Reliability Focused Maintenance

Course Summary

 

For many vital industries, there is a strong focus on the maintenance of a vast number of processes and facilities to ensure they can function effectively at all times. Reliability focused maintenance is a valuable maintenance method that reduces the up-keep costs and reduces function down-time. 


 

 

Reliability focused maintenance has a long history within the aviation, pharmaceutical and military sectors due to its efficiency. Reliability focused maintenance involves a thorough risk management process to identify all potential risks of all functions. Alongside general preventative measures and corrective actions, reliability maintenance further guarantees that these functions have minimal impact on overall business function and the health and safety of those involved.


 

 

Organisations using this method will have a great understanding of the potential failures of each function and their potential detriment. Having an in-depth understanding of failure will allow for better insight on how to perverse the function and avoid failures. With these in mind, the correct individuals can create an ideal maintenance plan and schedule to ensure full productivity of the function.


 


 

During this course, you’ll learn:


 

To understand the importance of reliability focused maintenance within an organisation.
To assess the concepts, principles, and standard practices of reliability focused maintenance.
To compare the advantages and disadvantages of reliability focused maintenance.
To recognise the consequences of poor reliability focused maintenance for an organisation.
To evaluate health and safety regulations relevant to the maintenance progress to ensure full compliance.
To explore the types of organisations and industries reliability focused maintenance is best suited for.
To incorporate risk management into reliability focused maintenance to ensure full safety for all individuals involved.

 

This course is designed for anyone responsible for function maintenance and those who wish to increase their knowledge of reliability focused maintenance. It would be most beneficial for:


 

RCM Engineers
Contracts and Sub-contractors
Operations Managers
HSE Officers
Risk Analysts
Senior Engineers
Risk Managers

 

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world examples of maintenance actions and schedules to highlight key factors influenced by reliability focused maintenance and potential areas of further risk.


 

 

The participants will be granted various opportunities to fully develop their understanding of the taught content by partaking in various learning methods, including presentations, video materials, demonstrations, and practical activities. This combination of methods will ensure they can develop a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge and related practical skills.
