PMO2000™ is an empirically based approach to Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), quickly engaging those closest to the equipment, the tradesmen and operators.

It can be executed very quickly creating the early returns necessary to make it a self sustaining project.

• Six times faster than conventional RCM

• No need to reinvent the wheel – review and rationalize what you have (formally or informally)

• No need to have a formal maintenance program - if you don’t, we can start you with PM Builder

• Can be used for new equipment or equipment in the design phase

• Operators, maintainers and their supervisors all participate to develop the comprehensive and coordinated program

Vibration analysis is not easy to master. Rather than going to a course that bombards you with facts that you need to remember, come to a Mobius Institute course where you learn “why”. You learn why vibration changes the way it does. You learn why the spectrum has peaks, harmonics, and sidebands. You learn why the analyzer should be set up the way we recommend. And you learn so much more! Vibration analysis makes so much more sense when you understand why. Watching the animations and software simulators makes this all possible. The course is filled with Mobius “Ah ha!” moments when everything suddenly makes sense. To have your own Mobius “Ah ha!” moment, sign up for a Mobius class, or buy the self-paced iLearnVibration system. Please call 877 550 3400, e-mail or…
