Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a structured, systematic process that ensures physical assets continue to do what their users require in their current operational context. RCM has proven itself globally across industries by reducing equipment failures, improving uptime, and optimizing maintenance strategies.

This comprehensive course explores RCM and its more advanced development, RCM II. Participants will delve into the principles behind RCM, explore real-world case studies, and participate in interactive workshops that simulate RCM analysis and implementation. You will learn how to integrate RCM with other maintenance strategies to enhance long-term asset performance and reliability.

Course Objectives

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Improve reliability and availability of plant equipment

• Audit maintenance performance and uncover improvement opportunities

• Design effective maintenance strategies for field-based assets

• Implement RCM processes and interpret results for practical application

• Apply data-driven methods for failure analysis and condition monitoring

• Integrate RCM with predictive maintenance and reliability growth concepts

• Make informed cost-benefit decisions for maintenance and spare parts

• Address key failure modes using primary and secondary maintenance actions
