Reliability Centered Maintenance & FMEA

The engineering student will gain understanding of “Consequence of Failure Analysis (COFA)”, previously known as the “Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)”, as part of the process used to develop a Premier Reliability Program. Those in management will be required to increase efficiencies as much as possible while decreasing lost time due to maintaining the entity. This includes the adoption of reliability-centered maintenance techniques for any entity where it is unacceptable to incur an unplanned shutdown, a loss of production or generation capability, a regulatory violation, environmental hazards, or any safety hazards such as fires, explosions, or personnel injuries especially when applied to preventive maintenance. In essence, it is any entity that manufactures a product or produces an output where it is unacceptable to incur unplanned interruptions of the operation or worse yet an unwanted disaster. (i.e, includes any type of manufacturing or production facility, any type of aircraft, military equipment or military installation, any type of power plant, i.e., fossil, hydro, or nuclear, a cruise ship, an oil refinery, a paper mill, a major assembly line, etc.

  Bloom, Neil B.

  Neil Bloom has 38+ years experience in engineering reliability practices, of which he spent 21 years at San Onofre Nuclear plant supporting engineering, licensing and working with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. For 15 years he led engineering and maintenance at Eastern Airlines, working with the FAA. A mechanical engineer by profession, he started out in the commercial aviation industry, where the methods of RCM first originated. Over his many years in aviation and nuclear power, he has seen how RCM can become difficult to implement; and most of those who try it end up throwing their hands into the air with a sigh of defeat and despair. Now, he has changed all of this so that even laypersons can facilitate their own RCM programs using only in-house resources. Additionally, ...Read More
