Reliability Centred Maintenance Course
Introduction:
Traditional methods of developing physical asset management strategies are no longer effective due to the complexity of modern technology and the severe repercussions of failure. Physical asset managers may now address the most urgent problems in an organized manner by utilizing a variety of tried-and-true analytical methods and management procedures. Since many of these methods overlap, they must be used logically and effectively.
Course Objectives:
At the end of the Reliability Centered Maintenance, you will be able to :
- Explore the components that comprise an effective maintenance program
- Understand the place of Reliability-Centered Maintenance in the business of maintenance and its role in determining the optimum maintenance program determining the optimum maintenance program
- Review the history and principles of RCM along with the various approaches
- Present a methodology for applying RCM using examples and working sessions
- Understand what is needed to implement RCM and its results
- Understand the role of condition monitoring and information systems in the implementation of RCM
Who Should Attend?
Reliability Centered Maintenance course has been specifically designed for people:
- Responsible for the maintenance function (maintenance managers, engineering managers, supervisors and technical specialists)
- Responsible for the assets themselves (plant managers and production/operations managers)
- With special responsibility for safety and environmental integrity
- Who actually maintain and operate equipment
- Anyone wishing to secure optimum performance from any physical assets, from the viewpoint of safety, environmental integrity, output, product quality or customer service.
