Reliability Centered Maintenance – Re-Engineered RCM-R

Reliability Centered Maintenance Re-Engineered (RCM-R) is about value.

Reliability Centered Maintenance – Re-Engineered

Is it needed?

In practical terms, “Reliability”, means keeping your systems operating at desired performance levels, without breakdowns. Reliability management is all about minimizing the frequency of unwanted downtime incidents. Those incidents (failures) have consequences to your business and sometimes also to safety, the environment and levels of risk to which you are exposed.

You need reliability. RCM-R is the best way to achieve it.

 

If your maintenance programs are not delivering the results you want:

  • Costs are too high.
  • The availability of your physical assets is below expectations.
  • You are experiencing too many unexpected failures.
  • There are too many safety or environmental incidents.
  • The output quality is inconsistent and there’s too much waste.
  • You experience breakdowns at, or shortly after startup from shutdowns.

What is it?
Reliability Centered Maintenance – Re-Engineered, RCM-R, is the most successful method for determining failure management strategies. We have built on and enhanced the basic RCM method described in Standard SAE JA-1011 and linked it with various international standards. We’ve also made enhancements that reflect our extensive experience using it in a variety of industries. 

Manufacturer recommendations are often not good enough, can (and often do) create more work than you need to do, require you to use far more material (spares) than needed, and they can even induce failures. If you rely on overhauls and replacements you are probably doing too much. RCM-R goes beyond traditional time and usage-based concepts of how things fail and deals with the real root causes of failures to minimize or even eliminate the consequences to your business. 

We have been working with RCM since the 1980’s, just after it was conceived, and before the first books were published. Our experience in RCM spans decades, continents, in several languages and cultures.

RCM-R Training

RCM-R Analysis Projects

Combined training, facilitation (by us) and mentoring of your facilitator(s) is available by our experienced RCM-R Consultants in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

Use of our RCM-R analysis worksheets is included for our analysis customers. Managing the data and analysis can be made simpler with our new DORA RCM-R Software.

Software:
We now offer our DORA RCM-R software including full support to your RCM-R analysis and for “Quick Maintenance” (QM) analysis. Several licensing options are available.

Testimonial:
“Conscious Asset taught us how to use RCM-R while we carried out an analysis on a safety-critical system. We alternated classes with practical project applications. That approach put what we were learning to immediate use. It really helped us to understand both the method and the system we were analyzing. When completed, we had learned a lot and gained confidence with RCM-R as well as our own system. We identified a number of previously missing actions that need to be taken with the system. We got way more than just a course – we got a usable result and now we feel a lot safer for it!”
