Description: There are cases where breakdowns and failures are not the primary cause of equipment downtime, especially in manufacturing industries. Although RCM is a popular strategy, still many manufacturing industries are not implementing this process and continue to remain stuck in their PM tasks. The main reason why I wrote this book is that doing RCM in a manufacturing plant is a bit different from doing RCM in oil and gas, power plants, and other similar plants because their equipment losses are different, although the process on how RCM is done will be the same. If you worked in a semi-conductor plant, breakdowns and failures are not the main issues, but minor-stoppages, changeover, or quality problems are. You must know the boundary between what RCM can address and what it cannot. RCM will address failures and breakdowns by proposing tasks; it is not designed to address every possible equipment loss. What I am saying is that failures are just a subset of the entire equipment losses. Suppose you have chronic quality problems caused by the equipment; RCM can address some of them, but not all, since Quality problems and defects are much broader than breakdown and failures. I have a detailed explanation of what particular losses RCM can and cannot address in Chapter 3.3.2 of this book. This book is written to help industries implementing RCM on their machines, equipment, and assets. Some of the highlights of this book includes: - 27 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on RCM - 22 Tips on Implementing RCM- 15 Don'ts About RCM - Why the RCM Preparatory Stage is Important - Can RCM Address All Equipment Losses? - Actual Case Study on RCM - How to Integrate RCM into the TPM Process - Bonus: RCM Forms I used in Excell Format - The RCM and TPM Crossroads- - Strenghtening the SAE JA1011 Criteria - Addressing MRO Spare Parts after Implementing RCM - How to Determine the Correct Interval for PM, PdM, FFT, and Switching Standby Components - MRO Decision Diagram on Whether to Stock or Not to Stock - Difference Between a Failure Mode and a Root Cause - Secondary Tasks for Doing On-Condition Tasks - Details in Writing the RCM Decision Worksheet Explained - Details in Writing the RCM Information Worksheet Explained - Details in performing Horizontal Replication for Similar Equipment with the Same Operating Context - Details in Conducting the RCM Audit - And more . . . In this book, I have explained two definitions of RCM, which is looking on the equipment side and the human side of doing it. Reliability-Centered maintenance is a process used to determine any physical asset's maintenance tasks, decisions, and requirements in its current or present operating context. It is also a process used to determine what must be done to ensure that any physical assets continue to do whatever their users want them to do in their present operating context. On the human and softer definition, RCM is a way or process of capturing and extracting the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of the most experienced people in the plant and transforming it into a living document and their legacy. In most cases, when these good old folks go away and retire for good, they bring everything they know to their grave, and the plant hires fresh employees with little or no experience and starts everything from the very beginning. We just want to put a stop to this never-ending cycle.I have also explained in this book how to implement RCM more successfully by restoring the equipment first. If the plant is implementing Total Productive Maintenance, the integration of these two methodologies is explained in detail in this book. Rolly is a seasoned international maintenance and reliability consultant with over 30 years of solid experience in the field. He has been invited to different countries and has conducted reliability and maintenance training in United Arab Emirates, Qatar, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand, Nigeria, Bangladesh, South Africa, China, and Botswana. His maintenance training portfolio includes maintenance and reliability courses on TPM, Lubrication, Tribology, Condition-Based Maintenance, RCM, RCFA, TPM Planned Maintenance, Autonomous Maintenance 7 Steps, World Class Maintenance Management, The 12 Disciplines, Oil Contamination Control, Maintenance Indices, and KPI's, Maintenance and Reliability Management Strategies and much more. Rolly previously worked with Amkor Technology Philippines as a TPM Senior Engineer, an industry engaged in manufacturing Integrated Circuit products and spearheaded their Planned Maintenance organization, composed of maintenance managers and engineers. He was also responsible for dramatically reducing unplanned breakdowns in their TPM Journey and RCM implementation on their Facilities AHU units and substation equipment. Rolly is currently working as an independent reliability and maintenance consultant. Rolly is a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology in the Philippines, batch 1985, and passed the licensure board examination the following year in 1986. With 30 years of solid experience, he had worked in various industries from shipping, woodworking, foundry, cast-iron machining, assembly lines, semiconductor manufacturing, and the mining industry. Here, he gained hands-on experience and understanding of TPM and RCM, respectively, a strategy from both the west and the east. His last corporate employment was in 2002, where he worked as a technical training specialist at Lepanto Consolidated Mining Industry. In 2005, Rolly retired early from the industry and decided to establish his own consulting business, RSA Reliability and Maintenance Consultancy Firm, where he dedicates his time and passion for working as an independent reliability and maintenance consultant. He provides in-house training, consultation, and facilitation to different maintenance and reliability best practices.
