RCM Immersion Programs – A RCM sustainability initiative

RCM Immersion Program is a capability

development and sustainability initiative

started under the Param Sankalp banner

since October 2017. Sustainability of RCM

practices and O&M culture change are

critical to the Param Sankalp program. The

vision is that by the time the program is over

everyone in the company speaks the RCM

language. So, a dedicated RCM Academy

conducts training with the help of RCM

partners AT Kearney. The Academy in

collaboration with AT Kearney developed the

training content. The first activity of the team

was to identify and train a group of internal

trainers and analysts from all divisions of

Tata Power. The team has conducted four

RCM Immersion training sessions of two

days each for 50 internal trainers.

Now, members from the Academy and AT

Kearney travel to sites and cover other O&M

personnel along with the internal trainers of

the respective division. AT Kearney and RCM

Core Team are handholding the internal

trainers in the first few trainings. Once the

academy establishes that the internal trainers

are ready, the internal trainers will train the

rest of the O&M personnel using the

customized content for each site. The

internal trainers have started training across

division since December 2017 and they have

covered 216 employees across all divisions of Tata Power. The academy targets to cover

100% employees by September 2018.

Data Analytics is an important pillar of RCM and the Param Sankalp program. RCM

Academy along with AT Kearney developed a Basic Analytics package and trained a

group of identified employees across divisions. Three such training sessions were

conducted across divisions. Further to this there were two “Advanced Analytics”

sessions conducted for employees in collaboration with IIT Bombay.

All the training sessions have helped our O&M personnel to see the RCM philosophy

and the elements more closely. The RCM Academy has played an instrumental role in

ensuring sustainability and institutionalization of RCM practices across divisions.

RCM Knowledge Fair at Hydros and T&DKnowledge Fair is a Tata Power

initiative for sharing of best practices,

knowledge, innovations and solutions

implemented at sites. Now each site is

conducting its own knowledge fair which is a

smaller version of the original. Although it is a

division specific initiative, the participation and

the scale of ideas are in line with the bigger

version conducted every year in Khopoli.

Param Sankalp participated in the

knowledge fairs in Transmission and

Distribution, and Hydros. It displayed the key

concepts and the achievements in the

respective divisions. The team also prepared

two games to reinforce the concepts of RCM

and saw huge participation. One of the games

was to emphasise on the root causes and failure

modes. The other was to emphasis on how

Preventive Maintenance is better than

corrective maintenance.

"Reliability Centered Maintenance” or

“PARAM-SANKALP” is an initiative which

is to be considered as a long-term basis

corporate level strategic initiative that has

launched in Tata Power a year ago. This is a process to analyze and integrate both the

commercial and technical aspects across various processes. Using the tools like FMEA,

Codification etc. we are trying to analyses different strategies and techniques of processes

and make them stream lined in the most optimized way. It was really an enriching

experience to be part of Station Heat Rate Optimization drive for MPL, in which we not

only reinvented the whole process but also discovered new depths in the present system and

improvements that can come because of these exercises. The experts of various internal

initiatives like COI, Sankalp, even small projects like SPS, Six Sigma, S+5S etc. is getting

involved which also in tern benefit us as a knowledge bank of this process. Digitization of

the concept will definitely bring some fruitful results at a larger aspect. We all need to boost

the process and implement this in all aspect of our processes.

My CornerConversations with you…

Mr. Himadri Bhattacharjee, LeadEngineer – Performance andEfficiency. Part of SHR FMEAand MPL Value Initiatives

Improvement in O & M strategy through RCM and involvement of O & M personnel at the

grass root level is the key and primary focus area at CGPL. Formation of Communities of

Interest (CoIs) is one of the best initiatives implemented by Tata Power, which ensures that

the potential across the organization is being leveraged for productive and innovative

solutions. Various ideation workshops were conducted involving more than 30 engineers and

as an outcome, various cross functional teams have been formed at CGPL for value

realization and to ensure maximum participation through RCM. People are involved in

finalizing SAP catalogues and carrying out data cleansing for first set of equipment, which

is a critical activity as RCM is very data driven. Such a transformation program requires

capability development for which our O & M Engineers are undergoing RCM Immersion

training to acquaint themselves with the terminology of RCM and talk the RCM language.

The training is interactive and creates awareness, which will result in successful adoption

and implementation of RCM.

I hereby urge all of you to have a focused approach, a motivated mindset and adopt RCM as

a way of working. Doing so will make the RCM implementation journey a successful one

and enable each of us to give our best at the workplace every single day.

Mr. Brajesh Singh, Chief

O&M, CGPL. Leading

RCM initiatives at CGPL.

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a proventool for continuous improvement focused aroundreliability. Reliability, and not availability, hasbecome the key word in this new age of Operationand Maintenance (O & M).

Problems were solved in silos.

Communities of Interest (CoI) have been formed for cross division problem sharing and efficient problem solving.

There is some issue with the Turbine!

How do we solve

this problem

?

We have tried

everything internally

We have analyzed data too!

We have raised the issue to COI –Turbine and it is being

discussed across divisions

The other division had faced this problem.

They guided us and

solved the problem.
