Certificate Workshops Tues, March 18th Enhance your professional standing and your learning experience by registering for pre-conference workshops. RCM/EAM/ MTrain-2008 already provides 12 hours toward CMRP and other professional Re-certification. Each workshop is valued at 6 additional hours of credit toward CMRP or CPMM Re-certification. A certificate will be provided for each workshop. Workshop #1 This is a new workshop greatly expands on the theme of how to be successful applying RCM in any venue. It will be presented by a former practitioner and former commercial supplier of RCM analysis services with over 30 years experience overseeing application of the principles of RCM in military, industrial, utility and government activity applications. He has written extensively on the subject. His company no longer offers RCM analysis services, endorses no specific approach to RCM, Variants or Derivatives and has no financial ties to any organization that does. This workshop is based on Advancing Reliability and Maintenance. 3rd edition published in December 2007, he and his co-author, R. Keith Young, have taken a neutral-to-positive stance on all approaches to RCM. His intent is to educate prospective users and services providers to take a new look at RCM principles, various approaches available in the marketplace and potential benefits. His presentation describes pitfalls to avoid in order to improve chances for a successful outcome. For the Effects first time, readiness facAnalysis Standards • Descriptions of various approaches to “Classical” RCM, Variants and Derivatives: – – – – – – Classical RCM Super-classical RCM (RCM II) Experienced Based Maintenance Profit Centered Maintenance Risk Focused Maintenance Combinations of the above – – – – – – 80/20 RCM Modified Classical RCM Blitz RCM or RCM Blitz Value Based RCM Streamlined RCM or SRCM PM & PdM Program Conversion and Optimization Advancing Reliability and Maintenance by Jack R. Nicholas, Jr., P.E., CMRP tors to consider before entering into an RCM project are described and discussed. He has developed for presentation in this workshop a logical description, partially based on actual applications, of how RCM fits with other major maintenance and reliability initiatives such as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), 6 Sigma and Procedure Based Maintenance (PBM). In addition he will present for the first time a Preventive Maintenance Optimization logic that provides a screening tool for assessing current tasks, task periodicity and assignment criteria prior to preparation of procedures for their execution. Workshop Outline • History of RCM and rationale for its development and evolution in various organizations • Economic factors and forces that led to the development of RCM Variants and Derivatives, the Society of Automotive and Aerospace Engineers (SAE) RCM Standard and its relationship to the SAE Failure Modes and • How RCM methodology fits into broader reliability and maintenance strategies with actual examples of strategy overviews presented • How to link RCM with other maintenance and reliability processes and methodologies including, but not limited to Total Production Maintenance (TPM), Six Sigma, various “maintenance scorecards,” and other elements of asset management and assessment The Workshop leader during this one day effort will: • Lead a discussion on why RCM seems to be losing favor or has never been accepted by Maintenance and Reliability professionals in many industries • Encourage participants to describe their concepts of better or more logical bases for maintenance and reliability programs • Suggest alternative outcomes that may be possible from the final steps of any RCM method for consideration and discussion by workshop participants • Suggest for discussion what practitioners who recognize the benefits of RCM can do to improve the end results of any RCM project • Describe ways of bringing about culture change where needed to achieve buy-in to an RCM-based maintenance and reliability strategy • Avoiding pitfalls in the execution of projects utilizing any of the above approaches and the obligations of both client and services providers to assure success • Assessing readiness to successfully apply RCM to facilities or vehicles by internal (self )audit of an organization • Evolution and rationale for metrics to determine whether or not to perform any approach to RCM analysis on a particular asset and, when you decide to do so, metrics to use for three phases of an RCM Project (Analysis, Implementation and Benefits phases) • Between 60 and 80 metrics will be defined for possible use in various venues • Results of an RCM Survey conducted by Internet with over 200 participants in early 2005 for more info or to register visit us online - www.maintenanceconference.com http://www.maintenanceconference.com
