Keys to Success in the Maintenance and Reliability Plan

The Second Spanish Forum on Reliability and Predictive Maintenance toured twelve Spanish cities.

We assessed the level of interest shown by the attendees through a survey in which, among other questions, participants were asked to rate the seven presentations given.

All of the presentations were met with great interest by the attendees, although the one that received the highest score was “Keys to Success in Maintenance and Reliability Planning.”

To address the issues raised during the discussions regarding RCM and reliability, Preditec/IRM has planned a course on this effective methodology, aimed at technicians and engineers in both maintenance and production, to explain and clarify the topics that sparked the debate.

Why and how to implement RCM in order to properly allocate maintenance tasks among RTF, PM, PdM, and PAM

How these tasks, when properly distributed, contribute to increased production and better utilization of the plant’s design capacity, as well as to a reduction in maintenance costs

What do the basic concepts used in reliability mean—RER, MTTR, MTBF, Availability, Criticality, OEE…—and how can they be used as indicators to justify and measure the financial results achieved by applying best practices in our work?

Learn how to develop and manage an effective predictive maintenance plan—the foundation of RCM—and understand the techniques associated with it.

The course will be taught by our director of reliability, José P. Rayo Peinado, who has more than 30 years of experience in predictive maintenance and a reliability-focused approach.

Historical Development of Maintenance

The Four Maintenance Tactics

• Run-to-Failure (RTF) Maintenance
• Preventive Maintenance at Fixed Intervals (PM)
• Condition-Based or Predictive Maintenance (PdM)
• Proactive Maintenance

History of the RCM

Some Basic Concepts: Reliability, RER, OPRER, MTTR, MTTF, MTBF, Availability, Criticality, OEE

Why and How to Implement RCM : System Grouping, Boundary Definition, Asset Inventory, Criticality, Functions, Functional Failures, Failure Modes, FMEA, FMECA

Assignment of Maintenance Tasks: RTF, PM, PdM, PdM Techniques, Vibration, Thermography, Oil Analysis, Ultrasonic Testing, MCA, PAM
