| rcm ii john moubray: Reliability Centered Maintenance James Gehris, 2015-12-02 John Moubray's 1997 book Reliability Centered Maintenance outlined a comprehensive collection of the core principles and tenets of reliability centered maintenance-RCM. Originally developed in the 1970s, RCM has since been adopted by major industries, including the United States military and the aviation industry. Nevertheless, while Moubray's RCM2 provides an excellent academic description of topics associated with RCM, there are a number of important questions and topics that have been left unaddressed in print. In Reliability Centered Maintenance-Unraveling the Mysteries, author James Gehris offers a diligent and comprehensive expansion and companion that provides questions beyond the traditional RCM questions and definitions. With over thirty years of experience as a US Marine Corps maintenance officer using RCM concepts and approaches, Gehris provides a roadmap to help ensure that any RCM analyses are properly conducted and comply with the SAE JA1011 standard for RCM. |

Reyes-Picknell, 2017-05-25 Reliability Centered Maintenance – Reengineered: Practical Optimization of the RCM Process with RCM-R® provides an optimized approach to a well-established and highly successful method used for determining failure management policies for physical assets. It makes the original method that was developed to enhance flight safety far more useful in a broad range of industries where asset criticality ranges from high to low. RCM-R® is focused on the science of failures and what must be done to enable long-term sustainably reliable operations. If used correctly, RCM-R® is the first step in delivering fewer breakdowns, more productive capacity, lower costs, safer operations and improved environmental performance. Maintenance has a huge impact on most businesses whether its presence is felt or not. RCM-R® ensures that the right work is done to guarantee there are as few nasty surprises as possible that can harm the business in any way. RCM-R® was developed to leverage on RCM’s original success at delivering that effectiveness while addressing the concerns of the industrial market. RCM-R® addresses the RCM method and shortfalls in its application -- It modifies the method to consider asset and even failure mode criticality so that rigor is applied only where it is truly needed. It removes (within reason) the sources of concern about RCM being overly rigorous and too labor intensive without compromising on its ability to deliver a tailored failure management program for physical assets sensitive to their operational context and application. RCM-R® also provides its practitioners with standard based guidance for determining meaningful failure modes and causes facilitating their analysis for optimum outcome. Includes extensive review of the well proven RCM method and what is needed to make it successful in the industrial environment Links important elements of the RCM method with relevant International Standards for risk management and failure management Enhances RCM with increased emphasis on statistical analysis, bringing it squarely into the realm of Evidence Based Asset Management Includes extensive, experience based advice on implementing and sustaining RCM based failure management programs |

| rcm ii john moubray: Handbook of Maintenance Management and Engineering Mohamed Ben-Daya, Salih O. Duffuaa, Abdul Raouf, Jezdimir Knezevic, Daoud Ait-Kadi, 2009-07-30 To be able to compete successfully both at national and international levels, production systems and equipment must perform at levels not even thinkable a decade ago. Requirements for increased product quality, reduced throughput time and enhanced operating effectiveness within a rapidly changing customer demand environment continue to demand a high maintenance performance. In some cases, maintenance is required to increase operational effectiveness and revenues and customer satisfaction while reducing capital, operating and support costs. This may be the largest challenge facing production enterprises these days. For this, maintenance strategy is required to be aligned with the production logistics and also to keep updated with the current best practices. Maintenance has become a multidisciplinary activity and one may come across situations in which maintenance is the responsibility of people whose training is not engineering. This handbook aims to assist at different levels of understanding whether the manager is an engineer, a production manager, an experienced maintenance practitioner or a beginner. Topics selected to be included in this handbook cover a wide range of issues in the area of maintenance management and engineering to cater for all those interested in maintenance whether practitioners or researchers. This handbook is divided into 6 parts and contains 26 chapters covering a wide range of topics related to maintenance management and engineering. |

| rcm ii john moubray: Practical Reliability Engineering and Analysis for System Design and Life-Cycle Sustainment William R. Wessels, 2010-04-16 In today's sophisticated world, reliability stands as the ultimate arbiter of quality. An understanding of reliability and the ultimate compromise of failure is essential for determining the value of most modern products and absolutely critical to others, large or small. Whether lives are dependent on the performance of a heat shield or a chip in a lab, random failure is never an acceptable outcome. Written for practicing engineers, Practical Reliability Engineering and Analysis for System Design and Life-Cycle Sustainment departs from the mainstream approach for time to failure-based reliability engineering and analysis. The book employs a far more analytical approach than those textbooks that rely on exponential probability distribution to characterize failure. Instead, the author, who has been a reliability engineer since 1970, focuses on those probability distributions that more accurately describe the true behavior of failure. He emphasizes failure that results from wear, while considering systems, the individual components within those systems, and the environmental forces exerted on them. Dependable Products Are No Accident: A Clear Path to the Creation of Consistently Reliable Products Taking a step-by-step approach that is augmented with current tables to configure wear, load, distribution, and other essential factors, this book explores design elements required for reliability and dependable systems integration and sustainment. It then discusses failure mechanisms, modes, and effects—as well as operator awareness and participation—and also delves into reliability failure modeling based on time-to-failure data considering a variety of approaches. From there, the text demonstrates and then considers the advantages and disadvantages for the stress-strength analysis approach, including various phases of test simulation. Taking the practical approach still further, the author covers reliability-centered failure analysis, as well as condition-based and time-directed maintenance. As a science, reliability was once considered the plaything of statisticians reporting on time-to-failure measurements, but in the hands of a practicing engineer, reliability is much more than the measure of an outcome; it is something to be achieved, something to quite purposely build into a system. Reliability analysis of mechanical design for structures and dynamic components demands a thorough field-seasoned approach that first looks to understand why a part fails, then learns how to fix it, and finally learns how to prevent its failing. Ultimately, reliability of mechanical design is based on the relationship between stress and strength over time. This book blends the common sense of lessons learned with mechanical engineering design and systems integration, with an eye toward sustainment. This is the stuff that enables organizations to achieve products valued for their world-class reliability. |
| rcm ii john moubray: Complex Engineering Service Systems Irene Ng, Glenn Parry, Peter Wild, Duncan McFarlane, Paul Tasker, 2011-07-02 For manufacturers of complex engineering equipment, the focus on service and achieving outcomes for customers is the key to growth. Yet, the capability to provide service for complex engineered products is less understood. Taking a trans-disciplinary approach, Complex Engineering Service Systems covers various aspects of service in complex engineering systems, with perspectives from engineering, management, design, operations research, strategy, marketing and operations management that are relevant to different disciplines, organisation functions, and geographic locations. The focus is on the many facets of complex engineering service systems around a core integrative framework of three value transformations – that of material/equipment, information and people. Complex Engineering Service Systems is the outcome of the EPSRC/BAE Systems S4T (Service Support Solutions: Strategy and Transition) research programme of 10 universities and 27 researchers, which examined how high-value manufacturers of complex engineering products adapt to a multi-partnered environment to design and deliver value in a service system. Complex Engineering Service Systems aims to be the main source of knowledge for academics and professionals in the research and practice of contracting, managing, designing, leading, and delivering complex engineering service systems. The book takes a value-based approach to integrating equipment and human factors into a total service provision. In doing so, it aims to advance the field of service systems and engineering. |
| rcm ii john moubray: Reliability-Centered Maintenance: Management and Engineering Methods R.T. Anderson, L. Neri, 2012-12-06 In this book the authors provide a fresh look at basic reliability and maintainability engineering techniques and management tools for ap plication to the system maintenance planning and implementation process. The essential life-cycle reliability centered maintenance (ReM) activities are focused on maintenance planning and the prevention of failure. The premise is that more efficient, and therefore effective, life-cycle main tenance programs can be established using a well disciplined decision logic analysis process that addresses individual part failure modes, their consequences, and the actual preventive maintenance tasks. This premise and the techniques and tools described emphasize preventive, not corrective, maintenance. The authors also describe the techniques and tools fundamental to maintenance engineering. They provide an understanding of the inter relationships of the elements of a complete ReM program (which are applicable to any complex system or component and are not limited only to the aircraft industry). They describe special methodologies for improving the maintenance process. These include an on-condition maintenance (OeM) methodology to identify defects and potential deterioration which can determine what is needed as a maintenance action in order to prevent failure during use. |
| rcm ii john moubray: Planning and Control of Maintenance Systems Salih O. Duffuaa, A. Raouf, 2016-10-15 Analyzing maintenance as an integrated system with objectives, strategies and processes that need to be planned, designed, engineered, and controlled using statistical and optimization techniques, the theme of this book is the strategic holistic system approach for maintenance. This approach enables maintenance decision makers to view maintenance as a provider of a competitive edge not a necessary evil. Encompassing maintenance systems; maintenance strategic and capacity planning, planned and preventive maintenance, work measurements and standards, material (spares) control, maintenance operations and control, planning and scheduling, maintenance quality, training, and others, this book gives readers an understanding of the relevant methodology and how to apply it to real-world problems in industry.

| rcm ii john moubray: The Effects of Equipment Age on Mission-Critical Failure Rates: A Study of M1 Tanks , 2004 Aging equipment has become a key concern of Army leaders striving to maintain high operational readiness. Army leaders anticipate that equipment age will pose a continually increasing challenge over the lengthy period in which current equipment is expected to remain in the Army's fleet, anticipated until about 2030 in some cases, as it develops and fully fields its next generation of forces termed the future force. In response, the Army has initiated a recapitalization (RECAP) program to rebuild and/or upgrade selected systems, such that combat capabilities are maintained and maintenance costs are kept affordable. To date, the Army plans to rebuild or upgrade 17 systems-including the M1 Abrams, M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, M88 Recovery Vehicle, and other systems that are expected to remain in the inventory for the next 15 to 20 years (Brownlee and Keane, 2002; Army Recapitalization Management, 2003). These modernization plans continue to evolve, however. To help determine the scale of RECAP required to maintain the desired level of operational readiness capability, and to facilitate RECAP program design, statistical analyses of the relationship between age and Army equipment failures are needed. This report describes a RAND Arroyo Center study, sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (OASAALT), on the impact of age on the Ml Abrams mission-critical failure rate. The Ml Abrams is of particular interest because it is often considered the centerpiece of the Army's heavy ground forces, because it has a high average fleet age that will continue to advance, and because it is scheduled to remain a key part of the force for as many as 30 more years. Consequently, it has been one of the key systems being targeted by the RECAP program. |

| rcm ii john moubray: Administración. Aprender y actuar Enrique Herrscher, 2013-11-18 Este no es un texto más sobre Administración. En esta obra, lo teórico es muy práctico, y la práctica no omite los “por qué”, los “por qué no” y los “para qué”. Frente a la complejidad del quehacer empresario y de su contexto, es cada vez más necesario abandonar los enfoques lineales o fragmentados, y reemplazarlos por modos de pensar y actuar integradores, que interrelacionen y realimenten, o sea, enfoques sistémicos. El libro está escrito por 12 personas con diferentes trayectorias y enfoques. Su creador y coordinador, Enrique G. Herrscher –cuyo estilo expositivo los lectores ya conocen de sus otros libros en esta colección–, es autor de 12 de los 32 capítulos. Otros 11 capítulos -de los dos coautores principales, Alfredo Rébori y Claudia D’Annunzio, respectivamente decano e investigadora especializada en PyMEs, de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional del Centro (Pcia. de Buenos Aires)- aportan su visión eminentemente académica. Y los 9 capítulos de otros tantos colaboradores tienen, como es obvio, la impronta de sus particulares visiones y campos de actuación. El conjunto está enfocado a las empresas de tamaño mediano de la Argentina y –por analogía– de Latinoamérica, que tengan el impulso de llegar a medianas. Todas ellas deben estar bien administradas, so pena de desaparecer (a diferencia de la gran empresa, capaz de perdurar gracias a sus recursos). Todas deben ser eficaces en su planeamiento, gestión y control. No se trata de rentabilidad solamente económica, sino también social: que su desempeño sea el de un subsistema de la sociedad y que su aporte sea mayor que los recursos que le extrae. Esta noción explica el foco de la presente obra y la justifica. |
