RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE - 2026 UPGRADED VERSION

This course covers the principles of Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), a process used to determine the maintenance requirements of any physical asset in its present operating context. RCM involves asking seven key questions about the asset or system being maintained:

• Functions and Performance Standards: What are the functions and associated performance standards of the asset in its present operating context?
• Functional Failures: In what ways does it fail to fulfill its functions?
• Failure Causes: What causes each functional failure?
• Failure Consequences: What happens when each failure occurs?
• Failure Significance: In what ways does each failure matter?
• Predictive/Preventive Actions: What can be done to predict or prevent each failure?
• Proactive Task Alternatives: What should be done if a suitable proactive task cannot be found?

Background and Importance of RCM

• RCM was developed by Stanley Nowlan and Howard Heap from United Airlines and emerged from one of the most important pieces of research ever done on equipment.
• RCM explains both the capabilities and limitations of scheduled Preventive Maintenance.
• RCM is a process to determine what should be done to ensure that physical assets continue to performas desired in their present operating context.

Course Objective:

• Gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to make our maintenance most effective and efficient.
• Recognize that maintenance tasks should be based on the consequences of failures.
• Learn when to use different maintenance tasks with the help of a Decision Diagram.
• Understand the six failure patterns and their impact on our daily maintenance activities.
• Apply Reliability-Centered Maintenance principles in our everyday tasks.

Why Attend This Course?

If you are satisfied with the way you and your team perform maintenance, then this course may not be necessary for you. However, if you have any doubts about the effectiveness of your current Preventive Maintenance strategy, despite your best efforts, then this course is essential. It will provide you with a deeper understanding of maintenance and help you improve your maintenance practices.

• It was very useful to recollect the basics of maintenance. Being a technical program, the way in which the faculty explained the concepts was very good and attractive. More positive insights were given during the presentation. The best part is that we are made aware of the lying human and latent cause behind any physical cause that leads to the failure.
