Using RCM Blitz and AHM to Develop a Complete Maintenance Plan

From the first day that RCM Blitz™ became tool that I offered both training and facilitation in Reliability Centered Maintenance services I have told my customers that RCM should only be applied to assets where we will be able to show a return on investment in improved reliability as well as reduction in health, safety and environment incidents and accidents.

More than 10 years later I now can stand behind a tool that will quickly help your company build a viable maintenance plan for the remaining balance of your plant assets. The Asset Health Matrix developed by Allied Reliability Inc. and available through GPAllied is without a doubt a straight forward and comprehensive solution for building sound maintenance strategy for your non-critical assets.

In looking at 100% of the assets you maintain at your site of facility Reliability Centered Maintenance or RCM Blitz™ will provide a complete maintenance strategy for the top 5 to 20 percent of your assets based on actual failure modes resulting from your operating context and environment. For the remaining assets or balance of plant, the 10% that have the lowest criticality will receive a Run to Failure strategy 70 to 85 percent of non-critical assets will receive a maintenance plan developed by assessing common failure modes within the Asset Health Matrix.

The important thing to understand in regard to the Asset Health Matrix is this is NOT just a simple list of predetermined failure modes. This is a tool that takes into account your specific business and the consequences of each failure as it applies to your world building a unique and cost effective equipment maintenance plan.
