Many organizations invest heavily in Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) yet still face repeat failures and inconsistent performance. The issue is rarely the analysis—it’s the gap between insight and execution. This 4-hour workshop introduces a practical, field-tested approach to closing that gap by integrating RCM with Root Cause Problem Elimination (RCPE). Designed for intermediate practitioners, the session focuses on when to apply RCM versus RCPE—and how they work together to prevent failures, detect issues earlier, and eliminate recurring problems. Participants will learn to identify breakdowns between strategy and execution, align maintenance and operations, and implement cost-effective, sustainable solutions. Using a common-sense “how-can” methodology, attendees will gain tools applicable across industries and asset types. The result: a shift from reactive maintenance to proactive reliability, driving improved uptime, capacity, and operational consistency.
