Reliability Centered Maintenance using ... RCM Blitz

Work alongside the author as he walks you through his step-by step method for applying Reliability Centered Maintenance, RCM Blitz, that focuses on manufacturing assets. RCM Blitz is a 5-part process, with an easy to follow flow diagram, that includes: 1.Up-Front Tasks - Those tasks required to ensure the success of the RCM Facilitators and Team. 2.Probability and Consequence - The steps needed to build the groundwork for understanding the importance of each individual failure mode and developing sound methods to prioritize RCM tasks. 3.Functions and Functional Failures - The to successful RCM analysis is understanding the importance of addressing maintenance at the functional failure level. 4.FMECA - The heart and soul of Reliability Centered Maintenance, this is where the work gets done, identifying failure modes, describing failure effects and developing tasks. 5.Follow-Up Tasks - These tasks are designed to help the team quickly move forward and drive the implementation of the RCM tasks. Follow-up is just as important as the analysis itself and like everything else it has a process.
