Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Training
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Training course is designed to build your core Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) competency. RCM training provides the learners with information on Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) for the acquisition and systems engineering. Participants will learn about RCM process and application of RCM, RAM analysis, modeling and simulation.
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a process to ensure that maintenance tasks are managed and performed efficient, cost-effective, reliable, and safe. Maintenance tasks can be categorized as reactive, proactive, preventive, predictive, or involve nondestructive inspections. An effective RCM program and process will manage comprehensive cradle-to-grave asset integrity management program. RCM is used to model and document the entire process throughout the assets, system, equipment, infrastructure, or component life cycle.
Participants will learn how RCM is used to ensure maintenance and inspection tasks are centered around improving the reliability and safety of equipment and assets.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for acquisition professionals, Logistic engineers and managers, system engineers, analysts, plant engineers, facilities engineers, maintenance and operation professionals, capital project managers, asset owners and employees with little or no Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) experience. The course is also useful for those who have experience with RCM but have never had any formal training on the standard.
