Applied Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Determine appropriate preventive maintenance requirements and failure mitigating strategies

The purpose of this course is to broaden the knowledge of the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) process and illustrate how RCM can apply within an industry-neutral application. The discussion will dive deeper into the various aspects of RCM and different methodologies applied (SRCM, RCM2, RCM Turbo, ..etc) in order to identify the most appropriate approach for a successful implementation. RCM introduces three basic concepts for asset management. Identify what is important, define what should be done, and change the existing programs is what RCM practitioners will possess and commune when applying the RCM process.

We will also study some techniques that will engage people to change the existing program, as well as explore general RCM project steps.
