RCM Essentials 1 - RCM According to the SAE JA1011 Standard and RCM-R® Enhancements

Course Description

Reliability Centred Maintenance Essentials™ (RCME1) serves as a complete introduction to RCM. Instructor, Jesus Sifonte defines RCM & its benefits, how organizations can add value with RCM, when & where organizations should implement RCM on their critical assets, and where it shouldn’t be used to save resources. As the course moves forward, Jesus provides a step-by-step application of the RCM process with practical examples.

Course Goals

• Knowing the Scope and Bene­ts of RCM as per SAE Standard JA1011
• Understanding the Requirements of a Genuine RCM Process
• Distinguishing the attributes of the RCM-R® Enhanced Process
• Learning the Steps and Requirements for the Effective Implementation of RCM-R® in your Organization

Reliability Centered Maintenance Essentials (RCME1) - Course Modules

Within the RCME1 body of knowledge there are six modules essential to creating an understanding of all that is possible.

1. History and Relevance of RCM

   Module Type: video | Duration: 35 minutes | Module ID: RCME1-01

   ---

   The introductory module of RCME1 details the history of RCM, its developments over the years, and its relevance and benefits in today’s industry. AME Instructor, Jesus also covers the RCM Standard SAE JA1011 and the 7 Questions of the RCM process.

2. Functions and Functional Failures

   Module Type: video | Duration: 48 minutes | Module ID: RCME1-02

   ---

   Functions and Functional Failures teaches students how to answer question Q1 & Q2 of the RCM process. Our instructor, Jesus covers operating context, performance levels, functions, primary functions, secondary functions, and hidden functions as they pertain to Q1. As for Q2, Jesus details the definition of a functional failure, what functional failures look like compared to potential failures, as well as exploring partial failures and total failures.

3. Failure Modes

   Module Type: video | Duration: 25 minutes | Module ID: RCME1-03

   ---

   In this module of RCME1, our instructor looks at Q3 of the RCM process which looks closely at failure modes and their causes, the definition of differing failure modes as per SAE JA1011/12, as well as failure mode classification & root cause classification.

4. Failure Effects and Consequences

   Module Type: video | Duration: 36 minutes | Module ID: RCME1-04

   ---

   Module 4 of RCME1 looks at Q4 & Q5 of the RCM process which looks at failure effects and failure consequences. For Q4, Jesus details a guide to failure effects using the Failure Effects Matrix and risk management principles. For Q5, Jesus looks at categories of failure consequences, and the consequence selection algorithm.

5. Proactive Tasks and Default Actions

   Module Type: video | Duration: 26 minutes | Module ID: RCME1-05

   ---

   Module 5 of RCME1 focusses heavily on decision making within a maintenance and reliability program. For Q6, our instructor focusses on the importance of performing proactive condition monitoring tasks, that are technically feasible and worth doing. For Q7, Jesus looks at default actions in the RCM process. These include potential failure detection tasks, running equipment to failure, non-recurring actions, and design change objectives.

6. Task Selection and RCM Implementation

   Module Type: video | Duration: 30 minutes | Module ID: RCME1-06

   ---

   After the prior 5 modules, students are now ready to define the failure consequence management policies to resolve failure modes and failure causes. Our instructor details the SAE JA1011/12 Decision Diagram, and the process of developing meaningful maintenance tasks. Jesus also details the most effective way to sustainably implement RCM into facilities which focusses on the teams and roles within necessary for success. They include the Analysis Team, the Facilitator and the Analysis Team. Finally, Module 6 covers how to achieve planned outcomes & monitor the results of the RCM efforts.
