El proceso LRCM The purpose of LRCM is to endow the maintenance department with the ability to perform reliability analysis. Reliability analysis requires accurate data samples of failures and suspensions in the EAM. On a daily basis technicians when closing a work order select the correct failure modes and their ending event types. Should the technician observe a divergence between the RCM Leer más [...]

Introducción a la Metodología LRCM Los objetivos del LRCM Living RCM was created to address two vital yet unresolved issues not addressed by initial RCM or the EAM. First, observational data entered on the work order is, generally speaking, of insufficient quality for Reliability Analysis (RA) and decision modeling. Efficient maintenance management requires model based decision making. Otherwise maintenance personnel would have to decide everything from first principles, Leer más [...]

RCM preguntas 6 y 7: La estrategia inicia de gestión de fallas The answers to questions 6 and 7 dictate the failure management policy (tasks, schedules, one-off actions, or run to failure). The  work packaging and scheduling phases (that take place subsequent to the RCM audit)  will create the schedules (task lists) and their timing in a rational way to fit organizational constraints and manpower availability. 5 Estrategias A RCM analysis generates a set of tasks that implement one or more Leer más [...]

While failure analysis may have some small intrinsic interest of its own, the reason for our concern with failure is its consequences. These may range from the modest cost of replacing a failed component to the possible destruction of a piece of equipment, devastating harm to the environment, or the loss of lives. Thus all Reliability Centered maintenance, including the need for redesign is indicated, not primarily by the frequency of a particular failure, but by the nature of its consequences. Leer más [...]

RCM Pregunta 4 Efectos de Falla The Effects of each Failure Mode should describe what would likely happen as well as what could happen if nothing were being done to prevent it. The Effects description provides the information needed to determine the consequences and subsequently, the choice of a mitigating action. A common error avoidable by properly describing the Effects A common error avoidable by properly describing the Effects As an example in a rail passenger car RCM analysis the Effects Leer más [...]

RCM Pregunta 3 - Modos de Falla Now we arrive at the focal point of RCM analysis, Failure Modes. The failure mode is the lowest common denominator or "leaf"  in the RCM tree. The degree to which your organization manages each reasonably likely failure mode and its consequences will determine its maintenance performance. There is a specific way to describe and  record failure modes. Failure modes have been described as the "currency" of maintenance. Just as accountants monitor and count the Leer más [...]
