RCM Turbo™
RCM-Turbo™ is a Windows® based tool that helps large organizations overcome key impediments to successfully implementing their Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) programs by reducing the amount of time and overall cost associated with the RCM analysis. RCM-Turbo™ is a structured and easily deployable approach to RCM that offers expert criticality assessment, optimized frequencies, workflow smoothing, grouped workflow optimization and extensive failure mode libraries.
Compliments Your Existing CMMS
RCM-Turbo™ is a complementary front-end enhancement to any computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). Most commercially available CMMS’s can be found in the RCM Turbo™ user base, making it easy for you to export optimal maintenance plans into the CMMS of your choice. RCM-Turbo™ is not a replacement for your existing CMMS.
Combines Maintenance and Business/Financial Objectives
RCM-Turbo™ effectively combines both maintenance and business/financial objectives. The tool is an effective way to bring multiple disciplines together in order to make better decisions in relation to maintenance, reliability engineering and finance.
Easy to Implement
Traditional, paper based, Reliability-Centered Maintenance is cumbersome, expensive to implement, resource intensive, time consuming and disruptive. In contrast, RCM-Turbo™ is a simple, easy-to-use, complete solution that is significantly less expensive and much less invasive to implement.
RCM-Turbo™ dramatically reduces the time taken to perform an RCM analysis because it requires assessors to consider the consequence of failure and the entire asset maintenance function in terms of cost to the business. Costs associated with the implementation of RCM-Turbo™ are surprisingly low, much lower than traditional RCM methods that rarely get fully implemented due to the burdensome tasks associated with analysis.
The RCM-Turbo Focus
RCM-Turbo™ focuses on “correct” maintenance, thereby reducing maintenance costs by as much as 40 percent. The tool also optimizes frequencies, encouraging “what if” scenarios, which ultimately results in more informed decisions.
RCM-Turbo™ provides users with a complete solution, including cost/risk based frequency optimization, auto-grouping, zero-based budgeting and workload smoothing, as well as a reliability based plan that can be fully implemented.
One Client’s Experience with RCM-Turbo™
After implementing RCM-Turbo™ one client experienced the following:
- Reduced the need for PM actions by a factor of 2.8
- Resulted in 121 decisions to run to failure
- Reduced manpower by a factor of three
- Identified 11 critical failure modes missed by a conventional program
- Identified 20 tasks in a conventional program for which there were no failure modes discovered
