Reliability Management Courses

The Reliability-centred maintenance courses are provided in collaboration with the European Reliability Centre (ERC).

Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is a method for creating maintenance concepts for highly critical systems. It is used to maintain the failure behavior of installations and systems, with the aim of optimising cost, safety, health, environment, availability, and reliability. Our RCM training follows the international standards SAE JA1011 and SAE JA1012.

RMC Level 1

RCM Level 1 is a basic training in Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM). The training is aimed at team members participating in RCM analysing, and who are managed by an RCM facilitator. The training is concluded with an exam.

Onderwerpen, o.a.:

Failure behavior as the central point
RCM standards SAE JA1011 and JA1012
Selecting an RCM project
Criticality Analysis
Setting up the operational context
Describing failure behavior in a process FMEA
Available RCM Software

RCM Level 2

RCM Level 2 is completed in 3 phases.

Phase 1: 5 days with theory exam.
Phase 2: 5 days theory and practical training.
Phase 3: 3 months to complete an RCM analysis and 14 days for the practical exam.

The RCM Level 2 training is the facilitator training in Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM). The training enables the RCM facilitator to direct an organisation to implement RCM. The RCM facilitator will also lead RCM teams, and is responsible for continuous quality improvement.

PHASE 1: training

Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) for highly critical systems
Object driven maintenance (ODM) for mid-critical systems
Quick maintenance (QM) for low-critical systems
Selecting criticality analyses
All the RCM - ODM - QM steps in detail
Working on paper, in Excel and in RCM Software

PHASE 2: training

The theory of hidden failures
Setting up an analysis and working through all the steps
Preparations of the final project and the practical exam

PHASE 3: practical exam

After the training phases, the participants have 3 months to perform an RCM analysis.
Six return daysto discuss the progress of the final projects as a group.
Practical exam with RCM level 2 certification.

FMEA / FMECA training

An FMEA or FMECA is used to record fault behavior. The FMEA is used to create and/or optimise maintenance concepts, set up spare parts management and to perform criticality analyses.

Topics include:

Development of the FMEA
Criticality analysis with Risk Priority Numbering (RPN)
Object FMEA
Process FMEA
Continuous improvement with FME(C)A's

Quick maintenance (QM) training

QM is known for its extremely fast approach to check, develop or optimise maintenance concepts. QM uses the RCM terminology and is based on RCM, but in a more streamlined way, making it up to 15x faster than RCM. A big advantage of QM is that existing maintenance plans can be optimised using the Reversed QM method.

Participants must have completed RCM level 1 or 2.
