Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) is a preventive maintenance improvement methodology that focuses on identifying appropriate plant maintenance tasks that will effectively manage the risks you face of equipment failure.
PEME uses the structured decision-making framework provided by RCM to create a cost-effective and safe engineering asset management strategy to address dominant causes of equipment failure.
The result is a planned maintenance program that focuses economic resources on those engineering assets that would cause the most disruption to your operations if they were to fail. RCM emphasizes the use of Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) techniques alongside traditional preventive maintenance measures.
RCM can yield results very quickly. If correctly focused and applied, RCM studies can provide a return-on-investment in a matter of months.
We have two RCM approaches, as follows:
- Firstline RCM: A PEME developed abridged-RCM process which helps our engineers to make timely decisions about asset criticality, preventive maintenance tasks and task intervals. We also provide guidance on how to write maintenance task descriptions that are unambiguous and quantitative.
- Full RCM: A structured maintenance strategy review process that can be applied to new or existing assets and that can be applied across a whole plant or on selected engineering assets.
PEME provides in-house RCM training for both our plant maintenance engineers and our plant maintenance partners personnel.
