Scottish Power successfully ingrained a sustainable process for asset management. The framework for their Operations and Maintenance Strategy (OMS) included a risk-based approach to asset management. Watch Ivara’s recorded ScottishPower case study to understand the key elements required before you define your AM strategy, tips on how to develop and implement an AM Strategy, how to identify, appraise and prioritize options and develop effective AM plans. Ensure that your organization knows and manages risk effectively and understands how to review and improve performance over time. Define asset information, guide how it is gathered and analyzed, how it is interpreted and how it is generally managed. Finally understand the key steps in how ScottishPower developed their organization for a sustainable AM culture.

If you are attending, here is something you don’t want to miss out on.

Fundamentals of RCM using RCM2 Methodology

An Introduction to RCM instructed by Ivara and members of The Aladon Network
April 20, 8-11:30 am
Includes copy of the book RCM2 by John Moubray

The application of RCM2 completely transforms the view that any organization has of its physical assets. Understanding RCM2 will revolutionize your view of maintenance and how maintenance and operations work together to care for assets.

In a half-day workshop, you will learn how RCM2 works (at a high level); learn the language and, more importantly, come to terms with the paradigm shift embodied in the RCM2 philosophy.

You will:
• Learn how to establish an overall reliability strategy with a clear understanding of the consequences and risks associated with your equipment.
• Learn how to develop technically valid equipment maintenance programs using the RCM2 methodology.
• Gain an understanding of the key differences in the RCM2 methodology as compared to other methods.
• Objectively determine which of your assets require RCM2 and which are suitable for complementary methodologies. Use a tailorable, risk-based approach to assess factors and determine how to balance RCM with parallel strategies depending on the asset’s business context and need.

RCM has been used to help formulate physical asset management strategies in almost every area of industry, in almost every industrialized country in the world. John Moubray, the founder of RCM2, and other leaders in the field worked with SAE standards body to develop a recognized standard for RCM called JA1011 and now updated to JA1012. RCM2 complies with this standard.  Don’t miss this session as it could be your company’s next business strategy to greater profitability, to comply with industry regulations, to ensure safety and environmental integrity and to reshape your organization.

Are you attending? We hope to see you there.
