How to use Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) to optimise maintenance
Course Summary
The second, more advanced course in a series of two aimed at upskilling your maintenance team to bring about huge business benefits, including reduced maintenance and production costs and increased safety and profits, focuses on optimising your maintenance plan with Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM).
This highly interactive course will give you the tools you need to build reliability into your processes using RCM methodology alongside Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) principles, with industry examples highlighting the importance of technology in helping you maintain critical assets.
It can be taken as a standalone course or following 'Maintenance fundamentals.'
Where:
The course will take place within the new NMIS flagship facility next to Glasgow Airport, which includes a fully connected Digital Factory, the NMIS Manufacturing Skills Academy and a publicly accessible collaboration hub. All delegates will receive a tour of the new facility.

- Machinery condition appraisal in industry 4.0- Condition monitoring and the use of technology
- Continuously improving maintenance plans- The role of continuous improvement
The learning outcomes associated with this course are as follows:
- Understand the reliability centered maintenance process as described by standard SAE JA 1011 and 1012
- Gain knowledge in order to develop your own maintenance strategy based on reliability centered maintenance, incorporating technology to monitor and manage your assets
- Establish asset importance and priorities using FMEA/FMECA assessment approaches
This course is suited to engineering, asset management, maintenance, and reliability personnel working within or supporting manufacturing, industrial, oil and gas, and energy sectors with responsibility for the application and improvement of critical asset safety and reliability.
Attendees will gain an understanding of the reliability centred maintenance process according to the standards SAE JA 1011 and 1012. They will learn how to apply RCM principles within their organisation to optimise their maintenance plan and improve safety, reliability and predictability.
Attendees will also develop asset management tools relevant to their organisation, with an increased understanding of the use of technology in industry 4.0.
