4. EQUATE PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY Why do RCM?  Optimize Preventive Predictive Maintenance activities.  Understand the risks associated with our Equipment/System Failures and how to manage them.  Change EQUATE PPM Program approach from an Event Driven to a Reliability Driven.  Ensure that EQUATE Assets are performing at the levels demanded by our customers.  Change the culture to promote “Data” approach vs. “I feel” approach.

5. EQUATE PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY RCM Project Objectives PPM Evaluation and optimization through:  Implementation of RCM for all operating EQUATE Plant facilities by end of 2006.  Update all PPM plans in EQUATE CMMS System with the RCM frequencies and tasks by Year end of 2006.  Extract Operator Driven Reliability (ODR) tasks from RCM analysis by end of 2006.  Ensure continuous improvement process to sustain RCM after implementation.

6. EQUATE PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY RCM Project Stages  Project initiated and sponsored by EQUATE Management in January 2004 and started in March 2004.  The implementation team Consisted from Maintenance (Core),Operation and Reliability members.  RCM Implementation Phases were:  Data Collection & Criticality Analysis.  Data Analysis.  Frequency Optimization & Task Grouping.  CMMS Update and implementation.  Sustain RCM.  Use of Strategic RCM Turbo and Strategic Resources as support during the project.

11. EQUATE PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY DATA, DATA, DATA –Document history in Failure Mode Format not activity Based format. –Educate your maintenance organization on the importance of DATA documentation and mining. –Establish standard format on data gathering, documentation and storage into your CMMS. –Let your CMMS work for you. Reliability Analysis –Distinguish between real failure modes and symptoms. –Root Cause Successes as well as Failures. –Probability, Probability Growth Charting and Reliability Modeling will let the DATA talk. –Listen to the data. Sustain Performance –Integrate your PPM Tools into your work processes to ensure alignment and performance. –Set challenging goals and targets, then Reward achievements. –Measure, Analyze, Improve, control then do it all over again. Lessons Learnt
