Course Introduction
RCM has been around since long time and has been used extensively in Industry since the early 1990’s. RCM is a very structured approach however variations have been developed to streamline the process. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a process used to determine what must be done to ensure that a physical asset (Machine – Production Stage – etc.) continues to do what its users want it to do in its present operating context for the longest possible period at the highest possible efficiency. RCM has a Long and Rich history of success in improving asset performance for industries and companies around the world and in many different industries. With so many different RCM’s history and its founding principlesways to follow how can a company interested in adopting RCM determine what approach to take? RCM II is the more rigorous development of RCM.
RCM’s history and its founding principles.
In this course participants will learn from about RCM’s history and its founding principles. We will gradually build a Maintenance System based on RCM principles. Interactive sessions simulating an RCM analysis will provide participants with some appreciation of the RCM process and its relation to other maintenance methodologies. Case studies will be presented throughout the course to relate to practical side. It focuses on RCM applied in Industry, principally the Power Sector and other discipline such as Oil & Gas Field. Modern Plants are more complex than their forerunners and hence a more scientific approach to Maintenance is required. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) has long been recognized as an excellent methodology for applying this scientific approach to the development of maintenance plans. Maintenance Managers today realize that maintenance plans must also be based on sound reliability principles. Guesswork is simply not good enough any- more. Also, safety has become paramount. It is no longer accepted to expose personnel, plant and the environment to the results of poor maintenance practices. RCM considers all these issues and is invaluable for addressing modern
Course objective
