Book excerpt: Buy the paperback, get Kindle eBook FREE using MATCHBOOK. go to www.usgovpub.com to learn how NASA's book on Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is the Gold Standard as far as I am concerned. I have worked in facility design, construction and maintenance for over 40 years and this is the resource I turn to on the subject. Rather than following a haphazard, hit-and-miss approach to facility maintenance, NASA takes a common-sense approach that is methodical and not overblown. This is the way to go if you are concerned about budget AND reliability /availability. Because - let's face it - everything has a cost and facilities budgets can only go so far. There is always a list of projects on backlog waiting for funding. This book shows how to prioritize those projects and make the best use of limited resources. Variations of RCM are employed by thousands of public and private organizations world-wide to address a host of reliability issues in order to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) while controlling the Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) inherent with Asset Management and Facility Stewardship.

Download or read book Reliability Centered Maintenance Reengineered written by Jesus R. Sifonte and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Download or read book The Maintenance Scorecard written by Daryl Mather and published by Industrial Press Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Performance measurement in maintenance is a key ingredient when an organization is seeking excellence in their maintenance practices. Unquestionably a maintenance scorecard (MSC) consistent with corporate goals will be invaluable. In this context I was pleased to see addresses in the very first Chapter not only comments on key ingredients of a MSC but also implementation issues associated with the use of a MSC. There is so little written on the balanced scorecard (BSC) concept being applied to the maintenance function, and as the first book focusing on the BSC in the context of maintenance, termed by Mather the MSC, it will be a welcome addition to the arsenal of literature available to ensure superior maintenance performance in an organizations." Andrew K S Jardine, PhD, C.Eng., P.Eng, Professor, Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto "The Maintenance Scorecard is an important work in the field of maintenance management. It is important because it weaves together several disparate threads into an insightful and useful whole. Implementation of the ideas presented in The Maintenance Scorecard could focus attention of both top management and maintenance leadership to meaningful improvements." Joel Levitt, President Springfield Resources "It is so refreshing to hear someone whom truly knows what he is talking about rather than the theory merchants that tend to saturate our discipline." Greg Pantaleoni, Director, Effective Systems Solutions Pty. Ltd. This is the first book to seriously tackle the subject of bringing Asset Management into line with other areas of corporate activity. Through a unique adaptation of the balanced scorecard approach to asset management, it provides a structured approach for both the development of strategy and its implementation. Additionally, readers will find a catalogue of indicators along with their uses and weaknesses, a definitive guide to measuring the success of RCM programs, and a logical format that leads them from start to finish with information and hints on each phase of the maintenance scorecard approach. If you or your company need to manage physical assets, you need this book Provides the RCM Scorecard, which is unique to this book and has not been done previously to this level of detail. Includes information and hints on each phase of the maintenance scorecard approach. Focuses at length on the creation of strategy for asset management and details the differences between various industry types, sectors and markets. Offers an introduction to the methodology of Problem Elimination Logic, and its application and use in the industry. Contains a brief overview of the Technical Change Management System a method for increasing the effectiveness of capital spending in maintenance. Provides a guide to some of the true uses and limitations of benchmarking as a strategic tool for improvement. Uses many illustrations throughout to explain and underline the concepts being presented.
