Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
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 Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Make operating plant and equipment more Reliable and Available for utilization to reach to Optimization Condition.
- Audit Operational and Maintenance Performance to identify Improvement Opportunities.
- Design Optimum Maintenance Strategies for in-the-field Plant, Equipment, and Sub-systems.
- Make proper use of RCM results to deliver the High Performance Maintenance Activities.
- 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 Life Spain Equipment or Systems.
