Reliability-centred maintenance, often known as RCM, is an industrial improvement approach focused on identifying and establishing the operational, maintenance, and capital improvement policies that will manage the risks of equipment failure most effectively. This two day seminar will give you the tools and techniques to plan your maintenance effectively using RCM frameworks in order to increase the efficiency and life time of your plant and machinery.
