<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>This book is written for manufacturing industries in serving as a guide in implementing Reliability-Centered Maintenance to their equipment and assets successfully.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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: </p><p>- 27 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on RCM</p><p>- 22 Tips on Implementing RCM- 15 Don'ts About RCM</p><p>- Why the RCM Preparatory Stage is Important</p><p>- Can RCM Address All Equipment Losses?</p><p>- Actual Case Study on RCM</p><p>- How to Integrate RCM into the TPM Process</p><p>- Bonus: RCM Forms I used in Excell Format</p><p>- The RCM and TPM Crossroads-</p><p>- Strenghtening the SAE JA1011 Criteria</p><p>- Addressing MRO Spare Parts after Implementing RCM</p><p>- How to Determine the Correct Interval for PM, PdM, FFT, and Switching Standby Components</p><p>- MRO Decision Diagram on Whether to Stock or Not to Stock</p><p>- Difference Between a Failure Mode and a Root Cause</p><p>- Secondary Tasks for Doing On-Condition Tasks</p><p>- Details in Writing the RCM Decision Worksheet Explained</p><p>- Details in Writing the RCM Information Worksheet Explained</p><p>- Details in performing Horizontal Replication for Similar Equipment with the Same Operating Context</p><p>- Details in Conducting the RCM Audit</p><p>- And more . . .</p><p>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><ul><li>By reading all previous books/publications - I've found that Rolly's comprehensive knowledge and experience is translated in easy to read, understand and easy to apply in the real world. Highly recommended material for everyone who wants to advance or starts to discover the Maintenance and Reliability world or proactively solve many issues that makes your day a nightmare! M&R 101 material! <em>From Kristijan Apostolski CRL-BB, CMM, LSSBB, CCMP, MBA</em></li><li>I appreciate the various types of failure modes, maintenance strategies used, and how RCM compares with other methods. I have also seen why RCM is simple to understand and straightforward. It had also helped me to see the difference between RCM and RRM. The benefits of RCM are clear to all. <em>From Oyoyo David, SPDC / Mechanical Supervisor, Nigeria</em></li><li>The RCM training was conducted so that the participants can confidently carry out the RCM study on critical equipment. I think the study will help the company solve most of their maintenance problems. The facilitator training style shows he has in-depth knowledge of RCM as a maintenance strategy. <em>From Casmir U. Chierelle, QSHE Coordinator / Hermann and Cross, Nigeria</em></li><li>Transfer of RCM concept was flowing in a logically coherent manner. The course was interactive, and all the participants were carried along during the training. With his wealth of experience, the trainer ensured that he provided adequate training materials to transfer the participants' RCM knowledge. <em>From Chukwuma C. Lawrence, Saipem / Information and Materials. Coordinator, Nigeria</em></li><li>RCM is a different tool and technique in maintenance that can be adapted in different industries. This approach can reduce and define the job in maintenance to eliminate failures or reduce the frequency of equipment failures. <em>From John John Azarcon, Maintenance Supervisor, Philippines</em></li><li>I came to know about the limitations of Preventive Maintenance, which we have been following religiously over the years. The difference between the classifications of maintenance strategies was clearly understood during the program. <em>From Manne Sankara Rao, Senior Manager. Reliance Industries Ltd., India</em></li><li>Conducted in a very enthusiastic, informative, and well-organized fashion. Information related to RCM was passed on to make it very easy to understand. Training included examples, case studies, and prompt review from faculty to participants. RCM program suggests a lot of improvement can be done in our maintenance activities. The material provided by the faculty was very informative. <em>From Rajesh Sahi, Sub-sea O&M, India</em></li><li>Learned and understand in-depth about RCM. Also, understand how RCM is useful for the industry rather than Preventive and Predictive Maintenance and other maintenance tools. I can say one thing that RCM must be implemented in our industry. <em>From Akhilesh Kumar Sharma, DY Manager, Mechanical, India</em></li></ul><br>
