(Adaptive Maintenance for System Reliability)

Director, Reliability Management Consultant Pvt. Ltd.

He earned his degree in Mechanical Engineering from NIT Durgapur followed by a Masters’s degree in Machine Design from NIT Rourkela and a Post Graduate Certificate in Condition Based Maintenance, Maintenance Management & Manufacturing Systems from the U.K and a Certification in Training from Milton Keynes, U.K.

Before opening his consulting practice he worked in Cemindia, Larsen & Toubro and IIPM for a total of 18 years gaining practical field experience in Maintenance and Reliability Engineering.

For the next 25 years he offered his services to clients in India and abroad through his consulting firm RMCPL (Reliability Management Consultant Pvt. Ltd.). 

During the past 43 years, he pioneered the introduction of Condition Based Maintenance, Design Out Maintenance, Computerised Maintenance Management System, Reliability Centred Maintenance and Adaptive Maintenance for System Reliability (refer: https://wordpress.com/page/rgbwaves.com/2) in India, which changed the engineering practices in India. So far, he has worked with more than 100 clients – the best in class of Indian Industries.

He focuses and specialises on the heart of reliability improvement, i.e. to increase the MTBF of machines and maximise effectiveness and reliability of manufacturing systems by helping clients to apply Adaptive Maintenance to sustain profitability of a manufacturing organisation. He believes that – traditional maintenance practices are not viable options to improve system reliability to sustain profitability of any manufacturing organisation.

However, once the improvements through Adaptive Maintenance are in place, organisations continue to gain on-going benefits for years.

1. Pioneered Integrated CBM approach (Vibration & Sound, Wear Debris Analysis, Thermography, Visual, Work Planning & CMMS) in India (from 1990)
2. Pioneered Reliability Improvement and RCM in India (from 1998)
3. Worked with more than 100 clients
and in that process (through various projects) seen the problems and opportunities of Indian Industries both at macro and micro levels.
