a- RCM definition:
According to John Moubray, a Reliability Centred Maintenance is a process
used to determine the maintenance requirements of any physical asset in
its operating context (1). This means that RCM is a process used to
identify the most applicable and effective maintenance action(s) to ensure
the performance of a system or component
To replace the raw materials with the new ones to prevent failures
caused by these type of materials in the future
More training of the workers to know how to deal with these kinds of
materials
The problem of the spares which are not made any more as the OEM
(Original, Equipment, Manufacturers) are no longer in the business will
may not be solved by RCA, it may suggest to change the design or
compressors, but this requires an economic analysis whether we change
the design or it is worth to continue with the old ones.
There are still some problems that RCM and RCA can not solve, thus we
have to introduce another system which addresses these problems. I want
to introduce TPM which is a structure for managing and continually
improving uptime on production equipment. But the introduction of TPM
should be done step by step to avoid the overloading and demotivation of
staff.
3. Education & corporate development
2. Leadership skills
The leader must have these important qualities: - integrity and be
trustworthy. - fair in dealings and must not create a sense of insecurity
among team members through misinformation - recognise the strengths
and weaknesses of team members and allocate work accordingly - Stress
on the importance of team work must be emphasised through words and
action. (12)
Leader’s abilities:
Ability to see opportunities, Adaptability, Analysis, Communication,
Decision-making, Dependability, Enthusiasm, Imagination, Integrity,
Open-mindedness, Positive thinking
Reliability, Sincerity, Single-mindedness, Understanding, Willingness…
(13)
a. Technical understanding
Besides the engineering skills (understanding machines, dealing with
software, calculations …) for better communications, you need to
understand:
Functions and failure concepts
Criticality and systems performance
Reliability and risk concepts
Maintenance and resource management
Life cycle analysis and modelling
Information systems/ modelling
Information systems usage/integration (16)
b. The difference between these requirements and traditional
engineering or management education programme
4. Cost/risk/performance optimisation
Many people use a domestic heating boiler, which needs care to keep it as
longer as possible. But the question is, do these people know how to
optimise the maintenance strategy of this material? The main part in a
domestic heating boiler is a burner which needs cleaning as it becomes
dirty. So in this case we have to consider the cost of cleaning and the loss
of efficiency (extra fuel cost for example as a sign of performance loss).
As an example of how to optimise the maintenance (cleaning) strategy of
this burner, we assume that the deterioration is linear and this material
loses 10% of performance after 5000 hours of operation which costs
DA10/hour extra fuel and the total cost of cleaning is DA2000.
Optimum
NB: the values of risk are based on the assumption (Y = aX² + b).
Y: Cost, X: Time (a and b are constants)
