RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE
27 - 28 AUGUST 2026
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This programme introduces Reliability Centred Maintenance as a structured method for building risk-based maintenance strategies. Participants learn to select critical systems, define functions and failures, analyse failure modes and consequences, and choose technically feasible maintenance tasks that protect reliability while controlling lifecycle cost. Practical examples and guided discussion help participants connect the subject to decisions and challenges in their own workplace.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain the purpose, principles and seven questions of Reliability Centred Maintenance.
- Select and define an appropriate system for RCM analysis.
- Form an effective cross-functional RCM team and establish system boundaries.
- Define functions, functional failures, failure modes, effects and consequences.
- Use criticality and FMECA information to prioritise risk.
- Select technically appropriate and worthwhile proactive or default maintenance tasks.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for maintenance and reliability engineers, operations representatives, planners, supervisors and mechanical, electrical or instrumentation technicians who contribute to asset-strategy and RCM analysis.
