Reviews

By reading all previous books/publications - I've found that Rolly's comprehensive knowledge and experience is translated in easy to read, understand and easy to apply in the real world. Highly recommended material for everyone who wants to advance or starts to discover the Maintenance and Reliability world or proactively solve many issues that makes your day a nightmare! M&R 101 material! From Kristijan Apostolski CRL-BB, CMM, LSSBB, CCMP, MBAI appreciate the various types of failure modes, maintenance strategies used, and how RCM compares with other methods. I have also seen why RCM is simple to understand and straightforward. It had also helped me to see the difference between RCM and RRM. The benefits of RCM are clear to all. From Oyoyo David, SPDC / Mechanical Supervisor, NigeriaThe RCM training was conducted so that the participants can confidently carry out the RCM study on critical equipment. I think the study will help the company solve most of their maintenance problems. The facilitator training style shows he has in-depth knowledge of RCM as a maintenance strategy. From Casmir U. Chierelle, QSHE Coordinator / Hermann and Cross, NigeriaTransfer of RCM concept was flowing in a logically coherent manner. The course was interactive, and all the participants were carried along during the training. With his wealth of experience, the trainer ensured that he provided adequate training materials to transfer the participants' RCM knowledge. From Chukwuma C. Lawrence, Saipem / Information and Materials. Coordinator, NigeriaRCM is a different tool and technique in maintenance that can be adapted in different industries. This approach can reduce and define the job in maintenance to eliminate failures or reduce the frequency of equipment failures. From John John Azarcon, Maintenance Supervisor, PhilippinesI came to know about the limitations of Preventive Maintenance, which we have been following religiously over the years. The difference between the classifications of maintenance strategies was clearly understood during the program. From Manne Sankara Rao, Senior Manager. Reliance Industries Ltd., IndiaConducted in a very enthusiastic, informative, and well-organized fashion. Information related to RCM was passed on to make it very easy to understand. Training included examples, case studies, and prompt review from faculty to participants. RCM program suggests a lot of improvement can be done in our maintenance activities. The material provided by the faculty was very informative. From Rajesh Sahi, Sub-sea O&M, IndiaLearned and understand in-depth about RCM. Also, understand how RCM is useful for the industry rather than Preventive and Predictive Maintenance and other maintenance tools. I can say one thing that RCM must be implemented in our industry.
