Nobody would deny the fact that any sphere of human activity consists of a wide range of minor details, which comprise certain actions within a specific field. In a like manner, different rules can be applied to the manufacturing and domestic maintenance. As the need for a well-planed, effective and safe maintenance has emerged, a complex methodology has been designed. It is called Reliability Centred Maintenance. Such methodology is applied to various contexts of maintenance so that there has been a little agreement on what is a real purpose of such approach. Therefore, current paper lingers upon the analysis and contextualization of RCM in terms of accumulator battery recycling asset.
To be more specific, the following paper …show more content…
Then, RCM serves the environmental consideration, as well. Such aspect can be linked to the cost-saving advantage of the methodology. RCM does not eliminate wastes but organizes the performance in a way which implies minimal use of raw material or any other required resource. What is more, RCM serves the function of prediction. Namely, RCM creates a certain network so that the process of maintenance can be predicted. By the same token, RCM detects certain deviations in performance in accordance with already created framework. Eventually, RCM is commonly applied to changing procedures in order to ensure proper shifts within the asset.
The majority of average personnel, as well as the managers do not utilize such methodology. It can be explained by the fact that the requirements of RCM are complicated and the managers simply refuse to apply the approach as long as it demands a wide range of aspects to be taken into consideration (Ao & Gelman 2013). In such way, it can be regarded as a disadvantage of RCM. Having described the basic principles of RCM, it is necessary to contextualize this …show more content…
Hence, the temperature is supposed to be observed on a regular basis regardless of the manufacture phase. The same solution can be applied to the excessive use of water for recycling. Besides that, however, operation manager and related personnel are responsible for a reasonable calculation of water consumption per working cycle. In this case, a zero approach is required: a pilot round should be conducted with no water and then with a little amount so that it could be possible to indicate the most apt amount on the basis of comparison (Basu & Wright 2005). As for the excessive torque of the main engine, it has to be indicated that it should be set at the initial stage of the maintenance. The maintenance manager is responsible for the starting data so that torque could be regulated in advance. The best solution to such problem is the initial choice of an asset with needed engine torque. Regarding the overloading of the asset, the amount and frequency of loads are usually controlled by operation manager as long as he or she is expected to make the best judgement of the schedule, capacity of the asset and economy considerations. On the contrary, the performance with a little load but the same parameters is an evident result of the employee’s failure to report about minimal load and set the relevant parameters. The
