OMDEC - Optimal Maintenance Decisions Inc.

LRCM (Living RCM) recognizes that the key to prediction and CBM (Condition Based Maintenance) decision making is knowledge. Knowledge in maintenance derives from reliability analysis. In order to perform reliability analysis we need a telescope to as-found equipment condition. LRCM uniquely solves the 5 decade old problem of collecting and analyzing the right information.

Maintenance systems, such as CMMS, CBM (Condition Based Maintenance) and EAM tools, are provided by many respected suppliers and all come with the promise to reduce costs and improve productivity. But, clients come to OMDEC saying: “I have this growing stockpile of data and multiple reports now on my desk gathered by various systems. Is there an intelligent way to tie all this together, simply ?”

BP Australia and Harris Refrigerated Transport are among the pioneers!

The answer is yes.

LRCM's benefits materialize from the very first moment, by:

• Providing comprehensive feedback on failure behavior
• Making reliability data accessible for analysis
• Facilitating reliability analysis (Weibull, Pareto, Jack-knife, EXAKT, etc)
• Updating the RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) knowledge base, continuously and automatically
• Providing quick access to RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) knowledge from EAM/CMMS for accurate work order completion
• Maintaining the currency and accuracy of maintenance decision models

The Living RCM system collects valuable information from data stores dispersed throughout the organization. LRCM assembles that data in a form that links directly with reliability analysis (RA) software. Maintenance users have long awaited such a simple method to perform RA directly from the CMMS and without the need to export and manipulate data externally. LRCM unleashes value of data and the power of hitherto unused RA software, placing the analysis results at the fingertips of the maintenance engineers and managers.

EAM/CMMS managers, Condition Based Maintenance managers, maintenance managers, engineers and reliability analysts, thanks to Living RCM enabled data analysis, will, henceforth, make the best short and long term maintenance decisions possible, particularly in thse industries:

• Mining
• Petrochemical and Refining, Oil and Gas
• Chemicals
• Utilities
• Metal Processing, Steel and Plastics
• Pulp and Paper, forest products
• Heavy Transportation
• Food and Beverage processing
• Municipal, State and Federal Departments, Military and
• Any industry where the consequences of equipment failure are significant.

LRCM 

• Generates the Events table from the CMMS database for direct processing by reliability analysis software
• Links the EAM/CMMS, Reliability Centered Maintenance, and Condition Based Maintenance databases
• Updates the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) knowledge base
• Assesses Condition Based Maintenance performance
• Identifies and monitors those inspection variables that impact failure probability

Input:

• Equipment and component parameters
• Event data from the work order
• Condition data – vibration, oil analysis results, process variables (temperatures, pressures, flows, etc)
• Failure modes and effects analyses
• RCM/Reliability Centered Maintenance analyses

Output:

• The Events table listing equipment "life" data (beginnings, endings by suspension or failure, dates, and working ages)
• RCM / FMEA knowledge base updates
• Weibull, Pareto, Jack-knife, EXAKT and other reliability analysis results
• Decision making knowledge
