Nancy Regan

The RCM Solution (eBook, ePUB)

A Practical Guide to Starting and Maintaining a Successful RCM Program

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a "how-to" generic approach with minimal theory by a well-known and very active participant in the leading maintenance organizations and conferences. The book offers a fundamental, common sense understanding of RCM. A significant portion is dedicated to SAE JA1011 compliant RCM. The book presents detailed processes that can be used when RCM is not applicable and presents a total solution for implementing RCM for any organization.

The primary market for this book is anyone responsible for Physical Asset Management within an organization, at any level of authority. The material will be just as valuable to an organization's maintenance manager as it would to the organization's leader. The book's principles will be presented generically so they are equally applicable to any industry in the world that has assets to care for - military, manufacturing, mining, plastics, power generation, etc. There is also a secondary market for this book at colleges and universities teaching reliability engineering.

Autorenporträt

Nancy Regan is the founder and President of management consulting firm The Force, Inc. She is a graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and holds a BS in Aerospace Engineering. As a U.S. Navy civilian engineer for seven years, Nancy completed Naval Aviation Maintenance Officer School. She served as a T-45 aircraft structural engineer. Nancy then became a team leader for RCM  at the Naval Air Warfare Center. She instituted the RCM program on Naval Aviation Common Support Equipment. In 2001, Nancy founded The Force. She has accumulated more than 15 years of hands-on experience facilitating reliability centered maintenance analysis, conducting RCM training and assisting her clients with implementation of RCM programs. Among her many projects, she facilitated the CH-47 Chinook Helicopter (the U.S. Army’s heavy lifter). Nancy holds U.S. and foreign patents for a parts marking process she developed using her RCM experience.
