Maintenance, RCM and Asset Management Videos

---

We want to help engineers and maintenance professionals succeed by developing your skills, improving technical knowledge and understanding. 

Each time in just 2 minutes. 

 What is maintenance and what are the benefits? 

It can be planned or unplanned as discussed in this short video. 

 A great strategy for wear or age related failures.  

 A maintenance strategy that attempts to predict when a failure will occur. 

 Do you know how often you should do inspections or overhauls?  

Tips on the best way to choose planned maintenance for your equipment. 

 Have you ever wondered what RCA is, and what is involved?   

A systematic process that helps us choose the best maintenance technique. 

Take a look at the 7 key questions of the RCM process.

The first question of RCM asks to define the function.  But how?

Question 2: Define the ways the system/asset can fail to function 

Question 3: Failure modes can be confusing. What does the term mean?

 Question 4: A story about what happens if a failure occurs.

Question 5: Consequences can be safety, environment, or economic.

 Question 6: What should be done to reduce the risk of failure proactively?

Question 7:  If a proactive task can't be found or justified, now what?

There are 2 types of failures: Evident failures and Hidden Failures 

 A failure that has already happened. How do we manage it?

1 failure is bad enough, but multiple failures are worse! 

The starting point for RCM analysis. The operating context sets the scene and background for Reliability Centered Maintenance. 

The goal is to maximise equipment uptime while minimising costs.

Learn more about the 2 types of RCM processes in this first of the 2 part episode. 

The 2nd type of RCM, Streamlined RCM, applies Reliability Centered Maintenance principles without analysing every failure mode. 

The long-term savings and optimised operations make RCM a strategic advantage.  

Savings of 30 to 50 percent in annual maintenance budgets are often achieved with RCM programs according to a 2008 NASA guide.  

Understanding the P-F Interval: What It Is and Why It Matters.  Learn what the P-F interval represents, from potential failure to functional failure.

In this 2nd video on the P-F interval, we'll dive into the various condition monitoring techniques to detect potential failures.

This 3rd video on the P-F interval explores how organisations can achieve better reliability using the P-F interval to develop effective maintenance strategies as part of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). 

Maintenance in theory is all well and good but it is in real life where it counts.  In today's short video, learn about the typical 5 steps an organisation might take to improve maintenance. 

In this short video, we'll examine the relationship between the P-F interval and asset life cycle management to improve maintenance and reliability processes as part of our RCM explained series.  

Systems boundaries are defined at the start of an RCM study, or any improvement study, and is a crucial step for effective management and analysis. 

Asset management is a process to optimise assets throughout their lifecycle and aims to maximise the value of your assets.

The ISO 55000 series of asset management consists of three main standards: 1. ISO 55000: This standard provides an overview of asset management 2. ISO 55001: This standard outlines the requirements 3. ISO 55002: This standard offers guidance and practical examples
