Redlist ATTAIN '25 Keynote on RCM by Nancy Regan

Step out of firefighting mode and into a proactive reliability world before your equipment "licks" you.

In this engaging keynote, reliability trainer Nancy Regan from RCM Training Online uses stories, humor, and a live audience experiment to demystify Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and show you how to get the reliability you actually need from your assets while winning the support of leadership, operators, and maintainers.

You'll learn how to:

Shift from a reactive, failure-driven culture to a proactive reliability philosophy
Write clear equipment functions that define the level of reliability you need
Identify failure modes at the right level of detail so they lead to effective actions
Use the P–F curve correctly to set condition-based maintenance (CBM) task intervals
Understand why CBM intervals are based on the P–F interval and not MTBF, useful life, or criticality
Run facilitated, cross‑functional RCM analyses that capture your experts' knowledge
Gain buy‑in from executives, middle management, operators, and maintainers by "speaking their language"
Turn comfort and complacency into action so your reliability program actually moves forward

What's covered in this session:

The two reliability worlds: proactive vs. reactive
The story of "Larry the Licker" and what it really means to "lick your equipment"
RCM in a nutshell: the seven steps and where FMEA / FMECA fit in
Five critical RCM fundamentals everyone in reliability must understand
How to use equipment experts as your most valuable reliability resource
The human side of reliability: culture, negotiation, and motivation
A practical mindset and physics-based perspective on taking consistent action toward your goals

This video is ideal for:

Reliability engineers and maintenance engineers
Maintenance & operations leaders and supervisors
Plant, facility, and asset managers
Anyone responsible for uptime, safety, and lifecycle cost of physical assets
