A Case Study of the Application of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) in the Acquisition of the Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV) by Luis Garza Pdf

This thesis examined the application of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) in the acquisition of the Marine Corps' Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV) . RCM is referred to throughout various service and DoD wide references, but in the absence of specific guidance on how to apply RCM to an acquisition, the AAAV program provided a unique opportunity to analyze key decisions and results. The research included an examination of the RCM process to include RCM training provided on site at the AAAV program, a review of pertinent program documents, interviews with program representatives, and an analysis of the critical decision to utilize the RCM process. The key findings of the research effort concluded that when RCM is applied to an acquisition with program commitment, the program will gain a greater, more focused understanding of the system and subsystems, than with the traditional Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) . AAAV also demonstrated that RCM benefits were broad and not limited to just maintenance analysis and that these benefits could be gained at any stage of the acquisition. This thesis concludes by recommending that the acquisition community recognize the benefits and institutionalize RCM into the acquisition process.

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) by Neil Bloom Pdf

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 by Jesus R. Sifonte,James V. Reyes-Picknell Pdf

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 environmental performance. Maintenance has a huge impact on most businesses whether its presence is felt or not. RCM-R® ensures that the right work is done to guarantee there are as few nasty surprises as possible that can harm the business in any way. RCM-R® was developed to leverage on RCM’s original success at delivering that effectiveness while addressing the concerns of the industrial market. RCM-R® addresses the RCM method and shortfalls in its application -- It modifies the method to consider asset and even failure mode criticality so that rigor is applied only where it is truly needed. It removes (within reason) the sources of concern about RCM being overly rigorous and too labor intensive without compromising on its ability to deliver a tailored failure management program for physical assets sensitive to their operational context and application. RCM-R® also provides its practitioners with standard based guidance for determining meaningful failure modes and causes facilitating their analysis for optimum outcome. Includes extensive review of the well proven RCM method and what is needed to make it successful in the industrial environment Links important elements of the RCM method with relevant International Standards for risk management and failure management Enhances RCM with increased emphasis on statistical analysis, bringing it squarely into the realm of Evidence Based Asset Management Includes extensive, experience based advice on implementing and sustaining RCM based failure management programs

RCM--Gateway to World Class Maintenance by Anthony M. Smith,Glenn R. Hinchcliffe Pdf

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, this new edition possesses an appendix devoted to discussing an economic model that has been used successfully to decide the most cost effective use of maintenance. Top Level managers, engineers, and especially technicians who rely on PM programs in their plant operations can't afford to miss this inclusive guide to Reliability-Centered Maintenance. Includes detailed instructions for implementing and sustaining an RCM program for extremely cost effective manufacturing Presents seven real-world cross-industry RCM sucess case studies that have profited from this plan Provides essential information on how RCM focuses your maintenance organization to become a recognized "center for profit" Offers over 35 accumulated years of the authors' experiences in Lessons Learned for the proper use of RCM (and pitfalls to avoid)

Reliability-Centered Maintenance: Management and Engineering Methods by R.T. Anderson,L. Neri Pdf

In this book the authors provide a fresh look at basic reliability and maintainability engineering techniques and management tools for ap plication to the system maintenance planning and implementation process. The essential life-cycle reliability centered maintenance (ReM) activities are focused on maintenance planning and the prevention of failure. The premise is that more efficient, and therefore effective, life-cycle main tenance programs can be established using a well disciplined decision logic analysis process that addresses individual part failure modes, their consequences, and the actual preventive maintenance tasks. This premise and the techniques and tools described emphasize preventive, not corrective, maintenance. The authors also describe the techniques and tools fundamental to maintenance engineering. They provide an understanding of the inter relationships of the elements of a complete ReM program (which are applicable to any complex system or component and are not limited only to the aircraft industry). They describe special methodologies for improving the maintenance process. These include an on-condition maintenance (OeM) methodology to identify defects and potential deterioration which can determine what is needed as a maintenance action in order to prevent failure during use.

Advancing Reliability and Maintenance, 3rd Edition by Jack R. Nicholas Pdf

This text incorporates major elements of the authors' earlier work, entitled Understanding Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), but adds an in depth discussion of a much tested method of managing change in the basis for and practices of maintenance of any organization. One of the authors has experience dating back to 1971 in "hands on" implementation of maintenance practices that are "reliability-centered."He learned and applied the techniques used by aircraft manufacturers and air transport companies to the equally demanding field of nuclear powered submarines. By the time the first book entitled Reliability-Centered Maintenance was published by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1977, he already had six years experience actually implementing an RCM based program at the "deck plate" level.The other author was a "customer." Organizations he commanded were required to change and support this new philosophy of maintenance. He has since become an author, teacher and mentor known internationally for excellence in the RCM field. Each now has over 10 years experience supporting commercial clients implementing their RCM based programs. Together the co-authors have developed the "80/20" approach to attacking the problems of equipment reliability. This text provides insight into pitfalls encountered by organizations initiating what they hope will be an RCM-based program. The lessons they have learned applying RCM are applicable to any major new initiative introduced to any type of organization. The authors use experience gained in manufacturing, utility, and government activities with union and non-union work forces. An entire chapter is devoted to instructions on how to conduct "Maintenance Process Analysis," as a vehicle for initiating (culture) change in maintenance. Appendices provide examples of a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis table, a Maintenance Standard and a Maintenance Strategy document typical of those used in and resulting from the "80/20 RCM" approach.Also includes a download link of the matching Slide presentation and full copy of Reliabilityweb.com's Reliability Centered Maintenance Project Manager's Guide.

Reliability Centered Maintenance by James Gehris Pdf

John Moubray's 1997 book Reliability Centered Maintenance outlined a comprehensive collection of the core principles and tenets of reliability centered maintenance-RCM. Originally developed in the 1970s, RCM has since been adopted by major industries, including the United States military and the aviation industry. Nevertheless, while Moubray's RCM2 provides an excellent academic description of topics associated with RCM, there are a number of important questions and topics that have been left unaddressed in print. In Reliability Centered Maintenance-Unraveling the Mysteries, author James Gehris offers a diligent and comprehensive expansion and companion that provides questions beyond the traditional RCM questions and definitions. With over thirty years of experience as a US Marine Corps maintenance officer using RCM concepts and approaches, Gehris provides a roadmap to help ensure that any RCM analyses are properly conducted and comply with the SAE JA1011 standard for RCM.
