The RCM Blitztm Method
Fast - Applicable - Effective
RCM Blitztm Facilitator Training - Course Length - Five Days
In my first two years of instructing and facilitating Traditional RCM the number one complaint I received from my clients was that the process had great value but was much too slow. The typical cycle for an analysis at that time was three to four months to complete the analysis and another three to six months to implement the tasks. In a time where companies need change and reliability to happen at an accelerated rate the traditional process fell short of these goals. The challenge at hand was to develop a RCM process that delivered a thorough analysis in much shorter cycle. It was from this challenge the RCM Blitztm Method was created. A process that completes the Traditional RCM analysis cycle in seven days or less and delivers actionable tasks in the first day of analysis!
The RCM Blitztm Method
The dramatic RCM analysis cycle reduction is accomplished by combining advanced facilitation techniques with the Traditional RCM thought process. The advancement in facilitation came from the idea of Co-facilitation and the use of a real time RCM Database. These advancements made it possible to facilitate the RCM analysis and enter the information into the database at the same time. While one person facilitates the other captures the information. This provides the RCM team and their company with more accurate information and a complete RCM report with prioritized and assigned action items at the end of the analysis cycle. This change in the facilitation technique allowed us to make improvements to the Traditional RCM process that made our Blitz Method even more thorough than the traditional process. Our process now includes three major improvements that make it not only the fastest process available, it now the most thorough! First, we changed the standard FMEA portion of the RCM process to a FMECA. This change helps the RCM team to focus on failure modes that have a higher probability of occurring, and greater consequences to your business should they occur.
The second improvement was the addition of consequence reduction tasks. The decision process in Traditional RCM often leads to "No Scheduled maintenance" or "Run to Failure" for failure modes that can’t be predicted, prevented or eliminated. Coming from a manufacturing and maintenance background, we knew this strategy was not only real, but also frightening. Unscheduled downtime costs add up quickly. The best way to reduce this cost is to reduce the downtime cycle by having a consequence reduction strategy in place. Make sure you have the right procedures, spare parts and resources in place to repair the failure in the shortest time possible. Third was the addition of the spare parts decision process. No maintenance strategy is complete without the proper spare parts in place. The Blitz process includes a complete report on spares necessary to make your process reliable.
The finished product is the RCM Blitztm Method. The fastest and most complete RCM Method available!
