The very first step in RCM analysis involves estab

The very first step in RCM analysis involves establishing assets functions in their current operating context.

All function statements shall contain a verb, an object, and a performance standard (quantified in every case where this can be done) as per SAE JA1011 5.1.3.

RCM-R® fully meets this important standard requirement for asset functional analysis.

Certainly, it does it in a novel way.

RCM-R® breaks up a complex function statement into multiple statements containing only a single performance level.

Subdividing functions as much as possible facilitates failure mode identification by concentrating on a narrower function of the asset each time.

The traditional approach to describing functions reduces most primary function analysis to a single function.

RCM-R® segments the statement into multiple single– performance level function statements.

Another RCM-R® feature on functional analysis entails separating hidden from evident functions for assessment.

Ensuring that your communications plan is effectiv

Ensuring that your communications plan is effective is critical when implementing planning and scheduling in maintenance.

One key factor which can lead to success is the updating of the communication plan before the Milestone review with your steering committee.

By implementing some easy to track simple leading indicators, it is easier to notice that the change is happening in the organization.

Do you perform Asset Criticality Analysis when performing your RCMRs?

ACA (Asset Criticality Analysis) enables us to understand how relevant each asset is towards attaining the organization’s economic and non-economic goals.

We can better decide whether RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance), PMO (Preventive Maintenance Optimization) or any other reliability improvement process may be worth doing for each asset after performing ACA.

Join Jesus Sifonte of Conscious Reliability for the live sessions from 2-4pm EST on 06, 13, 20 & 27 June, 2022 as we talk more about Asset Criticality Analysis.

Did you know that Work orders are a source of valu

Did you know that Work orders are a source of valuable data for RCM-R® and other maintenance management tools and processes?

The premise of the RCM-R® process is that failure data documented in corrective work orders can be statistically analyzed to find the predominant failure pattern of each critical failure.

Then, the RCM analysis can be fine-tuned with statistical failure data analysis for better maintenance strategies and tasks interval assignment.

Work order data is the framework of any good reliability improvement program.

Therefore, maintenance and reliability engineers must make sure that important failure and repair data is included in their critical assets corrective and proactive work orders.

Standard ISO 14224, used as part of the enhancement tools of RCM-R®, recommends which repair data should be recorded on critical assets for maintenance purposes, and there is no better place to include it than the maintenance work orders.

Join Jesus Sifonte of Conscious Reliability for the live sessions from 2-4pm EST on 06, 13, 20 & 27 June, 2022 as he talks a bit more about the data integrity required for RCMR.

In general, the RCM-R® process requires operation

In general, the RCM-R® process requires operational, technical, reliability, maintenance-related, failure, material, financial, safety, and environmental data, which is analyzed for decision-making purposes.

The product of the decision-making process is an optimized maintenance plan yielding maximum value to the organization.

Thus, both maintenance- and operation-related documentation on downtime, spare parts consumption, total PM man-hours, people skills, corrective maintenance man-hours, failure events, quality defects, and so on is needed.

Jesus Sifonte of Conscious Reliability talks more about Data Integrity and its role in RCMR in the live sessions from 2-4pm EST on 06, 13, 20 & 27 June, 2022.

While most may view competency development as a function of HR, it also applies to maintenance planning and scheduling.

Through the development of a competency matrix, we can determine which of our team members require different approaches or types of training to understanding planning and scheduling.

A supervisor would require a different level of competency training to understand their role in planning and scheduling compared to an operator’s role.

This differentiation can help your team in developing the right training material to implement P&S.

RCM-R® is a very effective process for determining maintenance tasks for critical physical assets, particularly when applied in the maintenance and operational phase of their life cycle.

Thus, data integrity at the task level is a must for attaining optimum asset reliability as a result of an RCM-R® assessment.

Relevant data coming from corrective and proactive work orders is a key factor for establishing the current state of a critical asset performance to set out the basis for improvement.

Asset data integrity is a complex process existing at both the task and the strategic business levels.

In RCMR, the first step is the Pre-work Phase which consists of Data Integrity and Asset Criticality Analysis.

Data Integrity is highly dependent on the analysis team members’ knowledge about asset’s operation, maintenance and reliability.

Asset data integrity is all about ensuring that data is accurate and, in the right context, meaningful.

Asset data is the collection of facts (data) about a plant asset that provides relevant information to those who require it in a form that is intact, complete, and reliable.

Reliable data comes from properly collected facts, obtained through well-structured data collection systems converted into accurate information that allows managers to make sound asset management decisions.
