Anticipatory Maintenance PlanningLaajuus (10 cr)

Objective

The students can identify development targets and starting points of anticipatory maintenance for developing systematic reliability. The students master the phases of reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and they can apply it for developing the anticipatory maintenance of different objects. The students can also act as leaders RCM analyses and they can perceive ways to secure the success of the implementation of analyses. The students have also capabilities to develop and apply the maintenance parameters for successful assessment of the RCM methods. The students are able to apply and further develop the RCM method when necessary.

Content

Identification of maintenance development targets. Backgrounds of RCM methods. The main content and phases of RCM. The differences and applicability of different RCM methods. Implementation of an RCM process and measurement of its success. Further development of RCM.RCM assignment.
