Definition
There are four principles that are critical for an reliability centered
maintenance program.
Advantages
RCM does not readily consider the total cost of owning and maintaining an
asset. Additional costs of ownership, like those considered in evidence-based
maintenance, are not considered, and are therefore not factored into the
maintenance considerations.
The first step is to select the piece of equipment for reliability centered
maintenance analysis. The equipment selected should be critical, in terms of
its effect on operations, its previous costs of repair and previous costs
of preventative maintenance.
Step 2: Define the boundaries and function of the systems
that contain the selected equipment
Step 3: Define the ways that the system can fail (failure
modes)
In step 3 the objective is to list all of the ways that the function of the system
can fail. For example, the conveyor belt may fail by being unable to transport
the goods from one end to the other, or perhaps it does not transport the
goods quickly enough.
In this step the effects of each failure mode are considered. Equipment
failures may affect safety, operations and other equipment. Criticality of
each of these failure modes can also be considered.
There are various recommended techniques that are used to give this step a
systematic approach. These include:
At this step, the most appropriate maintenance tactic for each failure mode
is determined. The maintenance tactic that is selected must be technically
and economically feasible.
