Let me also set the stage here for something else to consider. The known component problems are what maintenance budgets are made for. If there is a need or desire to adjust the maintenance activity or its frequency, then proceed to step 4. For another thing, I honestly don't think there have been many revolutionary ideas in "RCM" or pick your own favorite in-vogue TLA or buzzword in a very long time with the possible exception of new possibilities that increasingly become available with advances in computer technology. Do operators review system health reports or have the opportunity to discuss problems with system engineers during system walkdowns? This is one of the hard links management can establish to reinforce an intolerance for unexpected equipment failures.

This may include such criteria as: In such a case, RCM would be a waste of time and money. Trend as-found equipment condition codes to identify patterns of degradation by component type and the need to adjust PM tasks or frequencies.

This total lnpo could have been avoided with the addition of a few simple but strategic PM's that would not have cost more than a few hundred dollars to implement. This is the entry point for an equipment reliability improvement Start Equipment effort such as PM jnpo or life-cycle planning. It is not the components that everyone knows is a problem that have the greatest potential to wreak havoc on your facility; it is the "unknown failure consequences" and the incorrectly invoked categorization of run-to-failure that poses the greatest threat to safety and reliability.

In;o monitoring parameters based on or linked to indicators of degradation? There is always the question of spares.

In virtually every case, any type of true RCM effort will result in certain INCREASED costs because certain previously unknown failure consequences will be addressed and hence, those components will need to be continuously maintained within the preventive maintenance program.

The station equipment inoo Change to Task or process should result in questioning and continuous reviews Frequency? Component failure creates an unacceptable increase in personnel, industrial, environmental, or radiological safety hazard.

I really like to see the power of RCM to identify unknown failure consequences.

If there is a documented basis for the existing PM inpi Aging Management Program AMPthen determine if the change is justified in accordance with step 4.

Employ condition monitoring techniques when performance monitoring cannot be related to component degradation. How are equipment problems identified? Continuing Equipment Reliability Improvement 4. Perform corrective maintenance in accordance with the station work management process.

Degradation can be visibly observed during nonlicensed operator rounds or system engineer walkdowns. Some plants perform a yearly effectiveness review; others look at problems as they occur to determine if they are similar to past events.

Even with all of the bells and whistles and with the on-going internal and external assessments, with the dual verification of procedures, with the extensive tailboarding, etc, etc, the nuke industry does not have any more insight than any other type ap9-13 plant or facility when it comes to identifying and understanding the precise nature of equipment reliability.

Component failure will hamper or prevent timely repair of a critical component.

So why do people call these peripheral programs an RCM program? The component is necessary for work on critical equipment for example, isolation valve.

It does not have to be that way. There is a long lead time for replacement parts, which prevents a required component from being repaired in a timely fashion. The bottom line is that However, if your facility is such that the worst thing that can happen is within the realm of acceptance by your senior management, then RCM is not really needed. Lay out the time line and milestones for major activities. If so, initiate an Inppo report.

Ensure troubleshooting plans include recommended evaluation and considerations prior to any sort of intrusive activity.

Otherwise, continue performance monitoring in accordance with steps 2. Vendor manuals contain troubleshooting guidance and maintenance recommendations. Actually, I asked you to post a picture of yours at any age together with John Moubray who was your year acquantance. How well is it implemented?

Effect of component failure has been evaluated. It sp-913 where the population of equipment requiring preventive maintenance is identified. There is a potential for new risks from hazardous chemicals or environmental concerns.
