This is the RCM Facilitator training. You will become a Master in RCM after finishing this training. You must be RCM Level 1 certified to access this training. Phase 1 is theoretical. Phase 2 is practical. You have to finish both to become a certified RCM facilitator. This training is only available in English.

Phase 1 is around 100-120 hours including the homework. This covers all terminology, all background information how to predict, prevent or minimize the consequences of failure. You will fully understand when to use FMEA or FMECA. You will know when to use an Object FME(C)A and when a system FMEA is needed.

These FME(C)A’s describe failure behavior in a highly structured way so it can be used for developing and optimizing …

• maintenance concept > maintenance plan > maintenance program
• sparepart strategy
• operator and technicians training
• procedures
• budgets. The analyses will advise if cost and risks can be decreased by people, modifications, procedures, replacements, …
• all professional AI approaches need these FME(C)A details.

Especially HIDDEN FAILURES is a highly appreciated. At the end of this training, you will fully understand hidden failures, you know how to make processes reliable and available. And understand what is needed to find those hidden failures to minimize costs and/or risks. Each hidden failure will become evident when other failures need that hidden function. Asset management is not able to cover this. You need to understand the RCM logic to make production processes better – each day.

Phase 1 ends with a theoretical exam. 60 questions, 60 minutes. Your score must be =>80%, otherwise its not “reliable”.
Phase 2 is practical and it follows phase 1. You must deliver your Master Project (MP) in less than 3 months. The MP is your own work. It is one RCM and one QM analysis. During phase 2 you will have weekly online sessions with your trainer/coach to keep you on track with valuable tips and tricks. Phase 2 ends when both examiners (RCM Level 4 certified) agree you have shown you are able to apply RCM and QM correctly.

1. RCM analysis should cover a high critical asset / system
2. QM analysis should cover a low critical asset / system

The work of a RCM facilitator is about …

• (S)he is a (team)leader who is capable to manage and coach multiple workgroups to develop professional maintenance programs for low – medium – high critical systems (assets) to reduce risks, costs, downtime and unacceptable safety / environment / quality issues.
• (S)he will change failure behavior which have a negative effect on company goals.
• (S)he is working in teams together with colleges from production, engineering, technical, electrical, training-departments to ensure the analyzed failure behavior is fully understood, covered and ready to become better – each day – all over the plant.
• (S)he is able to communicate as an RCM pro with all RCM facilitators around the globe. All RCM facilitators all over the globe, use the same terminology so they fully understand all backgrounds of failure behavior. This way they are able to optimize any system.
• (S)he should be responsible for continuous improvement as well. Because failure behavior must change in order to optimize and RCM fully covers this subject.
