Research findings

"I must say how much I have enjoyed your book "RDAM formerly RCM". I found it interesting and informative. It is compact and has clarity, content, completeness, utility, and understandable format. You must have refined your writing style continuously." (Allan Barry, Canada, 20 June 2006)

"Oh, before I forget, your books are lifesavers!!! I love them. What really helped me the most is the real world examples. I would have been so lost without them, you'll see when you get my project." (Todd Wilen, ND USA)

Phillip Clarke, Director of the Asset Partnership, who hold a Licence to John Moubray’s RCMII, commented during my Reliability Centred Maintenance course in Sydney, Australia, on 18 June 2002 that ‘he didn’t like me having this competitive advantage’

Comments from Mr. Quinton Smith, RCM2 Facilitator Catalyst Paper Canada, when asked to compare my RDAM method to RCM2, wrote in June 2007:

  • I like having the diagram and questions available on the documentation sheet.
  • I can see an advantage on how the format of RDAM can integrate well with an AOO analysis (this refers to including operator maintenance in the RDAM analysis sheets).
  • Avoiding the Hidden / Evident question is better for ‘beginners’ by using the question “Does the functional failure affect a protective or standby device? (Y or N)” as long as the definition of a protective device is very clear.


Key Benefits and Features of Attending This Event

  • Understand RDAM results in a best practice maintenance plan, the benefits it delivers and how it links to Asset Management
  • Learn to select a process or assets for detailed analysis
  • Analyze correctly and comprehensively define process or asset functions and performance standards
  • Identify faults, failures, root causes, means of detecting the fault or failure, effects and criticality (severity * likelihood * detectability)
  • Discuss the failure type that determines the choice of maintenance task
  • Gain evolved maintenance techniques and how to select maintenance tasks
  • Practice to use the reliability driven asset management analysis sheets
  • Allocate as many tasks as possible to trained operators, making it possible to let your maintainers do more meaningful maintenance work
  • Appreciate collects function, failure, causes, effects, risk to result in tasks, frequencies, duration and needed resources, which is all the information your planners need
  • Improve dramatically the value of the risk analysis to decision making and what other improvements are possible
  • Appreciate that you need to complement the RDAM-based tasks with one-off tasks based on asset inspection or related to statutory requirements
  • Understand the link between the RDAM analysis and need for employees, spares, tools and equipment, workshops and optimized life cycle costs and budgets
  • Implement reliability driven asset management and the best timing of implementation

The course provides syndicate exercises to give additional experience in applying the technique.

 

Who Should Attend

This course is targeted at the O&G, chemical, petrochemical, energy, telecommunication, and manufacturing industry. The profile of participants includes:

Maintenance | Reliability | Asset Management professionals or practitioners | Asset Owners | Managers | Finance Managers | those who contribute in their roles of first-line (operators and maintainers) and second-line (engineering, designers, logistics, admin, workshops, etc.) | Asset managers to the development of an optimized asset maintenance plan and are eager to achieve a sustainable improvement in company profit.

Why you should attend

Maintenance and reliability professionals and practitioners understand the importance of maintenance but often face a loosing battle over the budget with the finance manager. This course is ideal for finance (and other) managers to develop a proper appreciation of the importance of maintenance being to perform the essential tasks to avoid unacceptable consequences of faults and failures, thereby optimising asset output (revenue) and minimising cost (maximises profit) and risk. Without the budget to perform these essential tasks, there will be more failures, more damage, more lost production and the budget will blow out.
