Reliability-Centered Maintenance for Industries
Details
One of the underlying assumptions of maintenance theory has always been that there is a fundamental cause and effect relation- ship between scheduled maintenance and operating reliability This assumption was based on the intuitive belief that because mechanical parts wears out, the reliability of the equipment is based on its operating age. It follows that the more often the item is overhauled the better protected it was against the likelihood of failure. Over the years, however, it was found out that many types of failures cannot be prevented no matter how intensive the maintenance activities. Extracted from the manuscript of Nowlan and Heap But the most valuable lessons learned by the Airline Industry is that maintenance is not about Preventing Failures but understanding & dealing with the consequences of failure and this is what a true and meaningful maintenance is all about. Almost every industry have some form of Preventive Maintenance where they scheduled their equipment for some re- placement and overhauling activities on a time-dominated pattern. But despite the very best and noble efforts, a lot of unexpected problems, breakdowns and failures still occur on the equipment and every single hard knock maintenance know and have experience about this. Worst, operators of equip- ment complains, that Preventive Maintenance group had just made their equipment worst after performing their routing PM overhauling. There is a detailed and thorough technical explanation behind this. Whilst, others think about maintenance as transitioning from a Preventive to Predictive Maintenance, while some think it about transitioning from reactive to proactive maintenance. These people have been truly misinformed. No disrespect, but am not against Preventive Maintenance, but I’m against people who abuse the use of Preventive Maintenance and continuously add intrusive or force maintenance activities into the never ending list of PM activities to be done. In view of this, I would like to invite your key people on this one time event on "Reliability-Centered Maintenance" that will provide each and every maintenance an indebt understanding on what maintenance is all about, what it can do and what it cannot do so that we can grasp an understanding on how we can do maintenance on our plants. This course will make you think differently on how you perform your maintenance.
Outline
RCM Course Objectives:
- Provide a deeper understanding on what it takes for our maintenance to be most effective and efficient.
- Realize that the feasibility of performing maintenance tasks will always be based upon the consequences of the failure itself.
- Know when to use the different maintenance tasks with the aid of a decision diagram.
- Learn why even the most noblest efforts on Preventive Maintenance cannot prevent failures from occurring.
- Learn how to integrate RCM in our maintenance activities.
