How RCI Delivers... FMEA | OA | RCA | RCA Methods Training | Reliability Assessments

• 

  FMEA: Failure Modes & Effects Analysis

  RCI provides Facilitators to lead and assist Lead Analysts on conducting Basic Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA). Our Facilitators will guide your team of Subject Matter Experts (SME) through the development of the Process Flow Diagram, the value tables for measuring Risk (Probability x Severity) and creating the spreadsheet to input the applied rankings for potential modes of failure. The deliverable will be a Risk Assessment of a selected process where the “Significant Few” are identified. The Significant Few are the 20% (or less) of the potential modes that represent 80% of the risk in a process.
  As a result of knowing this risk distribution, decisions will be made about recommendations on how to reduce the risk. At this time decisions can be made to implement recommendations to counter the potential failure modes or to conduct a proactive Root Cause Analysis and drill deeper to understand how the potential failure modes could materialize, then develop and implement recommendations.

  OA: Opportunity Analysis (Risk Analysis)

  RCI PROACT Facilitators will guide your team through the development of the definition of failure/loss and the Process Flow Diagram (PFD). We will work with your Subject Matter Experts (SME) on the team to determine the frequency of occurrence per year and the average impacts on the system being analyzed when a failure does occur in the process (i.e. – labor, materials, downtime, etc.). Our Facilitators will go on to help the SME’s develop the assumptions used to qualify and measure each impact (i.e. – labor rates, cost/hours of downtime in the process) to ensure the analysis results are substantiated and credible.
  As a result of knowing the distribution of the expenditures due to failures, identifying the candidates for RCA is made based on quantitative impact to the current process instead of the short term perspective of what is failing right now.

  RCA: Root Cause Analysis

  Our team of experts provide consulting and facilitation on the PROACT^® Methods & Software. Utilizing our exclusive tools we will lead and assist your Principal Investigators with conducting their Root Cause Analyses. Our goal as facilitators will be to channel all of the expertise of your team in such an organized fashion that the path(s) to failure are uncovered using documented evidence and not hearsay. In the event that the client does not have required Subject Matter Experts (SME) for the RCA at hand, RCI can provide various experts to work in this capacity as SME’s to support your RCA team and their objectives. Such expertise is available on an as-needed basis. Many clients trained in Root Cause Analysis choose to be mentored during their first attempt at resolving the causes of a major undesirable event. Additionally, corporations experiencing chronic, high-impact problems often want assurances that field proven best practices are used to arrive at sound, validated conclusions.
  Our proven methodology, award winning software and our Senior Consultants who investigate incidents for a living will help develop your program and our Facilitators will help your organization perform and deliver a credible and thorough RCA. We'll help take your team to the next level.

• Reliability Assessments for All Industries:

• Reliability Assessments

• Plant and Maintenance Assessments are not just for industrial purposes. Hospitals and government facilities also have hard and soft issues that are barriers to establishing a Reliability environment within a given facility. Both also have issues that directly affect process equipment Reliability. Facility Reliability Assessment Reports includes recommendations that address solutions to the major stumbling blocks identified by the assessment team, and is delivered within two weeks after the completion of the assessment.
  
  Reliability Assessments can focus on an entire facility encompassing all departments and their contribution to Reliability, or they can focus on individual departments. Oftentimes Reliability Assessments are requested specifically for Maintenance Departments only and therefore the boundaries are set to the scope of the analysis. Under such conditions, the Assessment team will focus on the equipment, process and human reliability issues affecting the ability of the Maintenance Department to meet and exceed their Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
  
  The first priority of any Reliability Assessment is to determine the GAP. The GAP is the range between where an organization or department has the potential to be versus where they actually are. The Assessment prep team will provide the client team leader a Data Collection form outlining all of the data requirements for the Reliability Assessment team from RCI. This document will request information such as corporate KPI’s, applicable procedures and policies, training systems documentation, current organizational chart, purchasing systems documentation, information on Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) used or equivalents, department performance reports, failure reporting systems, hiring practices, etc. This information will be thoroughly reviewed by the team prior to the team coming on site. Working with the client, the RCI Assessment team will submit an interview schedule so the client can set up 30 minute to 1 hour interviews with various personnel from various departments. RCI will seek an unbiased cross-section of individuals to interview. Upon completion of the data collected from the interviews, the team will provide the client contact and summary of their initial findings prior to returning to RCI for deliberations and finalizing the report for submittal to client.
