RCM Implementation
by Henry Ellmann

Experience gathered by a dozen of RCM Practitioners over almost two decades of RCM installations for diverse branches of industry on hundreds of sites in 20 countries of America and Europe, have shown that the most challenging step is the actual IMPLEMENTATION of the RCM conclusions.
The tasks defined by the RCM analysis, must be fully and thoroughly performed. The requisites and the steps to achieve this, which in turn is the purpose of the whole exercise, must be clearly understood, planned and controlled.
As links in a “chain of events”, if any one single link of such chain is weak, unreliable or not built in, the whole effort is doomed to fail.
Which are these unavoidable links which will assure the sought results?

RCD - Reliability Centered Design
by Henry Ellmann

Traditionally, neither Maintenance nor Operations are active part of an Equipment or Plant Design team.
For quite some time, this is being recognized as a serious shortcoming and is being corrected!
The extensive application of RCM to existing installations, has pointed to the advantage of seeking participation of maintenance experts on the design team, as early as possible. By doing so, not only reliability but also maintainability is greatly enhanced.
Addressing the benefits of predictive maintenance during the design stage, applying RCM philosophy, has proven to save money and headaches during start-up phases and during plant life, throughout.
