Course Introduction:

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) finds its roots in the  early  1960s,  when  the  initial  development  work  was performed  by  the  North  American  civil  aviation  industry. “Maintenance   Steering   Groups”   was   put   together   to formulate maintenance strategies that was cost effective, and able to keep their aircraft in a safe operable condition. Over   the   centuries   this   technique   was   formulated   and refined     into     the     principle     of     “Reliability     Centered Maintenance” which is today widely used in industries such as  petroleum,  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  companies, electric   utilities,   food   processing,   railways,   government agencies,   armed   forces,   facilities   and   other   firms   and industries.

RCM is a systematic and structured process used to decide what must be done to ensure that any physical asset, systemor process continues to do whatever its users want it to do.

It is taking into consideration the primary performance parameters of the asset, possible failure mode and consequence and lastly a suitable failure management policy.

This course is designed to familiarize you with the principles and the process of implementing a RCM program. It will help you to apply the rules of RCM through cross-functional review groups in order to produce robust and cost-effective asset management programs, by applying the four maintenance strategies, i.e. corrective, preventive, predictive and pro-active.

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Implement an effective preventive and predictive maintenance in all types of industries
• Apply proper systems in preventive and predictive maintenance programs generally used in industry according to standards
• Understand the principle of Reliability Centered Maintenance which is widely used in industries particularly in petroleum, chemical and other facilities
• Apply project initiation through planning and preparation, set-up review and selecting analysis for RCM
• Determine failures and root cause of failures, failure modes and effects and identify the consequences of failures
• Enumerate and select types of maintenance tasks through pro-active maintenance that includes scheduled restoration tasks, scheduled discard tasks and scheduled on-condition tasks
• Discuss types of predictive techniques and explain pro-active task as well as the implementation in preventive and predictive maintenance
