2 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 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 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.

3 RCM Knowledge Fair at Hydros and T&D Knowledge 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 Scorecard Anupam

4 My Corner Conversations with you Mr. Brajesh Singh, Chief O&M, CGPL. Leading RCM initiatives at CGPL. and Maintenance (O & M). 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. "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. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a proven tool for continuous improvement focused around reliability. Reliability, and not availability, has become the key word in this new age of Operation Mr. Himadri Bhattacharjee, Lead Engineer Performance and Efficiency. Part of SHR FMEA and MPL Value Initiatives

6 Problems were solved in silos. There is some issue with the Turbine! How do we solve this problem? We have tried everything internally We have analyzed data too! Communities of Interest (CoI) have been formed for cross division problem sharing and efficient problem solving. 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. If you have any questions, please write to us at
