When I started out facilitating RCM analyses the "standard" approach was to try to get the BEST people, lock them away for a week or more, and send them off with Homework to ask others in the plant. (If they didn't know the answers)
And what happened? It all got very busy. Resources were slashed to the bone. Instead of getting the best people you started to feel privileged if you had any available people.
Not only that but people (or at least me) started to come to the conclusion that maybe the answers we require aren't in the room?
This is the beauty of implementing RCM in the modern era. If I want to speak to a rocket scientist with experience in extreme cold climates you could find one in less than 5 minutes.
I use LinkedIn as first port of call for all hard to get SME requirements. And it hasn't let me down yet.
Most people are more than happy to answer s brief question or recommend someone who can.
Send an email, get in touch within days if not immediately, and with Skype and DimDim.com in particular you can even set this up in a good environment for knowledge transfer.
Thought it might be of use.
