Asset Strategy Development with FMEA, PMO and RCM

This course is a revision of the previously titled PMO Optimization and Using FMEA and RCM to Reduce Equipment Failure courses. Considerable changes were made to help ensure the very latest innovations and knowledge were reflected in this revision.

Most of us do not have world-class Asset Maintenance Strategies or Equipment Maintenance Plans and are not comfortable with our preventative maintenance strategies because they are not efficient or effective. To make things worse, developing effective Asset Maintenance Strategies and effective PM plans is a tough task with the scarcity of the time and resources to complete this task.

In this workshop attendees will look at all the steps required to develop more effective and efficient asset strategies. We will start with the fundamental steps required to begin the development and then walk all the way through the creation of failure mode and failure mechanism-based equipment maintenance plans using both Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Failure Modes Effects Analysis (FMEA). Finally finishing with best practice job task development. Attendees can expect to leave with a new understanding of both the process as well as the deliverables required to reduce maintenance cost and increase reliability through refined asset strategies.

• Maintenance Management: To build the reliability plan to reduce potential failure risk
• Design Engineers: To proactively identify potential failures in product designs.
• Quality Managers: To oversee the implementation of FMEA processes and ensure quality standards are met.
• Manufacturing Engineers: To analyze potential failures within manufacturing processes
• Quality Engineers: To conduct FMEA analysis and interpret results
• Project Managers: To incorporate FMEA into project planning and risk mitigation strategies
• Safety Engineers: To identify potential safety hazards and implement preventive measures
• Reliability Engineers: To evaluate the reliability of a product or process by analyzing potential failure modes
