Instant RCM

I don't know about you, but I have always liked a good training course. A dynamic instructor, well thought out and laid out training materials, solid real life training examples and interactive class examples. Combine all of these things and you're now attending a course where you can really learn how to apply a structured process and improve your business.

When we designed the RCM Blitz process and RCM Facilitator training modules, we worked hard to meet the above listed criteria. We wanted to ensure that the people we trained in RCM Blitz understood the process and were able to apply the techniques learned in training back at the workplace. As a result, the people to elected the attend RCM Blitz facilitator training would in turn become successful RCM facilitators.

Over the past several years, we have been approached several times by companies wanting to put our courses on CD and offer them on line for a reduced price. You all know the gimmick "The Instant RCM Blitz Training CD - for a one time price $599.95 you can now purchase the complete RCM Blitz training series just send us your credit card and we'll send you the CD!" "Complete the slides on our CD and you'll soon be doing RCM all on your own!"

Let me give you some good free advice, if you believe you can learn RCM without formal instruction and mentoring, save your money, buy a book on RCM and read it. You'll save yourself five hundred and fifty dollars and have the same probability of success.

If you really want to learn to become a certified RCM facilitator, attend a RCM Facilitator Training class, sign up to be mentored through a couple of RCM analyses and learn RCM the right way. Companies with successful RCM efforts, invest in RCM training and certification and as a result they experience the benefits delivered from a proven methodology. Even more impressive, every certified RCM Blitz facilitator has completed at least two RCM analyses that provided a return on investment that exceeded the cost of training and implementation and continues to to return on that savings year after year with improved reliability and lower maintenance costs!

RCM Short Cuts - Be Careful!

When it comes to RCM Training, at Allied Reliability, Inc. we know the best RCM is not always the fastest!

If there is one thing I know for certain it is this; the day man first learned to walk, he wanted to run. The drive to move faster and do things in less time will always be a part of mankind and who we are. Once we learn to make something we need to make it faster and as soon as we begin making it faster, we begin to measure the fastest times ever, the most in the least amount of time and so on.

Reliability Centered Maintenance and RCM Training are no different; as soon as we expose someone to RCM they want to learn to do it faster. My reply to those who want to do RCM faster, "Learn to do RCM right first, then you can learn to do it faster." At Allied Reliability, Inc. we offer RCM Training in one of the worlds most proven RCM methodologies; RCM Blitz. Our RCM Facilitator Training and Certification program was developed to ensure your RCM Facilitators become RCM experts increasing the probability that your company will have a proven RCM effort that becomes part of your business culture. As a result, Allied Reliability and RCM Blitz are proud to boast that over 85% of our clients have proven mature and successful RCM efforts!

The Enjoyment of RCM Moments

In almost every RCM analysis I facilitate there comes a moment in time when you see someone on the team come to realization that this RCM process is going to make a difference. The best part about facilitating the process is you get to be a witness to that moment several times a week. Once each person makes that realization you can feel their excitement in the room, and as a facilitator you roll that excitement into the momentum of the RCM analysis. This moment, this realization, will help to ensure that the tasks identified in this analysis will be implemented.

As I provide training seminars and RCM facilitations, I am often asked "What makes RCM Blitz different from other RCM methodologies?"While there are several differences, one of the biggest is we care about our clients, and we care about the success of each and every RCM analysis we do! As a result more than eighty percent of our clients continue to perform RCM analyses following training and mentoring.

A better question might be "Why do your clients continue to perform RCM analyses when so many other companies fail?"At Allied Reliability. our RCM Blitz Facilitator Training goes above and beyond the training provided in other methodologies. Our RCM Facilitator Training courses are designed to instruct facilitators who have the drive to achieve RCM Facilitator certification and to achieve this certification they must select, complete, implement and show the success of each and every RCM analysis. As a result each RCM they complete will show a return on the time and money invested in improved reliability as well as health, safety, and environmental performance!
