Begin your journey towards effective reliability and maintenance.

We offer this training course as an introduction to Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Preventive Maintenance Optimisation (PMO) techniques for personnel who are expected to contribute to equipment maintenance strategy development activities. Participants will gain an understanding of:

  • The key concepts and principles underlying RCM and PMO
  • The skills required to participate in structured equipment strategy development workshops using both RCM and PMO processes

Effective application of these techniques will generate a more effective Preventive Maintenance (PM) program that can result in improvements to:

  • Overall equipment effectiveness,
  • Equipment availability,
  • Equipment reliability,
  • Cost performance,
  • Labour productivity, and
  • Safety and environmental performance.

Key outcomes

By the end of this course, you will (at a minimum) be able to:

  • Describe the benefits that can be gained through an effective preventive maintenance program.
  • Describe the principles of both Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Preventive Maintenance Optimisation (PMO).
  • Identify the steps involved in developing an equipment strategy.
  • Contribute to each step, particularly:
    • Applying RCM or PMO techniques as appropriate to the equipment,
    • Identifying equipment functions and failure modes,
    • Selecting recommended maintenance tasks, and
    • Identifying additional improvement tasks.
