Reliability-Centered Maintenance provides valuable insights into current preventive maintenance practices and issues, while explaining how a transition from the current "preserve equipment" to "preserve function" mindset is the key ingredient in a maintenance optimization strategy. This book defines the four principal features of RCM and describes the nine essential steps to achieving a successful RCM program. There is an easy to follow example illustrating the Classical RCM systems analysis process using the water treatment system for a swimming pool. As well as the use of software in the system analysis process, making a specific recommendation on a software product to use. Additionally, t...
This book is a "how-to" generic approach with minimal theory by a well-known and very active participant in the leading maintenance organizations and conferences. The book offers a fundamental, common sense understanding of RCM. A significant portion is dedicated to SAE JA1011 compliant RCM. The book presents detailed processes that can be used when RCM is not applicable and presents a total solution for implementing RCM for any organization. The primary market for this book is anyone responsible for Physical Asset Management within an organization, at any level of authority. The material will be just as valuable to an organization's maintenance manager as it would to the organization's leader. The book's principles will be presented generically so they are equally applicable to any industry in the world that has assets to care for - military, manufacturing, mining, plastics, power generation, etc. There is also a secondary market for this book at colleges and universities teaching reliability engineering.
Completely reorganised and comprehensively rewritten for its second edition, this guide to reliability-centred maintenance develops techniques which are practised by over 250 affiliated organisations worldwide.
This book is the definitive guide to one of the Locksmithing industry's least understood tools - Rotating Constant Method of Master Key system design. Written in an easy to read language, it makes this previously often misunderstoodtechnique very clear. It covers many techniques generally unknown in the security industry. RCM, while quite simple once you fully understand it, is still considered an advanced technique. This book is your absolute best way to learn it. This book includes techniques such as the 'Defined By' label, and RCM subsets such as the Limited Position Progression (LPP), Limited Rotating Constant (LRC), as well as ""pure"" RCM for five pin, six pin or seven pin cylinders or cores. Every Commercial or Institutional Lock Shop should have this valuable training and reference manual available. Heavily illustrated throughout with many sample systems.
This manual outlines a comprehensive method of organizing an efficient maintenance program by applying the concepts of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). RCM combines professional intuition and a rigorous statistical approach, and recognizes that different maintenance strategies apply to different facility equipment: run-to failure, preventive, predictive, and proactive maintenance. The RCM approach applies these differing maintenance strategies in an optimal mix, to ensure that facility equipment is maintained sufficient to accomplish the facility mission without wasting maintenance labor. This guide is meant to help maintenance supervisors, managers, and technicians organize and operate an efficient and effective maintenance program in an environment of maintenance budget cutbacks.
This knowledge based handbook will cover step by step the process of developing a world class Reliability Centered Maintenance program at your facility.
Highlights of 2012 U.S. revenue cycle management study are : 1) 21 percent of United States hospitals plan to replace their core current revenue cycle management solution. 2) 2nd annual United States revenue cycle management study with unique trending analysis. 3) VOC insights from more than 360 U.S hospitals.
A properly implemented and managed RCM program can save millions in unscheduled maintenance and breakdowns. However, many have found the process daunting. Written by an expert with over 30 years of experience, this book introduces innovative approaches to simplify the RCM process such as: single vs. multiple failure analysis, hidden failures analysis, potentially critical components analysis, run-to-failure and the difference between redundant, standby, and backup functions. Included are real life examples of flawed preventive maintenance programs and how they led to disasters that could have easily been avoided. Also illustrated in detail, with real-life examples, is the step-by-step process for developing, implementing, and maintaining a premier classical RCM program. Senior management, middle management, supervisors, and craftsmen/technicians responsible for plant safety and reliability will find this book to be invaluable as a means for establishing a first class preventive maintenance program.
Reliability Centered Maintenance – Reengineered: Practical Optimization of the RCM Process with RCM-R® provides an optimized approach to a well-established and highly successful method used for determining failure management policies for physical assets. It makes the original method that was developed to enhance flight safety far more useful in a broad range of industries where asset criticality ranges from high to low. RCM-R® is focused on the science of failures and what must be done to enable long-term sustainably reliable operations. If used correctly, RCM-R® is the first step in delivering fewer breakdowns, more productive capacity, lower costs, safer operations and improved enviro...
