3 – 6 June 2014
Johannesburg, South Africa
Overview
RCM is a systematic way of looking at equipment, its functions, its failure modes, effects and the
consequences of failure. The purpose is to select smart maintenance tactics to minimise the
consequences of failure and to build an effective maintenance program. To be really effective, RCM
needs to go beyond these basics. This program will focus on how to make RCM (Reliability Centred
Maintenance) an effective and living tool, and add great value to an organisation’s maintenance and
operations functions to achieve operational excellence.
Turning ‘Theory’ into ‘Practice’
Heavily based on practical workshops and live experience of many case studies, this unique program
will guide you through the latest maintenance management tools and techniques, advanced
maintenance practices and how you can build value in maintenance through reliability. You will
develop a personal development plan as a take-away. This is specifically designed to prompt you to
apply best practice and techniques at your workplace. Printed handouts, electronic copies of the
presentations and RCM worksheets for the practical sessions will be provided.
