Learning Objectives

  • Learn how to use the RCMCost module of Availability Workbench™.
  • Develop logical, justified maintenance strategies following the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach directly in the software.
  • Use the software to optimize your plans in a simulated environment leading to effective plan implementation. Analyse and utilise failure data to drive improvement.
  • Deliver successful outcomes and meet business objectives through quantifying and calculating business benefits and risk reduction.

Key Learnings

  • How to use the RCMCost module of Availability Workbench™ and understand where it fits into the whole suite.
  • Experience all the key features of RCMCost from model build through to simulations and results output.
  • Participate in real world exercises to develop optimised maintenance strategies, and select the best strategy as a group.
  • Linking the Weibull distribution to the logical Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach, this class will provide a justified outcome to maintenance strategies that can be implemented through to preventative maintenance documentation.

Why you should attend:

  • Interested in Isograph’s Availability Workbench™ and want to see and learn how to use it.
  • Currently following OEM recommendations, but would like to optimize.
  • High maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.
  • Want immediate performance improvement and to reduce costs, but don’t know where to start.
  • Currently using too many generic or inconsistent strategies.
  • A need to optimize spares due to significant downtime, unnecessary spending but unsure how to plan

Day 1

Introducing RCMCost and the RCM methodology approach for maintenance optimization.

  • How to justify maintenance by linking through Business Goals & Asset Strategies.
  • Identifying system boundaries, functional analysis & failure mode definitions.
  • Applying failure consequences for cost & risk, and failure frequencies. Analysing the Run-To-Failure strategy.
  • Inspections, predictive maintenance & preventative choices. Understanding P-F intervals.
  • Learning by doing exercises; understanding the complexities of calculating maintenance justification without computers.

Day 2

  • Building an RCM model from scratch. Performing task optimization as a group, identifying the optimal strategy & intervals, and justifying the reasons.
  • Grouping of tasks to create maintenance plans.
  • Preparing for implementation; load sheet into CMMS creation and preventative maintenance instruction documents.

Day 2 continued and Day 3 (Optional)

  • Further learning by doing exercises, add complexity. Building an RCM model from scratch. Performing task optimization as a group, identifying the optimal strategy & intervals, and justifying the reasons. Showing the comparison of cost & risk.
  • Importing failure data, creating Weibull sets, linking to the RCM model.
