Name: RCM Blitz
Session dates: 9/14/2010 - 9/16/2010
Duration: 3 Days
Session Fee: $1495
Location: Charleston, SC
Presenters: DougPlucknette
Description: This course teaches the fundamentals of Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM). This course focuses on preserving equipment functions by identifying appropriate Preventive Maintenance (PM) tasks, Predictive Maintenance (PdM) tasks, failure finding tasks and other actions that protect against failure or mitigate the consequences of failure. Examples and exercises give participants “hands on” experience to help them begin to master RCM concepts.
Who Should Attend: Maintenance Managers and Supervisors, Reliability and Maintenance Engineers, Maintenance Technicians, Production Managers, Supervisors, and Operators, Plant Engineers, and others involved in operating and maintaining of assets.
What You Will Learn: • The importance and history of RCM
• RCM terminology and fundamental RCM philosophies
• Identifying and allocating resources for a RCM program
• Preparing for an RCM analysis
• Techniques for prioritizing systems for analysis
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for RCM
• How to evaluating failure consequences
• How to select PM, PdM and failure finding tasks and intervals
• What other function protective actions are available
• When Run-to-Failure (RTF) is appropriate
• Packaging and implementing RCM analysis results
• When to use a subject matter expert team
• Common barriers to implementation and how to get buy-in from all levels

Learn Why RCM Blitz is Different
I work someplace different every week.
A different town, city, state, or country.
The people I work with usually speak a little differently than I do. They have a different accent and may even speak a different language.
The things we perform RCM Blitz™ on are different for nearly every company I work with. I have performed Reliability Centered Maintenance analysis on bottle fillers, dishwasher conveyors, chemical tanks, oil platform equipment, air compressors and barge unloaders. I can honestly say that while each one of these systems had several components or parts in common, each system and each result was different.
We have performed the exact same RCM analysis techniques for identical pieces of equipment at locations that were only 1500 miles apart and we discovered several different failure modes and several different mitigating tasks. While the equipment was identical, the locations as well as design and installation practices were very different and as a result the reliability of these two assets was very different.
With all of the differences I have listed, I still completely understand when a customer calls or makes the statement in the first day of training that "I'm not sure this will work for us....we are different."
I like to reply that I believe you’re different, so am I and so is the process you about to learn about. It works on everything and it depends on the knowledge, experience, and determination of your people and their desire to improve.
