Software Details - Functionality:
Statistical analysis of failure and successful performance data, by fitting the
Weibull and/or bi-Weibull distribution. Estimates the mean life and other
distribution parameters, and graphically indicates the failure pattern as burnin,
random or wearout, or a combination.
Works from direct data entry, from spreadsheet data, or from parameter
estimates. Calculates optimal preventive replacement intervals and
corresponding spare parts requirements. Tabular and graphic outputs to
screen or printer.
Current version 10.01. New features allow user to include notes on specific
failures and to flag specific failures in or out of analysis.
Runs on IBM-PC. Cost: Single user license $1750. Site license $4400.

Software Details - Functionality:
RIMSys, facilitates the recording, management, resolution, and archiving of
equipment failure incidents. RIMSys is a simple process which guarantees
that records, reports and projects will never be lost or forgotten.
OMCS has added a new feature to its Reliability Incident Management System
software. The new feature is designed to integrate data from remote or isolated
areas quickly and simply. Now it is possible for staff without access to the
RIMSys application to raise incidents into the RIMSys database using a basic
Microsoft Word form to automatically submit data via your e-mail program.
RIMSys is specifically designed to target equipment failure incidents which
cause unexpected down time and production loss, and which, therefore,
require investigation to prevent these incidents reoccurring.
The new RIMSys software guides you through defined investigation, action,
implementation and archiving processes, and, can be customised to suit the
needs and structure of your organisation. It records all incidents, giving a
summary screen for a clear overview, which details screens for specifics,
searching, filtering, data extraction and reporting. Each incident is assigned
a ‘status’at every step along the way and user definable consequences can
be assigned to each incident to assist with prioritising.
RIMSys software is an e-mail based notification system. Through Microsoft
Outlook it can be configured to notify individuals and groups of certain
events in the investigation resolution process.
RIMSys is designed as a stand-alone software, appealing to most maintenance
professionals. It can also be purchased as part of the PMO2000 software allowing
quick retrieval of planned maintenance tasks associated with the equipment being
investigated. It includes a configurable Risk Assessment calculator and can be an
attachment of any type of file to each incident for archiving formal reports, and
including photographs in recording and investigations.
You can purchase or rent the full version of RIMSys via internet download and
credit card transaction. Rental prices start from just AUS $1700 p/a. RIMSys is
designed to take the administrative headache out of investigation. Now with
RIMSys at your service, gone are the days when you "can't find that piece of paper"
or when you cannot respond in seconds on the status of a specific investigation.

TIME TO REVIEW MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES
AND/OR OPTIMISE CURRENT PRACTICE ?
The Australian owned and developed RCM Turbo methodology is the choice of organisations world wide for
the development and review of optimised, RCM based maintenance schedules.
From nuclear power plants to pet food processing operations, the principles of RCM are applied using RCM
T u r b o to the generation of maintenance regimes that lead to minimisation of failure consequences, while
striking the optimal balance between equipment reliability expectations and total annualised cost. RCM T u r b o
re p resents a powerful decision support platform while leaving a detailed audit trail of the basis for all
assumptions.
At the same time, the issue of spare parts required to sustain the maintenance practice is an important one.
The Spares Optimisation System (SOS) continues to address this in a unique manner. A criticality assessment
is applied to establish the importance of a spare to continued plant re l i a b i l i t y. This priority outcome is convert e d
to a recommended max/min holding, taking into account economic order quantity and safety stock calculations.
A cost/risk analysis is also applied to expensive items or capital/insurance spares. Advanced 'What if ?'
exploration capabilities enhance decision making in SOS.
Both RCM Turbo and SOS will deliver substantial and measurable business improvement.
