effective maintenance programme
  • Enhance their knowledge and skills to identify and address operational problems at all levels.
  • Implement mechanisms to measure equipment performance at all levels
  • Analyse and understand the impact of RCM on the maintenance strategy
  • Develop and implement an effective maintenance budget
  • Use life cycle costing techniques to deliver best practice maintenance
  • Implement maintenance plans that are cost effective and aligned to the organisation’s strategic goals
  • Improve performance by developing detailed specifications with service partners
  • Establish and effective maintenance team

Who should attend?
