Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) & Planned Maintenance Optimisation (PMO) for Team Members
Bluenergy offers this training course as an introduction to Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) and Planned 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.
"Introduction • Outline the contents of the training package
