A one-day seminar on the basic principles of 21st century physical asset management
As
business becomes more dependent on the safe and reliable performance of physical assets, it is becoming essential that senior
managers develop a deeper understanding of the key issues and responsibilities involved in their management.This
seminar, to be conducted by a leading authority on the management of physical assets, reviews the fundamentals of physical
asset management. In particular, it will explore twelve key areas where fundamental changes need to be made in the way we
think if we are to become truly 'responsible custodians' of the assets in our care, on behalf their owners, their users and
society as a whole.
This course
enables delegates to learn what RCM is and how it works (extensive use is made of practical exercises and case studies throughout
the course), what RCM achieves and how it achieves it, and to gain an appreciation of all the kinds of resources needed to
apply the process successfully. It is intended for anyone who wishes to secure optimum performance from physical assets (including
electrical and electronic equipment), from the viewpoint of safety, environmental integrity, output, product quality or customer
service. This course is also designed to enable people to participate meaningfully in RCM Review Groups, and it is a prerequisite for anyone who plans to attend our RCM facilitator’s course. The 3-day course is conducted either as a public course or as an in-company course for classes of up 16 people.
The RCM facilitator plays a crucial role in the implementation of an RCM analysis. Of all the factors which affect
the ultimate quality of an analysis, the skill of the facilitator is the most important. This is a hands-on interactive course,
where delegates will learn how to guide a RCM Review Group in the application of RCM2 in addition to consolidating their own knowledge on the subject. Under the guidance of an experienced
licensed RCM2 Practitioners, delegates will work in a group setting on a series of exercises where each attendee takes turns
acting as facilitator.The first exercise is a highly developed standard case study packed with features
which reinforce key points about RCM. The second exercise is a zero-based case study in which a real asset is analyzed from
first principles. Another feature of the course is the application of failure finding tasks to protective devices. Courses
are normally syndicated and are limited to a maximum of 12 delegates.
