Good RCM Requires Knowledge and Experience

Reliability Centered Maintenance - It's a seven step process so it should be very simple, just follow the seven steps, do a little RCM Blitz and the next thing you know the reliability of your equipment, people and business will improve over night.

I wish were that simple.

Seems like every time I hold a RCM Facilitator Training event I have someone in class that believes that he/she can run right back to work and start facilitating perfect RCM events without ever being mentored through an RCM analysis.My answer is always the same, "You're free to try it out and good luck". Facilitating a RCM analysis takes a little more than understanding the seven steps of RCM. The skill set of a RCM facilitator is three fold;

- Knowledge of RCM

- Knowledge of Failure Modes

- Knowledge of Group Dynamics

You have to be able to manage the team and lead the process! If your lacking in one of these areas your RCM analysis will suffer and the results from your RCM analysis will suffer as well.

At Allied Reliability we are the only company in the world to offer RCM Blitz Facilitator training and mentoring. Lead by RCM Blitz creator Doug Plucknette, all of our RCM Blitz Facilitators and Trainers have achieved certification. If your people arn't certified, your not doing RCM Blitz!
