Learning Objectives

  • Learn how to develop logical, justified maintenance strategies following the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach.
  • Leverage powerful reliability software to optimize your plans in a simulated environment leading to effective plan implementation. Analyse and utilize failure data to drive improvement.
  • Deliver successful outcomes and meet business objectives through quantifying and calculating business benefits and risk reduction.

Key Learnings

  • Discover how to analyse failure data by going further than just MTBF; this course introduces the Weibull distribution and demonstrates using software how this methodology will drive superior maintenance results.
  • 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.
  • By utilizing software to logically follow the step-by-step pathway to optimized maintenance strategy development the course will drive excellent asset performance at low cost and risk.

Why you should attend:

  • 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
  • Continually under-performing due to current design not meeting business goals
  • Consistently exceeding your maintenance budget
  • Currently using too many generic or inconsistent strategies
  • Want to learn the framework to move out of reactive state to a proactive state
  • A need to optimize spares due to significant downtime, unnecessary spending but unsure how to plan

Day 1

  • Analyzing failure data. Utilizing MTBF & MTTR and explaining the flaws.
  • Introducing the Weibull distribution and its benefits for Reliability data analysis. The importance of analysis at a failure mode level and applying the corresponding Weibull shape.
  • Practical exercises analyzing failure and suspensions data with Weibull. How to analyse with limited failure data. How to be more efficient with failure analysis.
  • Introducing 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. Analyzing the Run-To-Failure strategy.
  • Inspections, predictive maintenance & preventative choices. Understanding P-F intervals.

Day 2

  • Learning by doing exercises; understanding the complexities of calculating maintenance justification without computers.
  • 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 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.
